Saker’s Midnight Build

[TRD PANTHER]

Hey T4R friends, I have to say my TRD Skid plate my have saved my life if not saving me from being broken up pretty bad. Got me up and over an obstruction across the roadway on the way to work last Saturday morning.
All curtain bags deployed, knee bag and steering wheel bag.
Oil leak on passenger side, front tires contacted inner wheel wells, can’t open front passenger door and Lord knows what else...
Waiting on feedback from insurance company!

Wow! Just think if you were in a small sedan. Good luck with the repair and your insurance company.

Now this is a beast of a 4Runner!!

Indications from the insurance company since so many bags deployed and the oil leak, it’s more than likely a “total” .

 

[NW.OH.T4R]

Good to hear that you seem to have avoided major injury. Good luck sorting things with insurance.

Sad to hear she's a goner but its sounds like she took one for the team. Glad your OK. Will you purchase another or get into something else.

Dibs on your T4R grill badge :jk:

Good News!

I was able to "negotiate" with the insurance company to get a decent deal on my totaled T4R. It took a little bit of assertive data informing them how meticulously my vehicle was maintained since taking ownership, IMHO, to get them to that point......without getting an attorney involved.

So, I signed papers on one this afternoon, now waiting on the insurance company to drop the settlement into my account!

:amen:

Keith,

I'm so sorry to hear about this...I haven't been on in a while. I'm glad you are ok and it sounds like the insurance will hopefully make you "somewhat whole". Can't wait to see the new T4R and any awesome mods/plans you come up with for it.

Take Care!

:cheers:

Hey Chris,
Thanks!

Well a new one is on the horizon.

Being prepped now as we speak.

My wife said I need to retire the name "Midnight"!

So I may take considerations for a new name!

I am already buying parts to upgrade / Mod the new one.

Here is the new one:

 

[TRD PANTHER]

Nice! Congrats. The black Pro wheels look better than the grey Pro wheels that come on the Venture. Did you ask for a swap? Also, I see it has KO2’s? Did you swap the Nittos?

Thx!

The Black TRD Pro wheels are not an option on the 21 TRD Off Road. They come with their own version of off-road wheels with M&S Tires (no Nitto's).

They make a new version of TRD Pro wheels , but am not a fan.
So I bought these just like I had on my other T4R.
They would not do a swap in any form or fashion! :shrug:
