Nah, on the back bumper. That way it serves as a warning to those who are paying attention, and food for thought for those who get to wait for the fire department to cut them out.

Yes it is my first confirm kill and actually my friend and I already had an idea of getting a decal made inspired by this accident. Well he thought about it at the scene while we were dealing with the claims but didn't say anything until I thought about it about an hour and a half later but we have a friend that can make decals and we both thought about having him make one that says "Kia Killer". Random thought, don't know if I'll really get it, lol.

Glad no one was hurt!
I think it improved the KIA's looks lol
Yea one of my first comments to my friend when things settled down was that I'm glad I drive a truck, lol.

Think the kia sillohette with a line through it below the drivers window would be priceless.

Always keep my wt distribution hitch in the reciever of my 2500. Any small car rear ends me & they will get their 4cylinder mtr cracked in 1/2 & a free tow till I floor it lmao

I love it when the other guy has the crumble zones.

Thinking some more on it, I think it'd be wicked to have the silhouettes etched into the rear window. I might just do that if/when my truck gets rear-ended.

I am seriously not afraid of getting rear ended by cars anymore because it felt like a little kid pushed me from behind. The damage to the truck was just some paint from their hood rubbing on the tailgate and the bumper was pushed down a little, gained 2 more dents and some red paint. The trailer hitch took the brunt of the impact which for it was just some added red paint but nothing else. The car on the other hand...well I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. Thankfully no one was hurt especially the dudes wife who is 6 months pregnant. She was pretty cool, the dude was in shock for awhile, it was entertaining. My friend and I kept on cracking jokes about it as time went on, we thought it was kinda funny since very little damage was done to my truck.

But enough talk, here's pictures.



If it weren't for the thread title and this picture I wouldn't have been able to tell you got rear ended.
Glad to hear everyone is ok. Welll.....at least you, your truck, and the humans in the Kia.

Just curious, what kind of shape is the trailer hitch in??

That's why I always keep my hitch in too.
I've thought about making a hitch with like a 1-2' long spike in it to make sure it'd hit the block of the car that hits me but I was told that it wouldn't be a good idea for some reason.
