look at my 4runner now
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

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.

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

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.

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.
