Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I’ve never thought of a dash cam but this is making me want to get one.

In other news these showed up for the Tundra today. Don’t know if anyone else has tried them but going to see how they do.

 

I probably need to add these to all our rigs. Frick

 

Let us know what you decide on the dash cam.

Interesting wipers. Definitely let us know how they work for you.

 

Yikes
Good thing here - Mr. Asshat Douche got arrested for DUI so fault is pretty well established (they were also citing him for failure to stop for the red light).
Shitty thing - neither insurance company will do shit until the police report is available…which could be 1-2 weeks. It’s not the first time we’ve had to play this game - I just hate having to do it. We’ll fight to get as much payout as we can for the car, and in the meantime we’re likely going to upgrade the wife and give my daughter the “hand me down”

 

Makes three of us. Grew up in the town where @LarryDangerfield lives.

 

You don't have to fight. That's what your insurance is for. You pay them to handle this stuff, so tell them what you'll accept for the car and tell them to figure it out with the other company.

 

I’m anal with hiding wiring so I’ll have to research quite a bit before I pull the trigger on one.

Here are some more close ups of the blades. Not anymore expensive than anything else out there.

 

So scrubby!
Can't wait for the full review

 

That's why I like the little Garmin mini and the harness. It's all up behind the mirror.


Interesting blades. Have to see if it's just for looks, or if it works.

 

Yeah
It’s never been that simple.
It has always required me to suit up and do battle. I have never had a pleasant experience dealing with an insurance claim.
Auto. Homeowners. Medical. Dental. There’s only one thing they are interested in…and it sure as fuck isn’t making me “whole”

 

Thanks for the recommendation on the cam.

I follow a local guy on IG that swears by them so thought I’d give them a shot. I’m sure they will work out great initially but will see if the last like other brands. The Bosh winter ones that I put in lasted a good 9 months.

 

Why did garbage pickup occur last Monday but not today?

 

Are you using the Donger harness?

 

I don't have a camera yet. I plan to, though.

 

Do you go through a broker?

 

At least you sat it out! I’m not taking any chances and putting mine out tonight since it is normally on Tuesdays but may be Wednesday since today is technically a holiday.

 

Just to keep you on your toes!

 

No.
Might look into it at some point.
Yet another thing to pay someone to do…

 

That sucks, Casey. Do you feel comfortable sharing your insurance company's name?

 

Currently - Allstate. We switched to them in 2017. I carry homeowners, earthquake (required), auto for four people, and an umbrella policy (required for my work vehicle stipend) through them.

But we’ll probably start looking for something else. Between when I hit the deer last year and how this has gone so far, I’m not super pleased with their whole process.

 

I'd suggest looking at Progressive. They've always been super polite and helpful for me, but I've also never had anything near the magnitude of what you are dealing with. They also beat the rate of everyone else I test prices with by a significant margin.

 

I had Allstate until after that accident. Went elsewhere when I learned I was overpaying and had lackluster service throughout that claim.

 

The dongar harness is slick, I used one in our Highlander with a Vantrue camera. Have an integrated Kenwood camera with my Excelon head unit in my Tundra that works great, but it’s all hardwired into the main harness.

 

Just looked them up. They are slick! I need to go look at the mirror in my old girl and see if one of them will work.

 

Just my 2 cents;

You know what I went through after that Jerk Ian hit Florida and The Hartford had Con's car towed and claim settled before I could even get

the 2nd adjuster to come see the house

 

Smart alec , we "Pay to throw" here and since I have a Full Grown pick-up , all shrubbery and plant material will be in Tundy's bed while it

earns its keep

 

Guilty as charged. Lol


It's a good plan to make use of the truck.
