I had just installed my new TJM a three weeks ago was driving on the highway 2 weeks ago with my girlfriend when we hit some black ice. The runner slid one way, then off the road and before i knew it we had flipped over and ended up right side up on the access road. Very scary, im just glad we are both okay and we were able to climb out. The whole thing felt very surreal and I was just shocked. Going to file a claim and see how much I can get back, but I'm worried about what's going to happen with all my aftermarket parts. I have full coverage with StateFarm. Anyone have any experience dealing with them. It's a total loss and it's sitting at a wrecker yard right now.

I have no infromation about state farm, but I'm very glad your girlfriend and you are ok!!! I'll keep you in my prayers!

 

That's insane man. One of my favorite 3rd gens. Glad you guys are alright.

P.S. Looks like the bumper held together. (j/k)

 

Yeah I noticed that when it all was over, we took out some kind of highway sign.

 

WOW!!! im glad to see your alright. it looks like the TJM made it out alright...how much you want for it..haha

 

Glad you are both OK

take care,

D

 

sorry to hear about that man, that was such a beautiful runer and had so much work into it.

 

State farm will take care of you. They have done good for me in the past.

Use your PIP it will not raise your rates.

 

FAR AS I KNOW YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY IT BACK FROM THEM. LET THEM KNOW YOU WANT IT BACK AS YOU HAVE MANY THINGS IN OR ON TRUCK THAT YOU NEED BACK TO BUILD ANOTHER. I WOULD CALL FIRST THING MON MORN BEFORE THE WRECKING YARD STARTS SWIPPING STUFF OUT. CHECK YOUR TRUCK TO MAKE SURE IT'S STILL THERE BEFORE BUYING IT BACK. HOPE THIS HELPS. & THANK THE BIG GUY IN THE SKY THAT YOU & YOUR WIFFY ARE ALIVE. (GODSPEED BROTHA)

 

wow that really sucks glad your both ok and about state farm i dont have it but when i got in my accident they where real helpful

 

I feel sorry for you. That is such a nice looking truck. Looks to be the same green as mine.

I second the TJM, how much you want for it?

 

what is PIP, thanks

 

Mine is actually black.

 

so sorry to hear that man...that was one killer looking runner, must be painful, but not as painful as a serious injury: very good to hear that you and your gf are ok, that's the most important thing...

 

I'd try to buy it back and salvage what you can. Glad you both are ok, is that a JAOS rear spoiler in your avatar, if so where'd you get it from?

 

Glad to hear you guys are fine...

(Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is an insurance coverage for medical and other expenses resulting from an automobile accident) that is what my insurance adjuster used to pay for my first 4runner accident....it covered all the after market ad-ons plus it covered the gap between what I owed and what the insurance deemed the 4runner was worth.....

supposed to be only for medical stuff...but I gave them a hard time about all the stuff I had on the trk, and it was a fluke that the gal that pull a left in front of me had the same ins. company also...so they agreed since I wasn't injured that they would pay me for "supposed injuries" and I'd use that for what I wanted...so long as I provided the reciepts for add-on and signed the waivers....it all worked out great. Hope it does for you too......GOOD LUCK

 

Thats why I bought a Toyota!
Cause I knew if I got in a nasty accident that I would be able to walk from it!
Sorry to hear the bad news man.
Thankful to hear everyone was alright.

 

man I feel for ya - my 4runner rolled on halloween night (not as bad as yours) but I'm just glad you guys are both ok!! seriously it makes you think and makes you be all the more thankful for each day you've got. I hope everything works out ok.
