    Ended up in the ditch, decided it was time to do some work since a new fender and hood are in order! Stumbled upon this group while looking for different mods. So many threads to read! Any advice is appreciated!

    Welcome to the group! I'm a big fan of the ARB bumper but that's just personal preference. Looks like fun in the snow!

    Edit: for some reason I thought fender meant bumper. Derp moment. Upon closer inspection that hood looks nice and crumpled.

    I love the humility in joining with a picture of you stuck in the ditch. Welcome aboard!

    It doesn't look like it is stuck too bad and it doesn't look too badly damaged. Is it a PreRunner?

    TRD off-road. Can’t tell but under the truck it’s a really deep ditch. It’s solid ice so it just won’t quite come out! If you look close the hood on the passenger side, you can tell it took a pretty good lick. My little girl was with me, she is good and I just have a sore neck and black eye with a little hurt pride!!! If I’m going to fix it, I decided I might as well hit it with some upgrades!

    Oh man, hope you're okay, if your neck is sore you should probably get it looked at just in case, whiplash can be pretty serious. Did you monitor for concussion symptoms?

    I see what you mean about the hood, shit luck but if you and your girl are fine that's the important thing.

    My best advice is start with the stickies and go from there. My only mod and thus my favourite are seat jackers sold by a member here that lift the front of the bucket seats 1-1/4" and improves lower back support and leg support. I'm 6'1" and it only slightly lifted my line of sight (because they don't lift the back) and I can still see everything clearly I need to.

    Welcome to TW. I hope you don't like money. Because this site will convince you to spend it all.
