I done fucked up

So after a bike crash I fucked up my leg and was in a lot of pain. I was about A five minute drive home. I had bed extender on at the time so the tailgate was down. I parked on an incline and before thinking backed up, hitting the tailgate against the ground. What should I do.

 

Go to bed.

Tomorrow you'll feel better and be able to figure it out.

A) have it fixed
B) leave it

 

Special order a new tailgate from dealership.

 

oh… oh no! Not sure how your insurance is looking, but depending on your deductible you may want to just claim it and get a new tail gate. There's just something about having damage on your ride… you never look at it the same until its gone.

 

Get a new tailgate.

 

That sucks!. I had my truck for two weeks when a big ass rock smashed my windshield. My deductible was (and still is) $200, so it was worth to claim. An original had to shipped from Japan and safelite installed in 3 weeks after filing claim.. Total bill was around $1500.. and I paid 200.

Try going through insurance. I'm sure a new tailgate won't be cheap.

 

@DCSBFTMFW is absolutely correct. Don't stress over it right now. It can be fixed, so relax before you stress yourself out even more. Look into dealer prices tomorrow and see if insurance would pay for such damages.

 

i backed into a post once. paid upfront for a stripped tailgate and installation. they kept transferred the internals

 

I think it looks fine. Just leave it. Then you won't care when you cave in the first rocker panel.

 

BUGGY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Im sure a new tailgate will be pretty expensive especially since it has a backup camera. I wouldn't mind too much but the paint is stripped off. It looks a lot worse in person trust me. Going to the dealer tomorrow.

 

Looks like a complete loss to me.

 

OMG OMG OMG. is the bike okay?

 

Put a bandaid on it, will be healed in 4-6 weeks.

 

Don't worry, my leg took most of the impact.

 

Whew, man I was worried for a moment. Jk. Body panels can be fixed. Shit happens. When life gives you lemons, buy a steel bumper

 

Where is the guy who wanted to throw a rock at his brand new truck just to get the first ding out of the way. Sucks OP, tough call. Is it worth a claim to your insurance? If it were me I would have to get it fixt.

Good Luck

 

I'll believe that guy when me shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.

 

If not sober get your ass outta there, other than that pay the fuck attention to what yer doing, too much $$$$ invested to sleep at the wheel....
