So last Friday after lunch, was on the way to a movie, When someone believed that they did not need to stop at a RED LIGHT!! I hit him.... and messed up my baby. All I can say is thank god for craigslist. Already bought a new bumper... way less than my deductable.





sorry for the big pics, but they show a litte better detail

 

glad you're ok. so all that got messed up was the bumper ?

 

Damn new cars and their plastic "bumpers..." Sweet work with finding the craigslist replacement though...

 

Uh oh! Time for an ARB!

 

hahah he's got a valid point...

 

Get the money from the insurance company and get a real bumper!!!!

ARB maybe?

 

deductible? you shouldnt even be talking to YOUR insurance

 

You could buff that out.

 

Thank God someone said it....more to the story perhaps?

 

Could be a good thing. Last March I was stopped at a stop light, behind another person that was stopped. Then they just backed into me as if they were going to backup and make a U turn. Damaged my stock bumper and valance. His insurance paid enough that I got front AND rear Warn Rockcrawler bumpers for just a little extra.

 

Yeah more to it... no one cared to stop and defend me, so of course the guy said he had a green light... even though I followed a guy into the intersection about 25 feet in front of me. So its down to the insurance companies to decide whats going to happen.


would love to put on some road armor or ARB but for $140 for the bumper on craigslist i couldn't pass that up. I'l save up a little longer and put one on this year.

 

Geez ... guess I'd better list my stock bumper on Craigslist ... got no need for it ...

 

poor little FJ

 

get a real bumper man, that way you could of been laughing at the guy you hit!!!!

 

Someone beat me to it, ya, x10 get a real bumper. I had a heavy off road bumper/brush guard on my 85 and when I T-boned a new camry they needed a flat bed tow truck (probably a total) and I drove home w/o even a scratch!

 

I only do light off-roading and actually like the multi-piece plastic bumpers. I've replaced all four corners at different times from tree encounters and they only cost something like $65/ea. and take under an hour to R&R.

 

plastic lots of plastic whats wrong with metal bumper.


So you get her fixed yet. and did you sue the crap out of the other guy how did that go ?
