    Well I finally fucked up my 2-year old Taco. Got a little carried away this weekend in the backcountry ripping through sketchy trails. I swiped a tree on the drivers side while backing up. Appears to be just body damage as I drove it home 60 miles with no issue.

    Pics attached. The rear quarter panel / bed panel definitely needs to be replaced along with the rear taillight. Damage extends beyond the bed panel to the rear door. Door handle is all scraped up and the frame between the door and bed panel is also dented (which I could probably live with).

    Any thoughts on how much this will cost to fix? I’m a huge dumbass and I’m super bummed I did this to my truck I’m still paying off! The passenger side is scraped to shit, so I also need to get it buffed and waxed, although I might skip that if too expensive.

    Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Watch out for them trees!46FD6BFD-349E-4D65-8BEE-84D0AA378BC4.jpg 1B1A763C-4A4D-4339-8B66-D088695CAC8D.jpg BDDCC4B3-B0BA-4089-9E09-DA66F136DCBF.jpg 491B0AE8-299A-4A3C-90D7-3B42306412AC.jpg

    All the things!
    Looks like the +$6k range to me... at least for a proper fix. I have some taillights in the market place if you're interested.

    Good luck!

    Holy shit! I was hoping for $2-3k. Looks like it’s not getting fixed! Sure as hell ain’t reporting it to insurance.

    Wow really!? Maybe I should report it. I figured my rates would go way up. I don’t have any recent claims either. I just figured they’d think I was high-risk running into shit out in the backcountry!

    Mine didn't even ask how it happened. although I did tell them. I'm not saying your insurance won't go up either I'm saying mine didn't. everyone's insurance is different

    Might find a whole new bed at a salvage yard and a door. Swapping out a whole bed is a Hell of a lot easier than fussing with a bedside. Paintless dent repair might get most of that dent out of the C Pillar.

    That or flatbed it...

    Looks like you have MGM color. If you do get it fixed, make sure they do a good job matching the color.

    looks expensive, make it a trail rig :D
    How much are 3rd gen beds? Maybe look for a totaled gray 3rd gen and swap beds? Or even bedsides if thats possible, I know nothing about third gens. The door looks like it'll buff out pretty decently tho.

    Tell your insurance the tree was falling or jumped out at you when you were passing by, do that with rocks you accidentally hit on the highway too, otherwise its a “at fault” ding on your policy.

    Most likely a new quarter panel, door skin, taillight assembly, paint the whole side, I used to do bodywork and estimate, and you are probably in the 4-6k range.. good luck
