Toyota Tundra Forum

On my way back from the dealership where I got my radio replaced and picked up my new sway bar, the interstate started to back up. So I slowed down carefully and then realized that traffic had almost stopped, so I got on the brakes. This 100yr old guy behind me in a Chevy 1500 that was probably as old as he was has the "Oh SNAP" look on his face and tries to jump into the left lane without hitting me. In the process of swerving, he takes another Tundra CrewCab into the median. Thankfully, both of the Tundra drivers involved were fine but I think the old guy is going to have to go home and change his Depends. This makes the 4th time that I've been rear-ended or nearly rear-ended in this truck... even after adding the 60' light bar under the tailgate.

My gosh imtfox, no wonder you nearly got rear-ended... with a 60' light bar across the back of your truck, you have got to stick out a bunch on each side of your truck!!! BTW, just kidding... I know you meant 60" not 60'.

Nice! I tried to make it 60' just so somebody would actually see me!!! The 60" one was too small...

The first time I got rear ended in my new truck I wrote it off to woman driver... the next two close calls were enough to make me check my taillights daily to make sure they were all working... this last one makes me think I need a neon flashing sign!

Hear that imtfox... my experience is over half the drivers you see at any given time are on a cell phone and don't see crap... so a neon flashing sign may not work either!

Make a hitch with giant orange spikes that point backwards. Maybe that will make them give more room behind you.

I hate it when 100 y o guys drive and text their betties

I was looking for a bull bar that I could modify to work in the trailer hitch receiver...

Then you damage your tailgate and hitch. Best to move! LOL

4 bolts for the hitch and the tailgate comes right off with no tools so that's much easier to fix... I could just keep a couple spares on hand and swap them out myself :P

Ok, I'm getting a little worried now... I almost got hit by a 4Runner yesterday... had to swerve to avoid. The day before that, it was an Exploder that ran me off the road. IT'S A GIANT RED TRUCK!!!! How do you miss that? This makes 1 time being hit and 4 near misses. Can someone show me where the "Stealth" switch is? I couldn't find it in the manual
