Look what I happen to see on the highway..........

 

Lance?

 

pretty sure, and that campground sign is up off of 395, south of bishop i believe.

 

it sux for whoever it is!

 

man that sucks

 

I'm sure it would probably buff out....

 

x2

 

Oh my, hope Lance is alright.

 

Crap!! That sucks Lance!! I hope you are ok...we can rebuild it, we have the technology.

 

ouch...that doesnt look like fun at all...

 

it's cool my dad has a kick ass set of tools

 

He's a TV repairman

 

yeah, that truck is toast....bye bye frame!

if he's lucky he can salvage the LT stuff and sell it off, or keep it for further use.

 

dudes on ludes should not drive

 

man that totally sux. He jsut had his truck in 4Wheel & Offroad Mag! Too bad, that runner is awesome.

 

everyone is ok, doesnt look like any frame damage. other guy made it out just fine. scratches is all!

brief account of what happened:

out in death valley, rearended back of a tube bed pickup. scratches on the tube of the pickup, no one hurt, just a very bruised ego and wallet.

engine looks to be ok, had to be towed 100 miles across the desert to the nearest road, until it was loaded up as pictured.

i know lance is no longer here, but many of you are friend with him, and enjoy his articles/etc. just thought i would let you guys know. the full story will be posted elsewhere...

 

picture isnt working, but glad Lance is fine and maybe he will get it rebuilt, another 4th is a lot of money.

 

As long as he is ok that is all that matters.. I really enjoyed watching his 4th Gen being built.

 

OK, a little more to the story, we were all moving quite fast along the dirt road near the racetrack. Usually if someone was gonna slow down or come to a stop, they get on the radio to notify the person behind them. Between Lance glancing away and not being notified, he couldn't stop in time. Most of the damage was due to the front bumper not being attached properly, it folded up too easily and caused the extensive damage. Fortunately the frame is just fine. Now the plan is to tube the front and replace the damaged parts. All the lights were destroyed, his winch is toast as well.......

 

Wow man glad everyone is ok...hate to see a 4runner down
