look at my 4runner now

Elton · 05-15-2006, 02:15 PM

well saturday was the last time i got to drive my 4runner ... i was on my way home from the store and i was going about 58mph when this drunk guy in his full size chevy pulled out in front of me ... and i barely even had time to hit the brakes before i hit the back of his truck sorry i didint get pics of his truck as it was impounded.....and get this the 4runner still drove almost 800 feet with the radiator shoved up against the pulleys and the bumper and valance smashed against the tire the fuse box and battery where where destroyed too .... my 4runner is totaled it was in perfect shape and had a new motor....in the 2nd pic that is engine oil so i think something is cracked and i spent most of friday waxing it

sad part is i only had this 4runner for about a week ........one more pic

Bassinfool · 05-15-2006, 02:19 PM

That's sickening. So sorry to hear that & see that kind of damage. Especially right after the new engine. Hopefully he was insured??

Elton · 05-15-2006, 02:22 PM

well the motor was already in the truck when i bought it not sure how many mile where on it but im sure it was only a few thousand he was insured through state farm

shiftless89 · 05-15-2006, 02:25 PM

that sucks. therer has been waaaay to many totaled yotas here lately, I think I'm going to drive the Tahoe for a while its easier to replace.

Glad your ok, did the drunk get hauled off? if so, get a lawyer imediatly! the slimiest greediest one you can find

drguitarum2005 · 05-15-2006, 02:26 PM

Sorry to hear aobut that dude, i hate that that has to happen to anyone. hopefully insurance covers everything and youll be back behind the wheel of a new 4runner soon enough...

curly_c · 05-15-2006, 02:27 PM

dude i feel so bad for you. i remember your thread about your new truck. this sucks man. i did the same thing. not anywhere near as bad but cost about 3000 bucks worth of damage. 2 days after i got mine i wrecked it so i know exactly how you feel. sorry to hear about this. i hope everything works out though. that was a nice runner too..

R.I.P 1991-2006. you will be missed

ps. damn drunk people. on a related note a drunk girl about 22 ran into my dads 86 runner going about 60 and caused 6000 dollars worth of damage. we fought and fought and we kept the truck and got it fixed. looks brand new now.

slosurfer · 05-15-2006, 02:32 PM

Oh man, sorry dude! I hope that guy gets what is coming to him. Hopefully you'll end up with something even better.

Elton · 05-15-2006, 02:32 PM

the drunk is in jail and is going to be there for awhile and he also got is license suspended

Godzilla · 05-15-2006, 02:37 PM

that was impact at 58mph?? holy crap that held up right good considering everything. sure does make driving these suckers comforting. but ya that sucks, they should let you kick him in the balls.

AH64ID · 05-15-2006, 02:39 PM

Sorry to hear that, hope you dont get raped by the insurance company.

Elton · 05-15-2006, 02:42 PM

yeah i hope i can even find a 4runner that year in that good of shape i like the look of the 91 alot better than lets say a 95

AH64ID · 05-15-2006, 02:45 PM

you could always buy it back, swap a motor in and go buggy with it

Elton · 05-15-2006, 02:46 PM

lol i could but i rather see what the insurance will give me

bigpest88 · 05-15-2006, 05:43 PM

Damn, That bites the big one...I hope everything get settled correctly....I know everyone is dying to ask this, so I will be the one to say it......Are you part it out? lol Sorry, I had to say it....I know everyone is wondering the samething...lol

ChickenLover · 05-15-2006, 05:59 PM

Man, that sucks. I hope you get it all squared away quickly.

Elton · 05-15-2006, 06:32 PM

im not sure how that works out i think its just going to the junkyard or someone might buy it from the insurance company every thing else on it is in perfect shape

PeanutRanger · 05-15-2006, 06:34 PM

I almsot crying for you man....

, I hoped everything gets squared away, and that bum stays in jail. Not only for wrecking your yota, but could have killed you and anyone that was in the car with you. It's one thing to drink, its one thing to drive. It's another thing to drink and drive.

Elton · 05-15-2006, 06:40 PM

i loved that 4runner the color was awesome and i liked the swing type tire carrier and the year i really dont like the looks of 92-95s 4runners

leebee · 05-15-2006, 06:56 PM

glad to hear you are ok, sucks about your rig. talk with your insurance company about replacing your truck on the other guys dime. you may want to talk with a lawyer to see if there is any recourse to recover depreciation towards a newer rig.

good luck, keep us posted.

Elton · 05-15-2006, 06:58 PM

that guys insurance is paying for it.... im alright but my neck is tweaked along with my back

ctcost · 05-15-2006, 07:30 PM

Elton · 05-15-2006, 07:32 PM
