I let my wife drive my 4runner and......

[sierra_summits]

She bashed my bumper on a pole in the parking lot! Actually tore off a chunk of the powder coat down to bare metal. Last time she gits to drive it. Anywho, luckily she is ok but now i need to fix it. Should i just spray paint it flat black and b done with it or is there a better way?

Awww man that sucks. But as most people on the forum would say, this thread is worthless without pics

Did she hit the front or rear bumper? And x2 for pics...

:worthless

Haha....that's why my wife drives the 4runner and not the S6

 

[rayjay]

haha glad she is ok. But indeed this is why my wife currently drives a jeep, and will soon be in a 4runner instead of my car.

 

[Hepar]

Ouchie. Definitely post some pics when you can.

Well, that depends on what your wife looks like. Lol. I know I was talking about the bumper.

He does have an ARB, so I'm sure no major damage. That sucks though Sierra. I always get worried when my fiance drives my 4runner. She's a good driver, but still can't help but worry.

That sucks. My girl is the only person I trust to drive my runner and that's because I know that she knows that I care almost as much about it as I do about her.

I'd just paint it and be done, unless of course it is going to bother you every time you look at it.

Hey Hepar,
What kind of gas milage do you get with those 265/75R16 BGF AT's? .I'm thinking of changing out mine.

I just let my gf borrom my rig to drive to her families place over the mountains and I made a comment that when she drove away that I felt like Han Solo leaving the Millennium Falcon.

Total crap. I love the AT's, but at E load they suck compared to my previous C load AT's. Honestly, I can't wait to replace them. Wish they would make them in a lighter load rating again.

Nice, I had to watch my fiance drive off with my 4runner right when I got home from buying it. My dad had the great idea to suggest her taking it out to meet up with her friends literally 5 minutes after I got home. I struggled handing the keys over and sat at the front door step like a dog waiting for it's owner to get home.

At least you can score points by checking up on here now and again to make sure she's ok. :thumb3:

painted it with some wheel paint

well to follow up on the thread i just said f@#k it, and painted it today. i really dont like my bumper anyways. the the least amount of time and money into it the better.

 

[Maritimer]

It just adds character to the truck.

I bought our 4Runner instead of a car because I want something safe for her to drive in. Yeah, she dented my bumper, but she'll never get stuck in snow and has a great amount of steel protecting her.
