It will buff out

I think it'll buff out.


Got hit sitting at a traffic light. Guy was not paying attention one bit obviously. At least he apologized and asked how I was.

 

That's nice

 

How much damage to your truck?

 

Geez, hope you're ok and not developing any soreness. Looks like his car took the brunt of the damage. Is the bed bent up on the passenger side? If not looks like a pretty straight forward repair.

 

That picture looks pretty cool. I'm sure there is a lot more damage than what it looks like, but all you can see is a smashed (probably totaled) car with what looks like zero damage to the Taco.

 

Truck appears to be good shape. Pushed bumper in on driver's side but doesn't look like it got into fender much. Appears bed alignment is still good. Tailgate opens fine.

I was mad as hell but kept my cool. The deputy asked if I could pull the truck forward. I thought sure. I put her in drive and let her eat. Couldn't help myself. Kind of like Snowman in Smokey and the Bandit when he gets ready to run over the bikers motorcycles.

 

Glad you're okay OP...sucks about your truck. I hope your insurance does right by you.

 

Time for a bumper from Tyler and Satin!

 

Hope so.

 

Time for a new plate bumper!

 

This

I was hit after work last Thur. Guy merged into my drivers rear tire. What he was doing, I have no idea.

If my truck were stock, it would've gotten my rear door, cab, bed, and bumper.

As it was, it just rubbed my tire and scratched my slider a little.

Armor up OP! Lol!

 

NICE!!! Armor up FTW!

 

Sweet. On the plus side it convinced the wife to let me do something. Not sure what yet.

 

your good man, looks like it broke your 6 pin trailer adapter and bent your bumper. Take the insurance payout, find a stock bumper at the junkyard n call it good. Or a plate bumper!

 

Bed has a bit of damage but a lot less than I was expecting. The bed can be repaired and I'd imagine the body shop would recommend replacing the bumper. Only thing I'd be worried about is paint blending and matching so it doesn't look like you ever were in an accident. A quality body shop should have no trouble at all.

 

High clearance rear bumper. No blending required

 

Negative ghost rider. I keep my truck looking good. I don't even have 70,000 miles on it. We have a long way to go.

 

I think we know who won THAT little conflict! Tacoma - 1 ,Inattentive doofus - 0

 

LMAO!!! The car was a Mercury Montego.
