    Hey I got in a accident Friday morning! Traffic stopped immediately on the 405 in LA! All my airbags deployed and pretty bad front end damage. Just curious if anyone has any input! Definitely not my best day. Thanks in advance

    Looks like a loss. What did your insurance company say?

    Insurance company is looking at it today! So I’m not sure yet. Definitely felt like the last time I’ll get to drive it

    That sucks dude. Glad you are okay.
    Looks like it's going to the junkyard to me. Fixable sure, but insurance companies don't usually want to deal with anything after airbag deployment. Unless you source parts yourself and know how to do the repairs, you'd better start looking for another taco

    If insurance claims a vehicle is totalled, is the owner able to part out that vehicle? I'm sure a certain forum of Tacoma people could use a piece or two of that corpse..

    I NEVER see Taco's at my local Pick N Pull..

    Also- Sorry for your loss :(

    Negative they don’t let you remove parts from the car once in there possession unless he buys it out and wants to part it. Which wouldn’t make sense in this situation.

    The bad in all of this is that Truck and Car prices are increasing rapidly due to the shortage of IC Chips. So even if you find one you like the cost will be high.
