Noob Tuesdays

[Universe5812]

New to IH8MUD and the Land Cruiser scene in general, so apologies.

Backed my 80 Series into the garage today for the first time and accidentally bonked the garage wall at a coasting speed like a noob, hitch hit the wall. No damage besides the hitch, but wanted to see if there were any specific things I should look for damage-wise with the frame (Besides cracks) or if I don't need to worry at all. Thanks!

Forgot to add, did an initial glance check for any damage besides the hitch cover and didn't see any cracks.

Make an insurance claim…. I dare you.

Trailer hitch is attached directly to the frame. Check that the rails are true by measuring diagonally from two identical sets of points. Drive it like you stole it after that.

How about a picture of the damage? It’s unlikely the frame is damaged If you hit what ever going slowish.

So the wall wasn't damaged, but you think the frame of your vehicle might have been?

Nah, I think you're good.

Wall has a scuff (From the paint on the hitch cover) but no dent

This sure sounds like a kid was messing daddy's truck.

It's totaled. I'd be glad to junk it for you, Shoot me your number and I'll arrange someone to come pick it up. Good thing you didn't drive it after that serious damage. We got you, bud.

 

[MissahPapaJ]

You’re all good. If the tow hitch is bent visually I’d consider replacing it if you tow other than that maybe get that silly weather tech hitch bumper / step thing I’ll keep you safer when backing up at the mall

I suspect if you remove that hitch cover the absolute carnage will be more visible.

 

[MissahPapaJ]

This is turning into a roast and I'm here for it.
