Ouch, that sucks, I love the look or the 2 door, and I am partial to red. Did you go off the road or just turn sideways and roll over?

Oh, a little from coulumn A, a little from column B
Most importantly, it's just a truck, and I'll be getting another one. I just have to do it before I go back to work Friday!

That sucks but glad you're ok. Did that just happen today? I saw lots of cars sliding today, one almost hit me as they couldn't stop at the intersection.

Ow, very sorry Blair. There's just nothing to do but hang on when you hit black ice. Glad you're OK, and hope your insurance covers your loss. Maybe consider an FJ-80?

Just a quick note to all...thanks for your concerns. It's really heartwarming.
and, some sage advice...seatbelt REALLY,REALLY do save lives. I stopped counting the rolls, but the pics I post will tell the tale. When I came to a stop, on my roof I was securely fastened into the seat. No flopping around, or banging off of broken glass. Just a tiny little cut on my hand, from extricating myself via the smashed passenger window. In my professional life I've cut many others out of this situation in far,far worse condition!

Thanks again, and please...BUCKLE UP

Now, back to my search for a replacement. Oh, and a few

Sorry to hear about the accident.
As everyone else said - really glad to see that you're okay. You going to stay 2nd gen? Or looking at maybe a *gasp* 4th?

Hey there's a really nice 2nd gen for sale on this board in B.C. I think.

Lifted, locked, bumpered, and lots of other stuff. Just check in the For Sale section. Sorry about the roll

Yikes that sux man. My G/F rolled 5 times with my built up 95 Nissan Pathfinder in 2002 she was ok so were my kids the 48" high-lift that was mounted on the tire prevented the back half of the roof from collapsing.
I headed last home last night at 3 am after a party. The roads and the interstate were all ice I felt the rear end sliding all over even at low speeds in 4wd at 30 mph all I could picture is being upside down in a ditch luckily nothing happened I made it home in one peice.
Anyways glad everyone is ok are you going to buy it back for a parts rig? I did that to my pathfinder and sold the parts then scraped it when I was done selling everything off it.

Thinking about that, as the engine is new, via the head gasket warranty!
There's a bunch of other newwer parts on it, as well.

WSU...I did see that on in Victoria...nice looking, but I'd rather do the mods myself.

Eric...the engine is good, but the shipping, etc, from Canada to you would be killer.


As for the upgrade to a 3rd gen...the GF says she'll kill me, if I buy anything less than a '95. Also says it's a blessing in disguise. She was pretty pissed when I bought a '91 But I really like the 2nd gens, apart from the 3.0. They just have a look that I kinda like.

Oh well, out I go, into the snow. I HATE buying a vehicle in the winter

Sorry to hear about your loss, just be glad you're alive. The 4Runner held up pretty good in the rollover.
