Hit and run on my 1st Gen

My Tacoma got hit last night, while it was parked. Distracted NorCal drivers.

 

bunch of douchebags...

I have a redneck nice Imperial jade tailgate off my 2004 for $100. The corners have surface rust and the inside was coated with shit in a can roll on bedliner The shipping would be an assache

Makes me mad looking at it!Any Neighboor’s maybe with surveillance cameras?

 

If you were closer I would get it from you!

 

that sucks. luckily it only looks like body damage and a new tail light.

 

I hate parking on the street for this reason. I'm always scared of getting hit. Was this parallel parked or in a parking lot? Have you decided if you are going to try and fix it yourself or use your insurance? Sorry this happened to you.

 

I picked up replacement bumper yesterday, and my son and I plan on putting it on this weekend. I don't mind wrenching and know nothing about body work. So the dent won't be addressed anytime soon. In the meantime, it adds a little bit of charachter It looks like whoever hit me might have been making a U turn, since the truck was in an angled parking spot.

 

Not even a “someone saw me hit your car so I’m writing this to make it look like I’m leaving my phone number” note?

 

Aftermarket bumper would've def protect your bed and fuck up their ride.

 

Now it's a reason to armor up.best of a bad deal.

 

“Honey, to repair the damage, I need to bob the bed, then get a new plate bumper and swing away tire carrier to prevent this from happenig again.”

 

This could be the start of many upgrades.

 

Just tell the wife, " look insurance will total it, but if I spend a few bucks. It'll be like new,but better." And you might pull it off.

 

that suxs. karma will be a bitch one day for them

 

Agreed. Damn, that sucks OP. Likely a texting-distracted a-hole. Hope it gets fixed soon my Man
