Hey Joe, thanks Brother. A minor, and temporary setback. It'll take a while but I'll be fine eventually.

To All Of You,

First and foremost, thank you all very much for your well wishes, concern and prayers. My wife and I appreciate this so much. I know that I’ve said this before but I have to say it again. You are the brothers and sisters I wish I was born with, and I will always consider you as such.

Sure, I joke around a lot, say dumb shit from time to time, and can generally blab on and on and that may seem like I just want to hear myself talk at times but what it means is that you all make just me feel so damn comfortable, it’s just easy to do. To be able share my good times and bad times.

In case you hadn’t heard, I was involved in a terrible accident this past Monday night on the way home from work. Thank God my wife Debbie took off that day. Unfortunately, we were discussing what we were going to have for dinner at that exact moment on the hands-free speakerphone built into the truck so she heard the entire thing. She also heard the aftermath of them freeing me from the overturned truck. Thank God again it was a newer Tacoma with the full air bag setup and Mobtown rock sliders. The truck went airborne and landed on the driver’s side. I feel like the sliders helped keep the side of the truck from crumpling more. Once I freed myself from my seatbelt I had to use my knife to deflate the airbags, then a great Samaritan, ex-military, helped me to pry open the passenger door and to climb out. It was a frantic experience because at the time fluids were running onto the hot engine and creating a lot of steam/smoke misinterpreted as fire. The entire time my phone was still on and my wife listening. I was transported to the hospital for my injuries and she had to drive past the still overturned truck. I did get the chance to finally talk to her to let her know I was going to the hospital and that I was not seriously injured.

When I got there they performed a couple chest xrays, a cat scan, a lot of poking and prodding, and finally x-rays of my right hand. As it turned out, besides the usual trauma, from seat belts and air bags, I also have a severely fractured 2nd metacarpal bone in my right hand from my knuckle to my wrist. It’s split nearly in half but not all the way. The operation this Tuesday will be with local anesthesia and a suture on the back of my hand and then screws to hold everything together while it heals.

I’ve been out of work all week taking pain/anti-inflammatory meds. My insurance company will handle everything and has assured me that the probability that the truck will be totaled is very high. I’m also gathering my receipts for all the aftermarket parts I added. Those will be covered as well.

I wish I could tell you more but that is all I know at this time. I will never forget that night, and the nightmares are intense, and will be with me for life. I haven’t slept much and will likely miss more work so I intend to limit my social media activity until this is over with, so I can concentrate on being strong for my wife and myself and try to recoup some of these lost hours if my company will allow it. I don’t want to exhaust the remainder of my vacation time recovering unless it’s absolutely required. Thank you all again, I know who reached out personally and will ultimately let you know personally. I'll be back. Until then please respect my wishes and save all your comments and questions until then. Thank you.

Love Y’all!
Debbie & Rob

Went to the dealer today to finally get my $8k down payment back or have them put me into a brand new Rav4 even swap. At first they told me to fuck off and deal with the vehicle with all the damage they caused. I told them to either put me in the only Blue Flame Rav4 Adventure AWD model for the same price or give me my money back or I'll contact corporate, my lawyer and the news channels. They got me into the higher model for the same price, warranty and payment. I wont be going back to that dealer again. Who here has had any of their vehicles ceramic coated? I'm looking to get the new Rav4 coated.

Hello fellow Pennsylvanians!!! I am from the Pittsburgh/Greensburg early. Figured I would come drop a line and introduce myself to the Steel City Taco Army. I own a 2019 White 6M/T TRD Off-road Doublecab Taco. Currently it is pretty much stock other then tinted windows, nerf bar, magnaflow cat back exhaust and eyecatcher Tacoma inserts. It is a lease so I have to be particular in what I do to the truck but once the lease is over and I buy it out I will begin to modify it.

@RobP62 read your recollection of the wild ride, been through a couple myself. Try not to dwell on figuring out every detail of it you’re only going to remember what you remember. I can’t imagine my wife driving by the scene.

I have to go to a wedding.

Redmann · Sep 28, 2019

Taco Saturday

- driver's side gusseted spindle (did PS last weekend)
- new CV seal
- new wheel speed sensors for both sides
- new JBA balljoints

Over the course of this coming week (I'm on vacation )

- plumb the ARB single
- wire the compressor and find/make a spot for the switch
- put my rebuilt (regreased) winch back on
- bed bars and plano case back on

If I get to it, finish making the bed rack and fix the part of my front bumper that I cut off when I bent it on the trails. I also have a lot of work to do at my house, which takes priority.

HomerTaco · Sep 28, 2019

I hate going to weddings where I don’t know anyone except my wife. I basically get to pay a couple hundred to sit at a table & listen to cotton eyed joe.
