Shin Buster

Back on topic that shit hurts like hell... And I somehow get my head on the door jamb as well occasionally

Have you seen his shins? Looks like the back of a brahma bull...disgusting, lol.

 

I can't say that I have

 

I thought, "never happen to me". Today I was in a rush, jumped in and "smack". I was a whimpering like a new born pup!!

 

I'm telling you!

 

Banned

 

6'4" here and never hit my knees.

 

Rock lobster got banned? From thread or permanently?

 

I had this same exact interior in my 03 and never had a problem. My new taco, I hit my shins when I first bought it, but have trained my self since because that freakin hurts. I still scuff my speaker up when I get out, but it doesn't hurt so I haven't learned yet. Apparently my intelligence level is the about the same as a retarded dog because I only learn when it hurts. I hate to think of what that makes those of you who are still hitting your shins/knees. HAHA

 

I kick it once in awhile and hate scuffing up a new door panel. Aww dammit but I learned to open the door a little more before hopping in or be more careful.

I got mud in the little holes of the speaker cover and it's difficult cleaning that out.

Thanks for the link. That's some bullshit. That comment wasn't even offensive, yet someone like BlueT can come on here telling a new Tacoma owner their truck is a pile of shit, and they should see it and go buy a Crosstrek....

RIP Rock Lobster

 

2020 Tacoma TRD Pro Access Cab 4x4. Has happened about 20 times in 4 years, this bolt gets you if not careful. This past week twice! Used Duct Seal for conduits and it is a clay like material that can be removed. Hope it helps.

I am in and out of my truck a fair amount opening and closing gates at my farm.
Have knocked my shin there many times in my 21 and current 23.
A few times resulting in blood drawn.

 

Same height 5'11 and I had a bad habit of hitting it.

 

Get in slower ?

 

I did a search for shin buster and came across this. I’ve hit my right shin hard enough a couple times to draw blood. I hit my left shin the other day. I’m glad I’m not alone!

 

Not once in 6 years that happened to me. Even with the tekosha brake controller.
