I Jackknifed my truck and ruined my back bumper... Not cool... I had just pulled an S10-blazer 20 miles on a 18 foot flat bed and all that went fine... then this happens...

when we were backing the blazer off the trailer (dead fuel pump) It picked up the back of the truck.... (A little poo may have come out)..

Now I have to file my first insurance claim... I'm trying to find out if my comprehensive will cover it since it was my own fault.. my deductible is only $100 for comp... $250 for collision... i may do it either way cause I'm not gonna look at that every day.... it also knocked loose one of my exhaust pipes.

Fail....

 

I have a back bumper that I would part with cheap, but you'd have to come pick it up. Say $75.

 

Where's the pics?

 

.... Ill give you pics.....

 

If its only the bumper, Just buy a new one yourself. Dont need those rates going up.

 

Got to see how bad. Like Reject says, dont report it if you dont have to.

 

im hoping they wont... its my first claim... but i may just get a new bumper... Its the paint and the exhaust too.

 

The paint you can get from imatchpaint.com. The guy will match your paint with DuPont paint in a rattle can and get his clearcoat also. No more than 10 mins. between coats and will match perfect. (because it's DuPont paint) Cost you about $50, but it will match cause it's dupont not Krylon,etc. $50 for paint + $75 for Dragons bumper = $125, Muffler shop shouldn't cost much to re-hang pipe. So, $25 plus muffler shop over the cost of the deductable that you'll have to pay anyway...

 

Hell, You could even get the bumper done in bed-liner, then its durable. Thats what I did with mine. Didnt like the Gray ST color. I also did the plastic, but that has peeled off. Never using Dupli-color Bed Armour Again. It also peeled off the bumper before I got it on the truck, So I had to redo it with other stuff.
If I can find a bumper cheap (I missed out of one that went for $60, Altho it was Yellow) I plan to have the plastic removed, and a Diamond plate top made then bedliner it.

After: (Also installed Tail covers)

 

This is why I stay away from Chevy's. Can't even tow em without problems.
