The swampthing2 killed in action...

Maybe a set of these inside the Exo'ed flatbed next time?

I have the shoulder belts to go with them. I just haven't welded in the mounting brackets.
Glad to hear everyone is okay and recovering!! Hopefully your new found legal issues won't drag out to long or be to costly. Good Luck!

Woulda been smarter to have the guys on a car hood with seats bolted to it, tied to the back of your truck. Remember, it's all fun and games as long as you're don't leave the hospital paralyzed from the waist down. Coping with the loss, now that must be tough... I say chop the top and make a custom soft top...with full exo of course.

Clint when I get back to Texas I'm coming to your house with a case of "Swampthings" on ice and we're going to drink about half of them. After that I'm going to waltz your butt out to the yard and do my best to beat into you the need for seatbelts. After you pick my bleeding @$$ up out of your yard and drag my body back to the table we're going to finish that case..... then we go to the beach. 
Man all joking aside I'm glad you're ok.

A couple more feet of exo cage and you the cab would have been fine. 
Good time for folks to realize, even a minimal rollover on the soft sand can screw up your truck and even worse, you.
Be careful out there...especially if you ride with Clint.
Hope you get better soon buddy. I got that stuff you wanted. Send me an email and I'll send it to you cause your old email address I got doesn't work.

Yeah, they kind of just hopped on and hung on for the ride. That certainly won't be happening again.

But yeah it's sad having to loose, yet again, another yoter. My buddy who owns a shop is gonna try to buy it back from the insurance company, but we'll see how that goes. Hope so. But yeah, they're definitely going to total it out.

Yeah, my first concern was for my cousin and friends. Would have been devastated if they had been seriously injured.

Dude, I've got the best coverage know to man on the 84. I've got multimillion dollar coverage on all my vehicles.
There is this 82 yota along with an 84 4rnr I've been eyeing as my next sacrificial lamb.

I didn't see a truck in that first pic you posted. . . 
Glad your ok and so is everyone else. I bet the two guys who were riding on the back won't even think about doing that again so I'm sure you won't have to worry about that lol.
Man how'd you walk so much on a broken ankle? I broke mine and couldn't put ANY weight on it, since the bones were broken and wouldn't support any weight they just slid against each other. I guess its just how you break it though?
Maybe get the 350Z, and then swap the engine and body onto the 4Runner frame?

Hah, yeah that v6 in the 350z is quite a motor, but I've never had a problem with the 22r/e. I'm sure the ST2 is still able to be started right up. Driving it is a whole other issue though lol.
As far as the video and crash pictures go, I haven't heard from my buddy's gf who has them yet. Patients my friends...

/me thinks Clint lies awake at night dreaming of new and spectacular deaths for his Toy's....!
Good to see you and the others are not seriously hurt, my friend.
But all I gotta say is this, if you harm another innocent Toyota, in satisfying your sick destructive side, I will PERSONALLY go to Tx, and put you in an Exploder and blow you and the exploder up.

Wrap your mind around this.
Those guys from top gear just got done shooting the last installment of that "Killing a Toyota" video we all love so much and during the last few minutes of the show, when they bring in the burnt, drowned, dropped, mashed, mangled, frame busted, smoke smelling, sand filled rig back inside and the guy exclaims "And here it is!!! It's still running!!!!".
From the back of the crowd you hear a slightly slurred Clint....."Hell that ain't nothin'. Give me the damn keys and hold my beer, I'll show you how to kill a Yota."

Man it still gives me the heebee jeebee's. Anyhow, for your viewing pleasure:
