Passing things down : Runners are Tanks..Good Idea !!
Why do that to a great 4Runner, New driver death sentence NNNOOO, J/K.
96Red taught daughter to drive, a yr maybe. Got it back for 2 yr, taught son yr or so got it back for 8-9 yr. Got wheeled by us all for 18 yr 374k + miles.
Got titled to son 6-2017 his for good, 2-2018 a bad suck azz driver bumped RF tire doing 70 mph, A headon into concrete, 150' slide on LF roof corner and hood did it in, ha. Son said ride of his life going down road upside down and a spark show coming your way. Little cut 1" or so on his head.
The Tank part !!
I don't know of any vehicle that would or could of done any better.
Try to paint a picture aye.
Everything in front of big front crossmember was bent dead against crossmember, winch + mount it all, bent 90*.
Sheet metal buckled oh yea everywhere.
Not a true door or hatch opening.
Slip yoke was pushed into no mans land, area we never use.
Tank part II >>>>>> I'm gettin there, ight.
Nary a glass broke !! OE except Windshield. Glass is glass here.
The doors did not open in a roll over, hell you couldn't pry but RR door open.
Windshield stayed square didn't shatter, broke in corner from contact.
Metal corner outer, part we wax cause of tree limbs, dented to inner structure thats it. 1/2-3/4".
The passenger compartment structure held up great, firewall didn't move, engine against it.
I was impressed by how well it did in the crash test !!! Dummy n all..
Can't go wrong passing it down !!!
