Last night my 4Runner met up with a tree when trying to avoid an oncoming car that was in my lane. 
It could have been much worse, the tree was the much better option. I was the only occupant and had no injuries.

Damage guesstimate (it was dark and hard to see): front bumper, front passenger fender/wheel well into the engine compartment (although no damage under the hood). Passenger front door won't open. Hood is bent. The A Pillar is dented pretty good but hopefully is just on the surface. Windshield is cracked. Broken headlight and fog light. Front passenger wheel is damaged somehow, guessing a broken tie rod. Scratches and dents down the entire passenger side.
Waiting on claims adjuster now to see what they say.
Sadly I was just getting into my build, had just installed a ToyTec 3" lift, Front Runner Rack. Just got her back from the dealer on Tuesday for new plugs, coils and valve cover gaskets. My BudBuilt 5 piece kit and rear diff skid arrives this Friday and was going to be my weekend project.
I was pretty impressed with how the 4Runner fared against a tree at 40mph. I expected the damage to be much worse. The Front Runner roof rack also took a good smack from the tree and seems to only be scuffed.

I wish I could afford to buy the armor off you, and other parts. Buying a house, baby on the way, work just picking up from winter, need to do the timing belt and exhaust manifolds on my truck, and now my daughter wants to live with me too.... This daddy is tapped! Ugh
