THREAD CLOSED

I was on my way to work and carelessly got hit by a speeding car. Im OK but the front end got trashed, alot of things are bent and loose, definitely needs an alignment and who knows what else. I'm going to get my truck checked out to make sure it's in working order once I'm able.

The purpose of this post is for your suggestions! I'm keeping this truck for as i long live, This taco may be a basic 4cyl automatic pool boy truck but its mine.

*Edit* Damm you guys really want the full report, fine. I was making a left into a small neighborhood street, heavy traffic, 2 lanes yielded for me to pass and when I did a speeding car on the 3rd lane ( not even a real lane, more like a turning/merging lane) hit my right corner and hit/pushed my tacoma pretty hard and caused all that damage. I dont know the speed they were going. Speed limit was 35 and it was heavy traffic. I might get an attorney since I had no insurance at the time. There ya go you dogs lol​

Please post your suggestions on what my next steps should be, what are your aftermarket suggestions to cover it up? Keep it stock ? Let me know!

Much love

 

What now? Call their insurance and have them handle this....

 

First step is to probably get it fixed

 

Did you get their info or was it a hit-and-run? First step would be to contact insurance...

 

Thats more like a 2nd or 3rd step

 

Long story but Insurance isnt involved! I'm paying out of pocket

 

Looks like the front frame mounts are bent. I’d get a quote on insurance to fix it and what needs to be done then look at your options.

 

....why do people insist on doing this....

 

this is why you have that thing called insurance

 

sounds sketchy

 

Totaled buy new one

 

Sorry Dude. That sucks.

 

I would go through your insurance and have a body shop assess the damages as a good starting point.

 

If it really wasn't your fault, I see no reason not to involve insurance. Whats your deductable? 500 bucks? I'm sure its gonna cost much more than that to fix

 

time to spill the beans OP!!!!

 

Cant afford insurance, wants aftermarket parts. Sounds logical

 

get a few free estimates from various Autobody shops,if your paying the cost they can use non Toyota OEM parts at a lower cost.

 

and if the other drivers at fault use his/her insurance unless its trick

 

Sounds like you don’t have insurance lol

 

Any airbags deploy?

Go get it checked out at a shop anyway, they'll give you a better idea of what it needs
