Then just go ahead and coat it all with bedliner spray. You can do that yourself and its a lot more durable if you prep everything beforehand.

 

Just don't do what I did.
I just wiped it down, then two coast of selt etching primer and one coat of matte black. Looks like ass. But I'll do more black coats eventually. Still beats the rusty roof look.

 

I just ordered and installed this, it fit perfect, was chrome mirror glass like it should be, and after gently taking the old glass off was a 10 min install.

That $80 must have been the whole assembly?

 

It was all OEM through Toyota. $80 was just the glass alone.

 

they would have to hold a gun to my head, so at least I would feel better while they robbed me. that's insane.
Maybe the heated ones are a bit more, but my God man.

 

I'm telling you. Parts are absurd.

New Camry headlamp assemblies are $2000

 

Hit a doe sat morning, among other things, month old 2025 High LTD head lamp assem....

 

That’s why you have insurance.

 

And you'll need pre-collision calibrations too. New cars are expensive as hell to fix.

 

I havent spent anything on my deer strike, looks like i can justify a couple of fancy bumpers.

 

I remember when a square replacement glass headlight cost something like $30 to replace back in the 80s. The insanity.

 

Thanks for that info....I'll definitely inquire about that.

 

I spent about $550 fixing my deer strike damage to the front. New bumper and fogs, new grille. Have not repaired my T-bone deer damage, was quoted $5700 by a body shop, and they recommended totaling the vehicle. F that.

 

Hey quick question if anyone knows. Is it worth it to adjust camber by eye just to get it better for the alignment shop? I have to drive about 30 miles to the alignment shop and my tires just from driving two days back and forth to work are getting pretty worn towards the inside of the tire. I just don’t want to have finally fixed all the front end issues and end up needing new tires.

 

It’s usually toe that causes wear like that

 

I don’t know what exactly to call it but I’m sure I could figure out a level wheel

 

No problem. Ask me anything if you have any questions about the estimate or whatever. I got your back

 

Someone randomly liked this post from 2022 so I figured I'd give an update. I hammered this wheel back to normal back then and three years later it's still holding air just fine.

 

That's called patina. Leave it alone.



That pic is old. The hood is completely free of clear now.

 

Yup. Iremember buying new headlights for my dodge ram d50 back in high school whenever the bulbs burnt out.

 

To celebrate my bday, go buy something you dont need, i’d prefer it be something for your truck, or tools, but its your money, buy what you want. I’m gonna wander around tractor supply & see if anything jumps out at me.

 

I'll celebrate by making some rice tonight.

 

Heck yea, gonna use the big wok gas burner thing?

 

Hmmm, I could try it out and season my new wok.

 

Dont burn your house down.
