for calling it. I just got word that the 4Runner is totaled. Still waiting for numbers on the payout. Right now I’m leaning hard towards keeping it. I’m going through my insurance now, but USAA (the other driver’s insurance) offered 3200 for buy back or 5200 if they kept it.
There’s some damage I didn’t notice when I looked at it after the accident. The hatch has a slight pinch in it, but I fine leaving it as is. The floor is buckled where the brackets attach (Also, why the hell does the bumper attached to the floor? Seems like a design flaw) but I assume I can bang that out. Looks like I need to replace two pieces of the front bumper and a good bit of the back.
I pulled the part #s from the estimate:
Front Bumper
Reinforcement 12 5202135020
Valance Panel 1d 5391135912
Rear Bumper
Face Bar 1a 5210535915

LT Mount arm 6 5201635020
Face Bar Seal 3 5259135010
Face Bar Seal 4 5259235010
Anyone got a lead on a front and rear bumper in Thundercloud? I got some time over the next two weekends and I’m not opposed to a road trip. Or would it be feasible to source of bumper of any color and pay to get it repainted?
Seems a real shame that this truck’s gonna have a salvaged title when I can fix it myself for a few hundred bucks and a good day’s work. I’d rather have had the other driver cut me a check for a grand and never gotten insurance involved in the first place.
