my wifes 04 prerunner got nail in the ass an hour ago by some fuckstick rubber neckin at a cop who had someone pulled over. tore the back end up bad. this really sucks ,and the worst part is the truck only has 15k on it. anyway just thought id share . later guys.

 

[96Toy]

Thats sucks the big one man, Hope the other dood is gonna pay for it thru the arse.

 

[yotoder]

oh yeah its already in the works as of 7this morning. the worst part is he was in a 500 hundred dollar 1988 sio.

 

[absolut taco]

I feel your pain, man. I had less than 3,000 miles on mine going up a snowy canyon to a ski resort when a kid in an Audi coming the other way lost control and slid backwards into the side of my truck. Only dented the panel between the driver's side door and the bed. Did about $1,000 of damage which his family paid. Fucking sucked to be Tacoless for a week while it was in the body shop!

 

[yotoder]

yeah my wife has to get a rental car and shes not at all happy about it. me either. later guys

 

[tenntaco]

I must be crazy or something. As long as no one was injured and the other guy was insured, I'd be pretty happy about getting rearended. Free custom bumper :xrocker:

 

[yotoder]

more to it than a bumper and my wife is not into all that its her truck. my 98 is a diffrent story and were not happy about a truck with 15k getting rearended so id say your probly crazy

 

[surfpunk]

dont get me wrong, thats a bummer and id be pissed too... just be happy that no one got hurt and youre not getting fucked over by an uninsured POS... this should show you how unpredictable something serious can happen, and how quickly without warning it could happen. what if they were rubbernecking coming the opposite direction, and went into your lane head on? like i said, i understand it sucks, but i think youre worrying too much about little things, when you should be glad it was so minor just my .02

 

[yotoder]

your right and i am glad we didnt get hurt but what pisses me off is some stupid son of a bitch that wasnt paying attention to the damn road and hit our new truck we work hard to pay for and maintain.

Ok, no one was hurt, right? cool. Now, get a figure for OE bumper replacement from the other guy's ins. carrier. collect the check. get a cool Demello (or whatever) rear bumper for your '98 and stick your old bumper on the '04.

Getting hit sucks

Two years I was sitting mind my own business at a signalled 4 way when I was the third vehicle hit in a cross-intersection "accident". The bitch who ran a red left-turn arrow (with two kids in the backseat) claimed chinese discrimination, and never even disclosed that I was there or got hit when she did her telephone interview with the insurance company.

Shit happens, but never should to your truck. Sorry man, but you're right for being pissed. You got hosed this morning.

 

[jwbronco]

Well I know whats it like to get mad. I came out about a month and half ago to my truck with a dented passenger door with the paint scraped off it. My truck wasn't even to 7k yet. Worst of all it was a hit and run and in Florida I still have to pay my deductible even though I wasn't even there, $500 for someone else's doing.

 

[Gad]

i hate drive offs. i backed into some old fella about 2 years ago. i could have left, but my conscience got to me. i waited for an hour and a half outside for the guy to tell him. hopefully, if someone backs into me, they will do the same. also, from what i hear, rubbernecking is a big pass-time these days.

 

[yotoder]

yeah pepple like to rubber neck. and there is a lot more damage than just the bumper. bumper tailgate tail lights bed ic crooked cab damage exhaust damage and thats just what i can see. he knocked the shit out of us.

 

[d33pt]

your frame might be bent if the bed is crooked. Did the bed hit the cab? I got rear ended 3 months ago by an uninsured motorist. It bent my right frame rail about 1" down. In doing so, the whole bed shifted and was all tweaked. Now my truck is probably pretty weak. I didn't repair the frame damage. Look carefully at your truck before you deal with the insurance adjusters. It's alot easier to get paid for it the first time, than to do a supplemental payment.

 

[yotoder]

yep bed hit cab

 

[toyguy]

frame alignment

when I got hit, this was a focus of mine too. Collision repair technology is such that there are frame alignment machines aplenty out there.

Do some measurements yourself (I did), and if those measurements support a frame alignment check, provide your findings in writing, and your adjuster will have a difficult time denying that service. Just be courteous but firm.

Maybe I got lucky and had a good adjuster, but I was pleasantly surprised at how in tune my adjuster was to people who loved their vehicles and wanted them fixed right.

 

[yotoder]

im gonna do just what you pointed out.

 

[jdiesel]

I with tenn taco and the others.. as far as the bumper, get aftermarket and put it on yours and put yours on hers! sweet deal, but sucks at the same time.

 

[yotoder]

she wont go for any of that i tried.
