Any damage to your tacoma

Got rear ended, totalled a small ford escort. She hit me around 30mph, I was going around 1mph- waiting for the car in front of me to turn off of the street we were driving on.





Ended up, having the bed flex into the cab- denting it and chipping the paint. The spare tire carrier bent into the bed from the underneath, denting upward and chipping paint. Also the bumper was dented- and the mounting brackets were toast.

Well I decided that it was mostly aesthetic damage- some that didn't really bug me that much.

I went forward from there & built my own rear bumper.







Also pulled the trigger on this setup!



Installing on the 1st of Dec. STOKED. Definitely pays to have good insurance.

 

Trail stripes for dayzzzzzz. Also I need to invest in some sliders this winter. I have a few nice dings on the lower cab from rocks flipping up driving down rocky trails at work. I also had the misfortune of backing up into a stump not behind me but behind my RR passenger door. I got an estimate of $2800 and $3000. The damage isn't that extensive so I'm going to look into something this winter while I'm laid off for the season after all I think there will be a lot of DIY with this truck

 

Here is mine.

 

....





just kidding that was the donor vehicle for my e-locker axle, lol

my rear bumper has a small dent on the driver side where a lady in a Dodge backed into me in the parking lot of IHOP... irritates me every time I wash the truck and see it...

 

At first..I was like....OH FUUUU**! You trickster

 

i went to hard on some of the trails by my house caught 3 feet of air and when i landed broke a sway bar link

 

lol I work in a scrap yard and I see a few Tacos messed up like that every once in a while and it sort of breaks my heart... then I'm like "oooh, what can I get off this one for myself!". In the case of that one, a full e-locker rear and and the dash button to go in my 06 Prerunner

 

Badass, that's a pretty sweet deal you have goin! Definitely sad seing them all torn up in lots though

 

Bro destroys Tacoma in desert episode 2? . Sorry had to.





What's the story? Obviously you were huckin

 

Actually no huck this time... Just a wash out too fast...

 

lets see, I've had a few damages on my taco with nearly 163k.

2 wheel bearings
1 rear axle
drive shaft carrier bearing
rear axle pinion bearing
rear axle carrier bearing
rear bumper
rear fender
3 rear tail lights
brake pedal bushing
front headlight
front bumper
front bumper fender clip
and a few other odds and ends

 

HAHAhahahahaha thats awesome!!!

 

Yep! Definitely was the catalyst for upgrades that I couldn't afford, so they'd come in the next few years.. But now's the time!!

Oh yeah, I also got new speakers...

 

I backed over a rock, then backed into a parked truck... dang backup camera only works if you look at it.... got thing that came out is I replaced the bumper with a paint to match instead of chrome and while I was at hit had the shop paint an AM grille BSP as well. Used the Insurance check for that.

 

What? Dude, you have to explain what happened. We know you're ok but what about the Taco? Who cares about the other driver. JK - Is she alright? Haha.

 

hit and run. i was working on the roof at a homeonwers house and my truck was parked on the street right infront of that lightpole heard the crash came running out to this. the driver of the civic ran off and i dont think ever was found. the truck is totaled but i already got a new 4x4 one! and its an upgrade so in a way this crash was a good thing haha. i love how you said is SHE ok. haha it was a guy tho. probly drunk. heres the truck i have now.

 

Haha yeah I do and yes I have......
-Dent on right quarter panel and busted antenna> Tree
-Backed into tree and dented bumper
-Pushing tree with new bumper, slipped to the side and broke a tail light.
-Dent on rear rightside of box> Tree
-Lost front mud flap on a trail before the lift kit was installed
-Lost rear mud flap backing over a tree 2 weeks ago
-Blew wheel bearing on the side of the highway
-Broke through the ice on a creek and bent up my tie rods
-Blew my transmission from repetative use of the accelerator in 4lo when going through mud
-Scuffs and scratches through out entire truck.

I can't believe that totaled it. And to think it was just parked sitting there. They'll find this idiot who did this. Well, congrats on the truck. Almost looks the same as the older one.
