Tundra down!

Hopefully not out!

Got rear ended/ side swiped at a stop light. I saw the guy in my rear view and let off the brakes and inched forward just before impact. Pretty certain he was trying to run, but he couldn't get his F150 to start. He definitely didn't get out to see if he hurt anyone. Luckily neither the wife or I, or him were hurt.
Already found out the great news that he probably isn't insured. So, that's cool.

I did drive it home as this happened less than a mile from our house, but the tweaked leaf spring I'm thinking isn't safe to be driving

 

That sucks. Glad no one is hurt. Hopefully it works out.

 

Sorry to hear this William. Glad to hear that you and your wife are okay. Hopefully it's not that bad of a fix.

 

Thanks, luckily I have insurance, but, it's always fun paying for everyone else's stupidity.

 

Thanks, I hope it isn't anything major, too. Not exactly like they make these trucks anymore

 

Glad you're ok - but thats a new bed and bumper.

 

Uninsured drivers. That makes my blood boil. Glad you are OK and have no problems later.

 

@BillyB that sucks! Did you and the wife get checked out to make sure you're both ok? I know that the adrenaline of an accident can mask things and most everybody that isn't severely injured always thinks everything is fine, but then a few days later some symptoms can pop up. I had a coworker who felt fine and actually have a couple broken vertebrae, but it was a waaaaay worse impact than what yours appears to be.

I'd have them focus on the rear axle and everything it touches. To pop that spring I'm guessing that tire was hit pretty solid, and it rebounded back. Your wheel cap is gone too. That might be new shocks, springs, possibly even the diff and line into it.

 

Damnit billy! Glad you and the wife were ok!

 

My body is already all messed up from years of motocross, so I wouldn't notice any more/new damage anyway, haha.
The wife asked me if that guy hit us. The impact in the truck wasn't all that severe. Me seeing him coming and inching forward helped the impact a bunch.

Yeah, it's definitely going to have to be thoroughly inspected. It did seem to drive home just fine, though. But, yeah, there was obviously some tension put on that leaf spring.

 

Thanks! Hopefully it'll be all fixed up for Sedona

 

I didn't get the official word yet, but when I contacted his insurance they said there MIGHT be a coverage issue.

 

Damn dude. That’s shitty. Glad you and the wife are okay though. And that the piece of shit couldn’t drive off.

 

Ouch!

Hope all is well medically and mechanically speaking....

Here in S TX, uninsured motorist coverage is a MUST.

 

Old F150's aren't so good for hit and runs apparently

 

Worst case, I’ve got a set of factory leaves and shackles you’re welcome to if you end up needing them. I’m here in AZ as well.


I even have a double cab Chase bed and fiberglass bedsides if you’re feeling frisky.

 

Oh, awesome, I couldn't remember if Precision had a body shop. I'm glad you mentioned it, that's were I will be taking it.

 

Damn. Still, to get OEM and quality work, I'd say it'd be worth it.

 

Thanks for the offer. I'm sure they'll cover new ones, and my shackles are Toytec. From my naked eye, they SEEM to be okay.
I'd love to use the chase bed, but then I'd end up having to build a race truck. And I'd be broke, haha

 

Oh, that's not good. I'm already going to be paying for this rental truck out of pocket

 

I have it, but still have to pay the deductible. And I just went and got a rental that's going to be out of pocket

 

Damn. If he's got ins, they need to cover that!

 

Sorry @BillyB! That sucks. Glad you’re all okay.

If you need a lawyer I know a guy.

 

Just curious, do bicyclists need insurance in AZ? Hahah

 

Damn. Hahah

 

We called Precision the first week of August and they were 2-3 months out at that time. We ended up using Spectrum on Ina because I couldn’t stand to see a crumpled fender that long.
