I rolled my 4Runner! (Total write off) *pics*

Shocking that you and your family walked away from this with no issues, especially your pregnant wife.

At first blush, the damaged vehicle reminded me of a Dodge Durango.
 
GLad you and your family are ok. Was coming out of the bush in a bronco 2 many years ago, hit some loose gravel, and all of a sudden, I was pointed the other way. Shook me up pretty good, said my thank you prayer on the spot.
Good luck with the Excursion.
 
Glad you all are okay. I just sold my Suburban to buy the 4R. What a difference and so much easier (and more plesant and quiet) to drive. I didn't need the room anymore though if I do, I'll probably get the Sequoia.
 
While I'm not surprised (seen enough of bad crashes) that you walked away from this with only scratches and bruises, I'm very impressed how the 4runner held up.
Of course I'm very glad you and your loved ones are doing good.
 
It was a very scary crash and definitely an eye opener. Thanks for all of your support and I will be taking it easy on that road frow now on! My wife is a very good driver on gravel roads as well, so I think she will be driving until I get my confidence back.
 
I don't know what's still good on it. My insurance company gave me $22,000 for it, so I am going to take the money and run! They can do what they want with the 4Runner. They did say that there is $28,000 worth of damage.
 
Man, I looked at the pics and couldn't believe you all got out no worse than you did (fortunately!). Somebody was definitely watching out for you that day. I'm glad you all made it out ok.

Parts wise, I wonder what's still salvageable.

That's funny, I was also thinking the same thing! It made me think what I would try to salvage for myself. Probably just my nav radio & a few other things. I guess you could just claim the rest but they rarely ever pay you what accessories are worth...
 
I was able to snag my weathertech floor mats and my Lightforce 170 driving lights. One of them has a broken mounting bracket, but I can buy replacement parts for them. The relay kit I left, but that the least of my worries. I still have my USASpec Ipod adapter installed in it, but I don't think I am getting that back. Other than that, I didn't have much else in it worth grabbing.
 
Im glad you and your family are ok, you are all blessed. I cant imagine going through that with a pregnant wife and a child. Too bad the 4r doesnt still fit your needs I would think after that experience you would have no trouble buying another one.
 
I would consider buying another 4Runner if we were only planning on having 2 kids. The wife wants 3 or 4, so the Excursion fit our future needs. We considered the Sequoia, but as soon as you pull anything heavy, you're gas mileage goes to crap. With a diesel it's not too bad. If they offered the Sequoia with a diesel, I would be all over that!!
