    This morning a flatbed truck cut me off and wiped out the whole driver's side of my 2010 Tacoma. :mad:

    I think I am fine, except my back is a bit tight right now, hopefully just from tension.

    I took pics with my cell, but I must have not saved them because they are gone. I'll try to get some up.

    Of course, all my custom work was damaged:
    Sockmonkey decals
    Muth heated turn signal mirror
    Nerf bar
    Moto Metal rims, one broke, the other badly scratched
    Hankook tires, one badly scuffed, the other popped.

    I know the upper frame is bent some, where the front door latches, that post is bent back. I wish they would total it, but I doubt they will.

    EDIT: My mistake, I'm still a bit shook up. It is the rear door that is bent, so obviously they will just replaced both doors.

    Here are some pics I took today. The back wheel and tire are spares. Turns out the rear axle is bent, so that will need to be replaced too.

    Nothing that a good buffer couldn't buff out!

    Glad to hear you are ok for the most part though. Looks like it could have been worse.

    Surprisingly, no. But I'm thinking it is because it was a low speed impact.

    Worst part about these things is that your truck will never feel the same :/

    Glad you are okay though
