mike,
you are right, I did have clear corners and turn signals. I had upgraded the headlight assembly to the '01 style, but I had not done any work to the tail lights.
I have my new 4th gen. 4Runner now and man it is awesome. It is amazing what a decade of changes can do to a vehicle!

No, I was knocked unconscious when the car flipped (which I assume is when both airbags deployed). I can tell you parts of my face were swollen a bit for 2 or 3 days and my face had a few marks similar to carpet burn or something. All in all I don't think my face looked THAT bad considering what happened. I've seen people look much worse after a stupid bar fight or something, haha. My left eye still has a bit that is bloodshot from the shock or concussion but I've heard it can take a while to go away.
One more thing... I got a copy of the police report and it says that my car flipped 2 and 3/4 times.

I had my side airbag deploy when my vehicle was t-boned. I never saw the airbag while it was inflated, but I do remember for a brief second I felt like I was being pushed from the side. My eyeglasses were on crooked and bent after the crash. There was some smoke residue as the airbag deflated, and that was it.broncosi said:
I have handled many patients where the front airbag deployed, including my own 70 year old mother, and frequently they looked like they were punched by a boxer. Rings have gotten bent, wrists have been sprained and broken from the airbags (especially the first generation airbags), and many folks have had abrasions like rug burns from the airbags. However, they usually look a lot better even with the airbag injuries than they would have without the airbag.

Yeah, I had that dust stuff from the airbag on my face as well. Looked like dirt or something.
Just wanted to say I'm jealous you are in Oak Ridge, Atomic4Runner... I spent about a year in the Knoxville/Maryville area and would go back in a heartbeat!
Nice looking 4Runner, too... looks like mine.

:jaw drop: WoW, to echo everyone else, glad you're OK and Big Ups to the Tropers who nailed that guy, hope he does some time for that one.....Any crash you can walk away from.......
When you get the 4Th Gen, you'll have all these airbags deploy, at least it should be safer!
Peace=out!

Hey, there's no time like the present to move back... more folks are moving in than moving out! No state income tax, great weather, low cost of living... and some really great trails to play on with your 4Runner.MSU4Runner said:
