    I know if I'm sitting in my truck and they hit my truck; game on.

    Update: I spent a few hours with Meguiars step 1 paint cleaner and buffed all the Yellow off the paint. Used some Goo Gone to get it off the chrome bumper spots. The bumper will bend back, barely tell. I only have 1 chip on the fender edge I can easily touch up and buff out. So I will need a Tail light and drop the tail gate off to get the dent/gouge repaired. Not so bad.... Now to find a tail light.

    that sucks pretty bad too. A pillar. Well at least I can leave the tail gate with them, and still drive the truck. Who wants to sell me a RH OEM tail light??? Common guys.. Only need one. what a good price for a used TOYOTA light, not some goof ball knock off. All 2005-2009 Tails the same?

    I did the same thing in the first week of owning my truck. Thankfully, all that I got was a dent in my bumper. And dude, was I ever pissed off at myself for days! (BTW, I'm the same age and feel the same way)

    Good luck with the fix!

    They changed in 09, easier to find the 05-08s, maybe local salvage, post a wtb in all the forums or online dealer vendors like trdparts4u

    best prices I've found is online toyota dealers. roughly $115. Called 2 local dealers...

    Dealer A-$281
    Dealer B-$200

    What a price spread. Dealer B is where I used to buy my parts from b/c they were always cheaper, but online toyota parts houses are still much cheaper.
