Hey look what happened to my 4runner!

Post by Imprezive »

So a few weeks ago a lady on drugs decided she wanted to make an illegal left hand turn through an intersection in front of me right as I was entering said intersection. Lifted trucks with 35" tires don't maneuver too well.

^^pic's of the truck once it was towed to my sister's

So I hit her and rolled 1.25 times and also spun 180 degrees landing on the driver-side.

The real kicker was my rear differential had a whine so at the time I was blasting some House techno music to drown out the sound. The battery didn't get disconnected so after the truck came to a rest all I could hear was broken glass and "UHHNNN TSSS UHNNN TSSS".

I'm fine btw.

Looks like it was a sweet 4runner, too bad that happened. I'm with kimo on seeing if you can fix it, I think its too sweet to leave as dead.

haha no salvaging isn't really an options. The cab and frame are twisted, impact made it all the way through the front left subframe and tore through the oil pan.

That's too bad, but at least you're alright. I used to love the old Toyota and Nissan trucks from that era. Not mny around anymore, at least not in NE.

Glad to hear you're alright. I liked those 89 4-runners. There was an upperclassman in high school that one that was pimped out. It looked good....even though it never went off road.

BTW, I laughed at your comment below :lol:

It's always a little surreal when you get in an accident that doesn't shut down your car. After the adrenaline rush and the violence, you're left with your tunes and a heap.
