Hell, if the frame is still straight and the alignment good, run it. Perhaps pound it out by hand and keep on going.

Find an auto recycler to get a bumper and hammer out the rest. Real bummer but you should be able to keep it running.

Did you see the TopGear episodes about the indestructible Toyota pickup?
This car can take much more of a beating.

Yes I did!

The drive train seems good and there is only some minor rubbing from the front right if I brake hard. I could pull some dents and be happy, especially if I could get some $$$ out of it. Searching on cars.com, ebay motors, etc... most examples of 96-2000 Tacomas like mine seem to be selling for $4,000+. I would be happy to take $2500 and fix it myself
