    Good luck with that, whenever I park out in the outfield, there’s always a herd of cars parked alongside of me when I get back from the store. Its like my Taco is a car magnet of some sort.

    Doesn't matter what you do. An asshole will go out of their way to be so. An idiot doesn't know better. It's hard to tell them apart.

    Edit - I was responding to this, not the op (sorry you got hit, great opportunity to upgrade):

    I wouldn't say that. Who's more likely to open their door carelessly and ding your truck, the guy who's driving a new Mustang or whatever creature who drives that rusted out Mazda3 that's running on a spare? The guys who owns a Porsche convertible parking in an end spot or the lady and her 3 kids unloading out of a Santa Fe? I try to park beside vehicles that are likely to be owned by enthusiasts/people who give a shit about their own cars.

    Same goes for shopping carts. Are you more likely to get a random cart ding your door if you park right beside the cart collector or if you're way down the end of the lot?

    Yeah anything can happen but I do my due diligence to minimize my exposure to mouth breathers. That usually means passing on what would otherwise be considered "good" parking spots near the entrance.

    My truck looks the same....

    I never got the insurance to fix it because I have a 500 copay... And a slimline is only like 650 base.

    Cause a Bullbar doesn't absorb energy. Whatever its bolted to, bends.

    I say it to everyone who gets in the fender benders, get a plate bumper and don't look back!

    I’m looking at the SSO slim line but I’m not sure it would cover all of the affected areas...
