    depends on your style.
    Or function over form.
    Dominators look a little funky to me, but they really go end to end.-My choice for function.
    hybrids are more traditional style.
    rock crushers are more boxed.

    You don't like white knuckle?

    Glad the damage was very minor, the only thing I enjoyed about the Prius I had for a little bit was nobody knew it was a Prius . It was a 2001 so it didn't look like a Prius more like a 4 door echo. I probably would've kept that thing just for saving some fuel during the week but the hybrid battery went out at 199k.

    yeah i asked her if she thought it was worth it? i told her shes lucky she hit me and not a motorcycle... i asked her "you know you could have killed someone today, you know that right? if that was a motorcycle?" she just nodded and tried to play the quiet female victim

    I 2nd the statement about motorcycles, heck the reason I don't have my sportster anymore is someone literally backed over it at McDonald's . Luckily I was inside eating.

    I like the white knuckle for over all coverage and mounting points. They also come in a HD version.

    Did you get any kind of proof or a witness? She can easily say you came into her lane and it’ll just be your word vs hers.

    so just go back from Demello Offroad. Went down there looked around, was able to touch and feel, they answered all my questions. I will definitely be getting some of their sliders in the very near future. :thumbsup:


    Maybe bumpers too... :notsure:

    WTF? Who is such an ass that they throw trash out the window? If you truck had been a little higher it might have had a environmentally beneficial IMPACT on that driver. :rolleyes:

    Minimal truck damage, sweet. Everybody gets to go home and hug their family, that’s the main thing.

    i have spoken to insurance and started a claim. i cant make her tell the truth so i'm not one to worry about things i cant control to we'll just have to wait and see.

    i did wash the truck today and after close examination i'm thinking a good detailer could get it out without repainting but i'm not sure.

    they have some good looking FJs and 4runners! they were very helpful too and showed me the shop. Had a nice Tacoma on the lift getting work done.

    After looking at them in person and talking to the guys that make them, i'm leaning toward the rock crushers but they all look great.

    in many cases evasive maneuvers are often worse than what you were trying to avoid.

    thank you @JoshuaA

    This is the main point we should all remember because our normal day can change in an instance. My tiny little accident is just that- tiny and the reason we have insurance. But like the video you posted, a simple drive home can turn deadly and I'm reminded to be right with my creator and right with my loved ones because things can change in an instance.

    My tundra is cool and being a part of this forum is fun but my family is my EVERYTHING and I'm thankful each day i get to come home to them.

    Especially these guys...

    I highly recommend pdr (paint less dent removal) if the dent wasn't terrible they can take out a lot. Luckily scratches aren't the biggest issue if your nail catches when going over the scratch it could be either touched up or painted over like stated.Another option is color sanding and buffing it.

    That sucks! Looks like your truck avoided major damage.

    My wife sideswiped someone while changing lanes at the same time in downtown Atlanta traffic some years back. I think they both went for the lane change at the same time but she was considered at fault. She didn’t think to take pictures of his car for our insurance, but he somehow had over $2k in damage while our Black Dodge Neon didn’t have so much as a scratch to buff out (still to this day think we got screwed by a shyster).
