    hi all. I bought a Tacoma a year ago and love the thing. Recently got stationed in San Fran and the drivers here are insanely stupid. I’ve had countless near misses and unfortunately recently someone was dumb enough to try flying around me as I was already changing lanes and side swiped me... luckily only damaging the front bumper cap, fender flare and wheel. I’m super paranoid about damaging my baby and was curious if bull bars, brush guards, bumpers or off road fabrications were enough to protect any of your trucks from minor fender benders or bumper dingers and is it worth it? Thanks!

    Bumpers and sliders. Sliders for door dings in parking lots and bumpers for the non parallel parking aims of bitches
