Muh chebby
Her car
Is that why I see chebbys with the step removed?
Mine isn't sagging and I love the chrome on it so I haven't taken it off
Reading for my exam tomorrow
Dried my tarp
Charged my battery
Nothing all too interesting, better than yours tho... tailgated?

>>13990553
Mobile fucking turning pictures. Sorry guys.
Looks like she was cringing at your stickers so hard that she lost control of her vehicle
>>13990559
Kek
Was stopped in traffic. She met me at 55 mph no brakes
>>13990548
Frame damage or did the bumper bolts just go?
>>13990573
Not sure yet. Had a Reese hitch and it looks to have taken the force of it. It wrapped the frame up with the hitch. But as far as the rest of the frame goes I'm not sure yet. Body shop to look at it on Monday
This is why steel bumpers rock. IV been rear ended 3 times with my s10 and I just left them to deal with their shit. Idgaf if they needed my insurance to file a claim. They are the ones who didn't stop.
>>13990548
>>13990553
The good news is your truck will be fixed.
The good news is that cunts car wont be fixed.
>>13990548
>chevy fag
>getting his shit pushed in
just an average week for chevy fags
>>13990548
I would use the insurance to install a flush mount bumper. Those look better.
>>13990707
>This is why steel bumpers rock.
All bumpers are steel.
>>13991085
Honestl was looking at roll pans a week ago lol. But bed is fucked too, so it's probably getting yanked off and a tube style truggy rear will be put on
>>13990548
Just out of curiosity, did your truck come with a factory trailer hitch?
>>13990548
>How is /o/'s weekend going?
None of your god damn business.
>>13991995
The previous owner had put a Reese hitch on it.
>>13990572
And it only did that?
So tell me why did they do away with metal bumpers again?
>>13991095
Uh no. Hers clearly wasnt.
Some asshole backed into my car and dented the hood and left a huge gash. Didn't even leave a note or anything, probably a Mexican. Feels bad
>>13992238
Uh, yes, they were. Why are you such an idiot?
>>13990548
Got the s10 running again, so breddy gud
>>13992248
To reiterate, and clarify since clearly this what you believe.
>9000 in paint
>>13992285
That's a bumper cover, you fucking moron.
>>13992300
>he actually believes this.
So this invisible bumper of yours is why her radiator mount, and lower subframe mounts AREN'T fucked to hell.
>>13992285
That isn't close to steel. Thats alllll plastic. The steel is held behind that plastic bumper, and its basically sheet metal.
>>13992285
>>13992300
This, your a retard. Bumpers are regulated entity and there all steel.
>>13992232
Because it can kill the cunt that blasted you in the rear at 55, so there isn't a good reason at all.
>>13992322
not that guy but that happened because the truck and car bumpers did not line up. American car makers are shitty at making bumpers line up for some reason with everyone else.
>tripfag running his mouth and has no idea what he's talking about
So what else is new?
>>13992340
Bullshit, tons of cars inner bumpers are plastic.
>>13992330
>and its basically sheet metal.
Well it's a 5mph bumper like every car in the US is mandated to have, so.
>>13992353
>>13992322
OP here I'm not in this argument lol. And I had even lowered my truck rear 2" be removing the factory blocks, and she still went under me.
>>13992390
>tons of cars inner bumpers are plastic.
Show me a single car with a plastic bumper. Not bumper COVER, but bumper.
>>13992363
>>13992340
You do realize that crumple zones have pretty much eliminated the need for bumpers?
And the bumper he's talking about it, is designed to deform in the way the trucks didn't, so they're not bumpers inasmuch as they're carefully designed subframes.
Cars do have plastic padding between the actual external bumper and the subframe to prevent damage under 5 mph, but the external bumper and the plastic padding are obviously not steel.
>>13992401
>And the bumper he's talking about it
samefagging works better if you take your trip off first
>>13992398
The bumper you see in pic related replaced the metal diving board bumpers that were on E30's prior to US standard being changed in 87.
Its all plastic but uses the same type shock mounts as the for diving board bumpers.
Women drivers, no survivors.
>>13992411
Aww he thinks I'd stoop so low to samefag.
>>13992398
1992 ford taurus. Not plastic but styrofoam.
Fucking STYROFOAM

Guess I asked for it by letting him test drive it without me in the car, but fucks sake, why the fuck aren't people honest. The person I bought this damn car from also tried to steal from me
>>13992428
>implying tripfags could possible stoop any lower
That's cute
>>13992429
That isn't styrofoam and it isn't the bumper. The bumper is behind it.
>>13992398
97 escort, 95 escort, 99 626, 01 intrepid, all of these had inner plastic bumpers
>>13992441
Its cute that you haven't work on cars before anon.
>>13992446
>>13992458
01 Grand Am with a fully plastic inner bumper as well
Bought my first drift car yesterday. Fucking exciting stuff. It's a 1993 E36 318i.
>>13992523
Nice, I've considered drifting in my 350z but then learned the base model has an open diff. Luckily it's not that hard to find a wrecked g35 here in norcal so I'll probably pick one up next year
>>13991095
>All bumpers are steel
uh, no. today most are plastic wrapped styrofoam; with a metal back plate if you're lucky.
>>13990555
sidesteps are typically aftermarket bruh
>>13992565
Bumper =/= bumper cover
>>13992582
we already went over this you fuck, many new cars have a completely plastic inner bumper
>>13992608
>many new cars have a completely plastic inner bumper
we're just being trolled now
>>13992627

>Has never worked on a car made after 87
sorry you only have your 80's shitbox to fuck around in.
>>13992032
Reason I ask is the factory hitch acts as a support for the bumper, and seeing it pushed down so far is a bit odd.
>>13992892
Well the way it hit, her engine hit my bumper, so it shoved it down. Underneath, the frame wrapped up but the hitch being there stopped it from being worse I'm guessing
