It's first blemish

[Deadly_Scionide]

Was chopping fire wood, and drug a tree across the field as usual, but I leapt before I looked and backed into a branch that wasn't visible. The backup sensors didn't go off, I'm assuming that it was too small of an obstacle to detect. Such a bummer, almost made it a year without a single mark. My body shop guy said he could plastic weld it with some special laminate and make it disappear for me. I'll let ya know what comes of my $544 mistake. Ugh.

Yeah that's a pretty good first one, sorry man. I'm curious to see the plasti-weld results. I'm assuming that $ covers fill and repaint? OT: Where in NE Ohio are you from? I'm originally from Akron/Medina.

It includes fill and a full bumper repaint and clear. At least it'll be super shiny! Ha!

I'm from the Dover/New Phila area, out in the boonies

That put in your stomach when you hear the "crunch" is the WORST.

Did you get a price on a full bumper replacement? I was quoted $1200 CDN all in for a replacement on a TE. Not sure if it's cheaper down there. I know it's easier to say than to pay, but if the replacement isn't too much more it's worth considering.

Flimsy sheet metal just ripped. That's crap.

Come back to Philly and I'll hook you up with a bumper lane:

That Sucks !

Maybe make a hole on the other side and wire some Rigid lights in there.

Full price was another $250-300, and at some point I'd like to get new bumpers. So I'm going to see how the plasti-weld goes, and save the cash for the steel bumper upgrade.

The 4Runner back bumper on a 5th gen is plastic unfortunately

I don't live in the real Phila, I live in New Philadelphia, the Ohio version

That Sucks !
