Smallfry's 3rd Gen Build

[Volley]

lol @ the tire install. It sounds weird but I actually sit and lift the tires with my feet to install. Funnier said than done.

Anyway, good call on the spacers. Looks good and looks like you have tons of clearence now.

From Montana

The spacers worked great they elminated the rubbing issues that I had. Now I just got to go back and make sure everything is still torqued down right.

 

[smallfry]

Nothing new. Just out enjoying the great outdoors.

Got a few maintenance issue to resolve now.

Coming soon Tundra brake upgrade: 231mm

I'm hoping before I move to Colorado but that may not happen.

The trip to Ouray took a little total on the brakes.

Got a set of Brembo brake rotors and toyota brake pads. Just waiting for the move to Colorado before I do the upgrade.



In the mean time I had picked some new sway bar end links for both the front and rear since they where shot. Unfortunately, they are going to get junked once the above mentioned move is complete and will be replaced by some OEM end links.

Death of a 4runner

One word 'Damnit'
Four words 'Wear you seatbelt'. I walked away without a stratch.

Short story lost control outside of Little America, Wyoming while reentering the interstate and wound up in the median.

I've already talked to my insurance and an adjuster will be out on Monday.

Noticable damage:

Front passenger side door doesn't open
Broken out glass in front passenger side door
Drivers side front fender crushed and side corner maker hanging out
Both sideview mirrors
Roof crushed in upper a-pillar, wind shield busted in this area.
Roof shows buckling at the b and c pillars
Roof bowed behind sunroof
Interior trim pieces in the cargo area busted from stuff I had back there
Rear hatch doesn't open all the way because of the roof damage
Roof rack busted
Other misc bits broken off
Engine damage unknown - laying on it's side for about 3.4-4 hrs while waiting for a tow truck (about 8 accidents at the same time as mine)



Airbags did not deploy.

Damn! Good thing you are ok. pics like this scare the **** outa me. hopefully it wont be too bad of a recovery for the 4runner.

 

[kzak]

Glad you are ok! Sorry about your rig.

Four words 'Wear you seatbelt'.

Great tip... bad math.

 

[sierra_summits]

oh no!

glad you are ok!

 

[BigFishAllDay]

:dammit:, that really sucks man. Sorry to see a nice rig in that situation. Glad to hear you walked away from it, and great advice on the seatbelts.

 

[smallfry]

Thanks guys. I was really lucky especially since my car was loaded with some of my stuff and a bunch of office supplies for the jobsite.

My brother was right behind me in a Uhaul when it happened and it scared the crap out of him. It took about 3 hrs for a tow truck to get there to get the car back on it side due to other accidents.

I'm working with my insurance to get things taken care of. Gotta love having full coverage.

Here are a few more photos:

Rip!
