Which one of you is this?

I thought KDSS was supposed to control the roll... just kidding around, but it is interesting both of these have KDSS (note the sway bar attached to the LCA).


Also interesting the 2nd guy spent $600+ on sliders and kept the stock highway tires...

That was actually my wife's question. I up-sold here on a TE (after I rolled my SR5 in an accident) by telling her " you know KDSS could have saved my life and would have kept me upright."

I guess I need to quit offering an enhanced version of factual reality when I speak with her, or keep better track of my fibs.

I know which is more likely...

Are you serious?



If he does, automatic 4ROTM!

Yes, but in fairness to my wife's understanding, I had augmented the manufacturer's performance statistics to much more ambitious numbers. By the time I was done, KDSS sounded like it was derived from a combination of the Mach 5 and the most advanced Bond car.
 
I'm curious as hell how either of these rollovers happened. The terrain around both vvehicles looks completely innocuous. The first one looks like it could have flipped on to the road shoulder or ssomething, and the second... Well I'm just at a loss

He probably rolled of a cliff or an off camber area. The Arizona desert can be very unforgiving. It looks like he rolled to the bottom of a wash. It is also tricky when you climb a step hill and cannot make it and have to back down. Some of the narrow trails in the desert get washed out on one side and when you try to cross it it will pull you to that side easily cause you to roll down a cliff.(I am talking about the 1st guy, the 2nd guy was going to fast.)

Distracted driving? Probably on T4R telling everyone how amazing their KDSS is.

Here's the story on the second guy with some more pics....... New 4Runner is one safe car!

Here's the sad story about wearing seat belts . I sent his wife some money. Sad reminder about seatbelts... "Death at Harlan - 9/6/12" - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum

and another sad preventable one....rollover on Hacket Gulch - Toyota FJ Cruiser Forum
 
Saw this kind of thing when I was a teenager. A guy got killed after rolling a wrangler. It was so tragic because it was a low-speed crash and the truck was entirely intact. Sad how one bad decision can take your life.
