MikeyMcFly's 2013 AccessCab Build

new rig gonna be anotha Tacoma?

 

Yep, already ordered.

Silver 2016 DCSB Off-Road with the 6MT and the Premium and Technology package.

 

Damn that is gonna be sweet!

 

Wow,

Can I ask what the other vehicle was?

Seems it was lower then yours and that ARB either deflected it well or it was taller and your suspension took all the blow.

Glad your ok man.

Did they (Insurance) total it out for you?

 

The other vehicle was a 2001 Grand Prix. I have pictures but I don't want to post them out of privacy respect even though the other dude crossed the line and smashed me. I defintiely went more over him as he was deflected off the truck. It tore up the LCA though and ripped the axle out of the front differential. I noticed a second contact hit further down on the truck that I didn't initially notice.

It actually straight up tore the front left side off his car, best I can tell he didn't have an upright anymore.

Insurance totaled out the truck after some back and forth. They initially told me $6,200 worth of damage and wanted to pull the frame straight, but the body shop worked with me and got it totaled it out.

 

I'm glad you're OK dude, hope the other person wasn't injured either, I'm glad they totaled your truck out though.

 

***A moment of silence for this lost jem***

 

Thanks. I miss it daily. I love the new one, but man, it's weird having a stock truck again. I've got the build list for the new one, but it's not going to have the ARB/Lift

 

I was shocked to see you went DCSB...

figured you'd make your own recreation out of the 2016!

 

Something something life something something future children something something house projects something something.

Honestly, the DCSB does make more sense than the AC at this point. A very small part of me kicked myself for going AC in the first place. I justified going DCSB by going 6MT this go round.



As you can see the light bar just doesn't look right on the new truck.

I've got these just awaiting BFGs though:



Just enough similarities to make it interesting. Just give it some time, I'll be back with something good looking.

 

@MikeyMcFly

Nice build! Which sport bar do you have?

 

I had an N-Fab on my 2013 (and shown test fit on my 2016). I have a Black Horse Off-Road on my 2016.

I didn’t like how the N-Fab looked on my 2016, but I liked the general mounting of the N-Fab better. I plan on doing some work to my Black Horse bar over the winter.
