well i was driving to a friends house tonight and turned left onto his street not seeing a huge patch of ice. i stepped on the brakes and slid right into a 1984 mercedes benz. the mercedes is totalled and my front end doesnt look too good. i had maybe half the amount of bolts that i shoulda had in the tjm bumper so it didnt help much (some bolt holes didnt match quite up cuz my frame was a little tweaked to begin with). its going to be ruled as a no fault but the cop basically told the person that they were the smartest person in the world for parking right there on the other side of that ice. people that lived in the area said they had almost hit the same car. i guess i was the unlucky one. i'll try to put some pics up tomorrow

That sucks ass man... sorry to hear it... Glad you're alright though! Is your insurance going to cover your vehicle?

Ugh, I'm just waiting to nail the car at the end of my street. Sorry to hear about that.

What parts do you need?

yotafool

no, i only have liability so im screwed. i dunno what im gonna do. i go to marine corps boot camp in may anyways. i dont know what parts im gonna need, its really cold outside and i think ill be sick if i go out and look at it anymore.

Yoter

Well I know of a guy on the board that was talking about selling me a bunch of front parts for a 2nd gen 4runner. I think I can get a hold of them for a good price and help you out with a deal. When you feel like looking at your rig you let me and the rest of the board know what you need/want and I aswell as others will help you out. If you want the help.

Sorry to hear about the wreck...I know what it feels like. Good luck with the repairs, and you may as well want to move down South, no ice here! Go Marines!

Dang man, really sorry to hear. Does your truck still run? Hope it's not too bad. I have some front end stuff but it is all the older style from my 91' so I don't know if it will do you any good. Hopefully you will get some cash from boot camp and whatnot to fix it.

yotafool

well looking at it today in the daylight, its not too bad. not pretty but not too bad. my friend took some pics last night and i'll try to get them up. it also runs fine (knock on wood)

4Runner 4Play

Ouch man.... sorry to hear about your misfortune. At least she's still running and you are ok. Well maybe not so much your mind, but try not too worry too much (I know... easier said than done) Just remember... any time a problem happens.... oppertunity knocks. I sunk my '93 runner 6 months after getting her. blew the engine to the moon and back.... but hey! I've an awesome new engine now!!


Stupid people parking there stupid little cars in stupid little spots.... ARRGH!!! I feel for ya!!

Miles dont you have the corner markers he would need? I think the corners are the same for 90-95.

lee

that doesnt look as bad i thought it'd be..

i cant even imagine how bad it must feel to look at your injured runner... good luck man. hopefully you can find enough helpful hands to get her going.

yotafool

the tjm bumper isnt really bent at all that i can tell. i think its just the brackets. my tire rubs on the inner fender on turns now. im gonna mess with the fender wedsday and going to see how much frame work will be now, since i needed it in the first place. thanks for any help guys

bike4miles

No, the older markers are diferent. They are cheep off ebay though

Babypig

92-95 Marker lights are the same. 90-91 are different than those years.
