Kaboom! (Wrecked Runner Build!)

Well I was drivin along mindin my own business, coming back from lunch, heading back to my Automotive class at the local community college.
Next thing I know, BOOM! The blue Aveo ran a stop sign, t-boned me on the passenger side, we went through the air and landed on the Caravan. If the Caravan wasnt there we probably woulda rolled. (10 psi in 37" TSLs)
Was a crazy adventure. Damage looked like mostly leafs springs plus some body damage. We'll see if the rear housing is bent.
Anyway, onto the pics.

That doesn't look too bad. The last time I saw a rig get T-boned it was JACKED!!!

Noticed the rear drive line dropped out, might have to get the tranny/tcase mounts looked at/replaced.

Keep us informed and be sure to go see a doctor. The day after a wreck is always the most painful for the body.


edit. Yota 2, others 0.....

The wreck occurred almost a month ago, I waited for the insurance to settle before I posted any pictures. However the auto claim is settled, the medical is not, so I'll choose not to reveal any information publically, but I'll let you know I can still surf yotatech so its not so bad!

Is that SASed? Or are you running 37's on IFS?

And at least you're okay right! Trucks can be fixed easier than bones and other body parts.

He's definitely IFS... you can see the droop of the LCA in the first picture. Whoa 37s on IFS? crazy crazy. i feel for your Idler arm lol

and thats some toyota quality for you... owned the two other vehicles... looks like all you'll need is some dent removing and some rear axle, transmission / transfer case inspections and a new drive shaft.

Q: What do I do now?
A: Drop it in 4 lo and drive over the Aveo.

Sucks dude, hope it's not un-fixable. (though, it doesn't look bad.

Yessir IFS!
I got too excited. Got my 37s before I had all my SAS stuff together, so I said screw it
Cranked torsion bars, BJ spacers, cut fenders and they fit.
SAS is in progress right now, I'll throw some pix up later.
