: Rear-ended = Sweet new bumper!
IZVERG 11-19-2008, 11:43 AM I was rear-ended on my way to the hospital the other day to start my physical therapy from my bi-lateral hip surgery. Sucked, but hey, we both walked away okay. Just got the damage estimated and it looks like his insurance co. will be paying for my new rear bumper! Went w/ Ken. Mtn. Accessories and their rear multi-carrier swing-away bumper. I will be the first second gen. Xterra to have one, even cooler!
My damage:

Keyz18 11-19-2008, 11:47 AM Looks like he went under your rear end.
Glad you're alright!
Roryo513 11-19-2008, 11:47 AM I am glad you guys are alright, looks like the other car didn't turn out as well...
you lucky he didn't just gun it, at least he had insurance.
Good luck with the bumper, I cant wait to see it!
EYEGUY05 11-19-2008, 11:47 AM good deal. looks like he took the brunt of the damage...make sure youpost up some pics when you get the new bumper installed
Glad you both walked away. Did any of your airbags go off?
Looking at those pics, wow. Your X has a little bumper rash but his car is done.
Will be interested to see your new bumper setup.
IZVERG 11-19-2008, 11:51 AM Yeah, I had some new pain in my hip from the impact but nothing major. My bumper should be here within 3-5 weeks, will def post up pics of the new product!
TN4x4Xterra 11-19-2008, 12:10 PM Glad to see nobody was hurt.
He couldn't have gunned it since if you look in the pic closely, he's got busted radiator.
Looking forward to the pics of the carrier.
IZVERG 11-19-2008, 12:34 PM Oh, and not airbags deployed on my end.
glazener24 11-19-2008, 03:15 PM I wish some one would rear end me... :(
IZVERG 11-19-2008, 03:47 PM I wish some one would rear end me... :(
I've been thinking that ever since I arrived in this highway-death-trap-of-a-city three years ago... just stay on it;)
NateDawgG 11-19-2008, 07:25 PM I wish some one would rear end me... :(
Be careful what you wish for......... ;)
Roryo513 11-19-2008, 07:29 PM A tree rear ended me once...
but the bastard got away, and he didn't have insurance

You can't leave me/us hanging like that - what happened? They refused service to you?

IZVERG 03-01-2009, 09:24 AM It's on! Need to get some extra lug nuts before I can put the spare on. Other than the stock bolts being a PITA to get off, the install was very simple.

There was no hole or even markings for this retainer pin thingy for the spare holder. Luckily the guy's place we were installing this at had a drill press.

More to come once I get the LED's installed and the spare on. Sweetness!!!
Roryo513 03-01-2009, 11:13 AM Damn it! I hate you! You are getting all the goodies on your X, and your leaving us (specifically me) over here drooling. What gives?
That rear bumper looks beast btw. Write us a review after a week, and now seriously, how much did it run you?
dezurtrat 03-01-2009, 11:37 AM WOW, that is nice!!!
greentennx 03-01-2009, 04:22 PM Man I need one! Looks good.
IZVERG 03-01-2009, 08:27 PM Got the lights in!

aznboihoy03 03-01-2009, 08:50 PM nice, good thing everyone ok :D
Sweet dude!
At first I saw the corner plastic stuff in, and thought it was a 1st gen and I wondered how you got the bumper off with those on there lol.
Jmac289GT 04-28-2009, 03:50 PM That is a kool looking bumper, I really do like it too.
That was a good purchase!!
IZVERG 04-28-2009, 03:59 PM No doubt! Especially since insurance paid all but ~$40. Mmmmm, LED's!
X_X_X 04-28-2009, 04:47 PM Nice!
williambelk587 04-28-2009, 06:30 PM Looks great. I am praying someone hits me soon or I might have to back into a light pole.
CristofoliniX 04-28-2009, 08:24 PM where are the pics of the LED's???

json3904 04-28-2009, 08:31 PM looking good...
CristofoliniX 04-28-2009, 08:33 PM nice! I wanted to do basically the same thing with a set of red LED trailer brake lights and mount them in my oem bumper... I have the red rear turn signals LED's. I should continue and replace all of them...
