What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I want to say I went with the Cali Raised

 

@C4 Fabrication Lo Pro Front Bumper, Frame Supports, and Warn Zeon 10S Winch
Controller Relocation to behind the grille mount = easy access, doesn't obstruct radiator. Just need to spool the rope, will have to wait until it's not rainy in Seattle.

Any mpg improvements with the kdmax tune?

 

Just got er done Saturday so too early to tell. Honestly all I was after was better overall driveability and got exactly what I asked for. Any other benefits such as mpg are welcomed but not expected.

 

Thanks

 

They don’t promise any gas mileage gain but most people see a 1-2 mpg increase

 

That’s huge in California!

 

Kinda what I figured, but again not what I was after with the tune.

 

Got my Bed Lights and 3rd Brake Light wired it. To easy of a project will dress up the Brake Light wire better. Will slide Loom over the exposed wire at the light and then anchor it the rest of the way. Bed Lights are brite and the Adapter was so east to use and kept the job clean. A couple black thin Tie/Wraps and it is finished.

 

Tough day for my Tacoma with 15k miles. Local Body shops backed up until March, no new OffRoads at the local dealership, no rent a trucks available and I’m sure the guys insurance want recognize any of this info into the equation. If it’s totaled, how would a customer buy- back work with $18k still on loan?

 

Can you show us a picture of the frame by the rear wheel? Im assuming its bent

 

Oh that sucks dude. I think the first conversation would be with your insurance. Worst case, you might be able to buy it back from Copart or wherever the insurance company ships it if they total it.

 

Oof, judging by the damage and apparent force of impact, i'd be willing to bet the frame is tweaked. Hopefully it just the bed but.. He pretty much went full speed into the tow hitch which is bolted to the frame. Ouch.

Chances are the private party value of your truck is higher than whatever you owe on your loan. Should it be totalled, the insurance company would pay off your loan and issue a check to you for the difference. If you want to buy it back you'll have to negotiate their buy back price, but either way the loan would need to be paid off first and then you would have to hope the remainder covers the buy back value of the truck or else you will be out of pocket.

In another light, if the damage isn't too extensive, they'll just repair it and cover the cost. Whatever body shop you take it to, make sure they check every nook and cranny to ensure that all damaged parts are covered and no damages are left undiscovered and unrepaired if they go the route of repair. Fine tooth comb.

 

Dang - that sux! Let your insurance company fight it out with his. Hopefully, nobody was hurt. You should be covered for a rental while it's being fixed (if possible). Frame looks pretty buckled in the bed.

 

Anyone know of where to get clear topo vinyl? or just topo line overlays in this size? Ive been looking all over

 

$350 isnt really much painted. You can prob sell your OEM bumper for money to offset the cost of these.[/QUOTE]
R4T also has some affiliate codes floating around, for example using "TALONSEI" will save 5% – I believe just on items made by R4T – at check out.

 

I would go for and push a Total on that truck with that frame damage ect. Your resale later will be bad showing a wreck! Hidden damage in other places in the frame hit that hard knocking it out of alignment.

 

Sorry bud. At least the striking vehicle looks expensive...

 

Don't forget about Whip Lash Problems later!! I suffer from a screwed up neck from past wrecks never collected on. Probley worth more then the truck in money! Bring it up they will settle with you for possible future problems. I know now I sure would been a nice guy before to many times!
