My First Fender Bender

it didnt affect the light output of the headlights at all. you dont paint the chrome behind the bulb, you'll see what i'm talking about when u pull your lights apart for the first time. the chrome piece that clips onto the back of the lense is the only part you'll paint, and you just spray the entire thing.

 

I pray 2 god every day that I do not have to post something like this!..I live in S0 Cal, land of the uninsured and uneducated driver!...I think I drive more cautiously now than when I took my drivers test way back in 1987!

 

By the way, sorry for your misfortune with the truck!

 

Hey Kilo, any deals for your planned ARB bumper?
How many miles are you driving to get it?
Are you going to mod it for a color coded or you will keep it black?
Any fog lamps or winch on the order?

Too many questions, but those bumpers are great and looks even better!

Regards.

 

Whats that bumper look like and run?

 

Sorry to hear of your accident, glad to hear it's only the truck that got hurt.

 

This is an image of the ARB bumper on a Tacoma 05-08..




I'm used to see ranch style bumpers (deep south Texas), but this one I think is the best fit on design and functionality for a Tacoma.

Regards.

 

Sorry about the accidents. Both of them demonstrate what I hate about our trucks. You get in a fender bender or hit a pole/tree/etc. Looking at the bumper everything looks fine with maybe a dent, crack, or scratch you can live with (not worth the $500 insurance deductible). Next thing you know you start seeing all these bent metal braces or broken plastic clips/mounts when you pop the hood or crawl under for the next oil change! The bumper is fine, but it's shattered or bent half the crap behind it.

I'm planning on getting a Shrockworks bumper just for that reason. I'm tired of the factory plastic cover flexing and breaking shit then popping back like nothing happened.

Awesome bumper, PT, is that TACOMA yours? Did you like it that way or in some way you think to have it color coded?

 

No, that's not my truck. I haven't figure out how to come up with the 800+ bones for the bumper and a winch. Damn money tree is dead.

 

Well yes is, this bumper is pricey, and is around $900.00 (no color coded -black-) and I'm almost sure no winch at all, you have to add the price of it for a whole package. That is why I'm pouring some water to that tree you mentioned and see if by Christmas I can get it.

Regards.
