Heres my dads 2004 4runnner sport v-6 4wd.
It didnt do to well hitting construction barrels at 65 or so mph. The damn thing only had around 40,000 miles on it too. He said it ripped the A arms up on the suspension and the airbags went off. Im thinkin its totalled for sure. What do yall think?

That sucks man. That's probably borderline totaled from what you described. You never know, some insurance companies will deem stuff like that fixable, some won't. It really depend on if it has extensive frame damage and such.

If they total it you should talk your dad into buying it back and SAS'ing it

 

and he uses it for work, no sas'ing it...hes already got 2 car projects going on

 

that sucks looks totaled

 

good luck. Hopefully its not totaled.

 

Hopefully it IS totalled.
You don't want a jacked up daily driver... hopefully they give him enough on buy-back that he can be okay.

Is he okay?

 

Wow, sorry man.....

 

That's pretty mangled! Because it is so new it may not be a write off, but that is a lot of parts need replaced

 

wow.... man thats nits... were the barrels full of sand? I know sometimes they are, and that looks like it might have been....thats a lot of damage from an empty barrel. I hope it works out for the best...

 

that sucks man...why was your dad hitting construction barrels?

 

X2....

 

Ouch!!!!!!! but its only mangled metal. your pops is ok, and thats all that matters

 

So u guys were raming huge contruction barrels at 60mph... what did u expect? Maybe you should of tried hitting cones or something instead.

 

Ya hes is alright. I hope its totalled too. It could have messed up wiring, suspension and braking sytems as well as the damage in plain view. I wasnt with him, he said he just looked down for one second and the next thing he knew was he was into a barrel full of sand.

 

OOOO... i thought he was purposly hitting the barrels for fun or somthing.

 

so got word from the insurance company today that its totalled, going to start negotiations tomorrow.

 

ouch, but your dad's ok?? Sorry about the truck. Q: I was told that they put water in those barrels?

 

water evaporates...even if its supposedly sealed..
