Tree branch

i had a decent sized tree branch land on my baby last night.

 

That absolutely sucks.....sorry to see that

 

That sucks. Is the damage limited to the bed? That would be good.

Sorry it happened.

 

Yeah it’s just the bed

 

Dauumm!!! That branch is bigger than a lot of trees!!! Looks drive-able, I would be sick as well

OP, Curious - What is this???

 

So I had the huge branch resting on my bed and I had that branch that you circled resting on the roof. The good thing is that branch did not dent anything on the roof.

 

Sorry to see that...where are you located? Wind, storm?.

 

Looks like a smaller branch ripped off all weird. It looks all ufo-y but it's just the tree.

 

That sucks! Decent sized limb. I'd be a bit sick..

 

Thought it was tree material but looks very odd in pic for sure, UFO-Y or "Photo-shopped".....

 

Yeah the big branch fell and ripped off that smaller branch which was also decent size but did nothing that I could see. I need to clean all the wood chips off from chainsawing that shit off my truck.

 

I feel for ya, I woke to this a couple of years ago. Ripped off both side mirrors and dented just about everything but the tailgate. Insurance paid out $10k to fix everything.

 

Weird things happen, it sucks. I had a wild turkey fly out of the median while driving on the interstate while driving my 2000 Tundra. Was doing 75 in pretty heavy traffic so I couldn't do too much to evade it. Luckily it flew just above the grille and slid up the hood. I ripped both wipers off the truck and smashed the windshield. Being 100 miles from home on a Sunday afternoon I had to pull into a Staples and buy clear tape to keep small pieces of glass coming off into my face. Almost made it home before rain hit forcing me to sit on the side of the road for almost 2 hours. Just be thankful it was your truck, not you, that took the hit.

 

May you have a speedy repair.

 

0 deductible would be nice I am at $500 which sucks donkey dick.

 

New bed, new paint, good to go.

 

I know what I would do.

 

Lol I was chainsawing at 4 in the morning. I wonder what my neighbors were thinking.

 

That really sucks man !!
Hope something better comes out of the whole deal

I just had a tree fall on my garage were I park my tundra- lucky no roof damage
Did occur a little damage to gutter when I pulled on last section with ATV while my buddy was cutting it off

Now I want to cut them ALL down !

 

I don't carry it at all, I saved about $20k in last 15 years because of that, this is good chunk of money. My insurance wanted extra $110 per month for full coverage, I have decided to put it on savings account instead and keep liability only. So far so good, saved enough to replace my tundra if something happen to it. But so far I'm in luck... it is not for everyone but works for me

 

That's a good deal, I'm paying $160 for 4 vehicles liability insurance ( double state minimum plus uninsured motorist coverage) I'm in Alaska, insurance here is more expensive for some reason, especially for trucks. Anyways I hope OP is covered and will get his truck fixed soon

 

Got an estimate and it’s $1,100. They will straighten it somehow and repaint it.

 

Insurance company favorite cocktail..

 

I bet they just replace whole side of the bed with a new big piece, no filler. They should, at least. How does the inside of the bed look?

 

Flatbed all the way

 

Flat bed will tank resale value, not a lot of people would buy flat bed truck

 

I would've bought a flatbed tundra, more room for the dirtbikes

 

For sure, but for some of us 6x8 UTILITY trailer will do same trick without messing with truck bed
Or pulling travel trailer/ toyhaller with space for dirt bike in it

 

I think the inside is good the guy at the body shop says they will put a piece of steel in there and somehow lift it to straighten things out. This same shop fixed my rusted out rocker on my Jetta and they did a great job.
