Well one day all of our luck will run out...

[Revosickness]

My luck ran out a 7:08 last night on a dirt road. I was trying to catch up to a friend and went over a crest that leads in to a turn and proceeded to skid hit the ditch go airborne and flip. This Is the first car accident I have ever been in and it was truly a wake up call to how fast stuff can happen. The body is pretty much worthless but all of the suspension and 4x4 parts and engine are salvageable. I will upload pictures later and yes it is for sale.

Sorry to hear that, and glad you're OK!

Are you looking to sell the truck whole, or are you parting it out?

 

[Revosickness]

I'm hoping to sell it whole since as far as I could tell there was no damage to any of the cvs, diffs, a-arms, and other suspension components.

If you decide to part out please let me know. Sorry to hear bout your truck. Are you going to get another 4runner?

 

[hungryeddy]

sucks! i've been there before... my family bought a brand new 4runner on June 02, 1997 and i rolled it on June 02, 2007 with 184k heartbreaking experience for sure.

At least you are ok, thats whats important!

 

[Hepar]

Sorry to hear. Glad you're ok. In the end, it's just a material item. Replaceable. Might be VERY hard to replace, but replaceable.

and no i doubt i will be getting another 4runner. thats why i would like to sell the car as a whole instead of parting it out.

 

[Gerdo]

Ouch!
Good to hear that you are OK.
If you don't have collision insurance (where they will pay for the total) you will make a lot more money parting it out. That is IF you have somewhere to do it. And parting it out will take time. When all of the good stuff is gone, then haul to to a recycler. You could get a few hundred for scrap.

Sorry to hear. Looks like my 93 Toyota 4x4 back in 96 when I was having fun then ran up a guide wire to a telephone pole and flipped it. Glad your ok.

 

[Revosickness]

if i get takers for all the major components i will consider parting it out

 

[madbomber08]

I wouldn't be suprised if that thing still ran and drove. Does it?

 

[Revosickness]

Havent tried. The driver side of the dash, roof and floorboard moved over about 8 inches.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Im sorry to hear about your 4Runner loss. Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

 

[Revosickness]

haha 17 and reckless. but the only thing i can do is chalk it up as a learning expierence and be thankful nobody was hurt. a car is replaceable a life is not.

But if i get takers for the engine, transmission, transfer case, and diffs i will part out the rest.

 

[tbst]

Sucks!

I really need some back seat head rests. Let me know if you do part it out!

 

[White 4x4runner]

What transmission is it? I may want it if the miles are low enough

 

[pin8246]

Hell I might be up for some interior parts depending on the condition and color.
