What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hah. Op should get some money back for the bumper maker, lots of free advertising going on here.

 

Hilarious reply. Thanks dude I agree. Insurance gave me a good estimate. I trust the shop I took it to as well. Willing to say it was half my fault. I’ll upload some pics once it’s repaired.

 

That was priceless! I can just hear his words now....oh F!!! lol

 

It shouldn’t matter, culpability wise, whether he was on the phone or not. He rear ended you, so the accident is his fault.

 

Used it like it's supposed to be used

 

Dude didn’t even try to stop...
All gas no brakes

 

Very nice looking bumper!

 

Washed her yesterday and now been raining all day. I might be stuck at home…

I’ll just have my GF to drive her dirty rig if I need to go somewhere…

 

Cool we also have the tacoma 4 runner combination

 

Thanks! And for those asking, the bumper is an RCI powder coated white and I covered the top/plate area with Raptor liner

 

damn, pics of his damage, and your bumper unscathed, is kind of selling me on that bumper!!

 

Lol. She wanted a Jeep Wrangler (I had one before my Taco) but I influenced her to get the white 4RT.

 

But is it removable for a reason? Screws would give you a way to remove it, taping wouldn't allow such an easy way to remove it. I don't know much about the snorkle and maintenance of one, so if it never needs to be removed then tape away. What about PVC joint glue?

 

Tacoma-1, Acura-0. Nice job, were there any scratches?--scratch that, saw your other post. I watched the vid 3+ times, he was looking down, but at what? Great evidence. 10 out of 10!

 

Used a Redside Electric illumination harness to illuminate the heated seat switches. No pics of the install as this was a quicky, but I do have some pics of the switches illuminated.

 

Great video!!!! What camera are you using?

Although when you get rear-ended its obviously not your fault, but with this evidence there should be nyet, nada, nothing for the perp to say to the contrary.

 

It was the guy in the Acuras fault, 100%. Why would the insurance companies divide responsibility 50/50?

 

4R, Tacoma, GX460 combo at my place, too.

 

100%. You rear end somebody you are at fault......Fail to reduce speed to avoid a collision.... following to close, etc.

 

These statements tend to be true only when the vehicle being rear-ended is not in motion. Backing accidents are quite frequently the backer’s fault.


That said, it’s easier for a vehicle in forward motion to spot someone backing up into their lane. Personally, I will stop and wait 99% of the time for that reason, but that is courtesy not legal obligation.
