I done fucked up

Based on some of the shitty dealer "deals" out here in SoCal, that truck would still be worth over MSRP.

 

Award for most irrelevant post in a thread goes to..

 

I'd worry more about the leg

 

Damn dude theat sucks.

 

get a new one and sell the old one to some guy

 

Shit...I never have a speech prepared for these things.

 

I heard blueT's 2nd gen never had this problem. Toyota so bad

 

Definitely don't claim it on your insurance. You'll end up paying more in the long run if you go that route. I would say leave it for now and wait until you start finding 3rd gens in pick and pulls.

glad to hear you're ok, everything else can be replaced or improved

 

Well damage is done a would try to straighten. It out much as possible then primer the bare metal and throw a trasharoo over the tailgate.. Until you can get it fixed or buy a new one...

 

This had to have been some incline. I'd just get the paint touched up for now to prevent rust.

 

This^^, or an aftermarket. Its a good war wound. Nothing to hide. If it was anywhere else, I'd say fix it, but tailgates get beat up at times.

 

There is no deductible on windshield damage, because its a safety issue. Pretty sure its been that way for years with all insurance companies.

 

leave it until you find someone who has totalled the FRONT of their white truck. Then just buy that used tailgate for cheap

 

Was the bike crash reported to your insurance?

 

Do you mean this?

 

if it's one thing i learned growing up... never be persistent & try to fix sh*t at night, it doesn't get better (easily) with poor visibility & stubbornness.

 

you need a tailgate "UP" mod to prevent further bubus

 

sorry to hear hope your leg is ok?
