Dinged new 08 Taco :(

I'm so pissed!! My wife backed into another car at Wal-Mart with my less than week-old Taco The adjuster/appraiser listed repair for 942 clams with a 500 bucks deductible. Sh*t!!

Sooo, i'm thinking of getting a real bumper, but the only rear bumper I can find with Google is from All-Pro. I'd like to have other options, other than another crappy stock bumper.

Does anyone know of any other 05+ rear bumper outfit beside the All-Pro?

I think the A-P looks cool, but not sure if it looks good with my TRD Sport. What say ye???

Danke!

 

heres the all pro - personally I think it would look good if your geared for mostly off road... but not so much for a street truck.. thats just me

The right corner of the rear bumper got injured. It's pushed in towards the bed and caused a small dent.

Yes, I have the factory hitch.

 

Sorry about your luck. Mine 08 isn't a week old yet so I think I would cry! My wife actually totally wrecked one of our cars and wrote it off... 2 days old. Thank goodness she was ok and it was only a Ford Escort! We then bought a Civic and have always been with a jap. cars, suv, and trucks since.

I agree with TacoSter about the look of the bumber from All-Pro, not my taste.

 

Sorry cool, I would think the air in the house is pretty grim, I would be pretty damn upset, anything banged up can just get repaired.

 

Well guys, thanks for the inputs. I wasn't too upset with the good woman, she doesn't want to drive the truck anymore though. LOL As was said, it's repairable... like most things, all it takes is money. *groan*

The All-Pro is cool looking, but after some consideration, it just doesn't look right for a street ride... I'll just have to pony up the deductible and send the truck to the auto body shop.

It's a shame there are no aftermarket bumpers for a street truck. I'd think there is a market out there.

OTOH, I'm thinking that the Westin bull bar would look awesome on our truck. Maybe after paying off the Xmas bills, will I seriously look at installing a set.

Thanks for the help guys!!
