    Got hit in the back by a bmw the other day. Here’s the damage to his car.

    And here’s the damage to my Tacoma.

    Thank goodness I had a solid steel shackle hitch on at the time. The bmw driver was really cool about the whole situation and took full responsibility. Had the whole truck inspected and insurance payed out for repairs. Got enough left over from the insurance check for some sliders. What sliders do you recommend? Maybe a steel bumper would be better considering the city I live in.

    Yeah everything was intact, minus some missing tabs and minor scratches. Truck still drives like nothing happened.

    If you 4x4, sliders.

    If you rush hour traffic, exoskeleton.

    Whatever you pick, it maybe best to find a vendor that is close to your area. Then you can save on shipping costs. You may even be able to pick up.
