As everyone said, glad you guys are OK because that is really all that matters.

Pro Tip: don't give your next ride a name. The universe works in mysterious ways.

There are more people on the road on cell phones than there are drunk drivers.

Seriously? Parts request? Give it a few days at least.

There is no mourning over a car. They don't wait for mourning to lapse when harvesting donor organs, should be no different with car parts.

Glad everyone is OK. They are safe vehicles in my opinion.

Got any plans for your roof rack cross bars? I need a set!

Insurance companies usually take $ away from the total loss settlement if the vehicle is missing stock parts. They don't let you canabalize the vehicle... It affects their salvage profit.

Glad everyone is OK.

The safety and ruggedness is one reason why I picked the 4Runner.

Did you get any pictures of underneath the front and rear bumpers? Curious on structure and crash bar deformity.

Glad you are ok. Friend got rear ended while stopped in traffic on the freeway by a girl driving 70 mph and texting on her phone. He was in a PT Cruiser which was reduced in half. He was knocked out and carted away in an ambulance. He's still recovering from nerve issues 4 months later. Way different outcome than what you experienced. When he was searching for a new car, he wanted something with improved safety in such a collision. I recommended the 4Runner because of the body on frame construction. I need to follow up and see if he got the 4Runner.

The PT was designed by Chrysler in the late 90s off the Neon platform. That is essentially worst case scenario. hwell:

No but think frame is bent due to doors not opening correctly anymore and panels not directly hit bent and twisted.

Always sucks to see a good 4Runner get wrecked, but so glad that you and your family are ok.
