I Gotta Rant...

I got to release some anger built up - I have a month old 2021 TRD OR, its pretty much my new pride and joy as I'm sure everyone's truck is their pride and joy. So far my lady has added a ding into the door, and spilled Chinese food on the seats. Then I find the back corner passenger bumper cracked! Like really?? I didn't spend 40k for other people to destroy! Jeeze man...I'm down for Trail damage that I create or accidently do/did so I'm totally aware of that. its just the consideration of other people around! I don't know if I'm taking this too personal, but this really ticks me off.

If anyone has the passenger rear corner bumper for sale please let me know....

 

Welcome to TW!

The fury is real! Especially that new and at first! Trust me! Had someone tear into mine a week old in a parking lot and they just drove off! Eventually that fades, but totally understandable! This is the right place to be for some help!

 

<<<Your girl in your truck probably.

 

Man, I'm sorry. I'd be frustrated too. I have some suggestions that might help. Bumper Covers would be faster and cheaper than replacing a bumper:

Seat covers like Katzkin could be a good upgrade:

Come to the cheap side.

 

Why do you let her drive it or even look at it at this point?

 

The spilled Chinese food is the most offensive to me. How do you end up eating a full on meal in the truck? I give my wife hell if she drops crumbs in my truck lol.

 

Could be worse, it could've been Me! JK! sorry about your bad luck!

 

Better your lady, then some random Karen at the grocery store.

 

Probably doing takeout and the package tipped over.

 

Easy solution. Get a new lady.

 

And then go get a McRibb to celebrate.

The McRibb is back ya know?!

Just don't eat it in the truck.

 

I'm about 4 months in and I know that first dent/ding/scratch is going to hurt. Like you said, hopefully it's trail damage or at least something with a good story behind it.
I did acquire a scratch across one of the black plastic fenders, but it's invisible unless you're really looking for it.

 

Yeah I guess that makes sense, but when I pick up food I never put it on the seats. Even if it doesnt spill, the bags been sitting in a greasy restaurant. This is why tub floor mats are always my first purchase, they can hold more than a gallon of liquid before spilling onto the carpet.

 

Oh man - I already got some heat from her because I asked her if she did ok Backing up the boat trailer to pick me up at the boat ramp. She said did great, but i was kinda skeptical- then I asked her again when I noticed the crack and she got pissed....I'm just gonna order a new bumper on her Amazon account now...

 

When I get my wife to back down the ramp I get it straight in the slot for her first. Nothing against her, she just does not have the skill to steer it in reverse, and accidents can happen so fast with a trailer.

 

thank you so much for the recommendations - its just sucks I got to spend this money - I'm just gonna add this to my Christmas list.

 

lol Right? and she wants a new 4runner..... HAA

 

Even the Mona Lisa is falling apart

 

I like to put my carryout bag on the passenger seat with the seat heater on, but maybe it would be a good idea to use a small plastic tote or something as a protective barrier between the greasy bag and the seat...
