Tacoma: 1, Death: 0

More like 120mph impact, considering both parties were traveling at 60mph. But Holly molly!

 

It will transfer more energy to the occupants, that is not fiction.

 

Um, nope! Two vehicles, if same mass, hitting each other at 60 mph is still just 60 mph, not 120 mph. Velocities are not additive. However, if one car's mass is 2X the other car, then you can use that ratio as a multiplier.

 

Well if I croak in a head on collision, let me just say its been a pleasure chatting in these forums, and thanks for all the funny one liners and vast knowledge I've come across in here.

 

Holy Diver! Glad they are ok. Makes feel like I purchased a decently sturdy vehicle! Hope I never have to find out tho!

 

Did he promptly go and beat the shit out of the Honda driver for driving like an asshole on the highway???

 

How did they get into a head on collision on the freeway? Is the I-15 not a divided highway in Utah? Been a good 15 years since I have driven thru there (damn need to go back!)

 

Did it roll over too?

That's damn impressive, glad everyone is okay.

 

No armor, just plain Jane bumper.

 

That is awesome

 

Nope, thankfully he didn’t roll!

Couldn’t tell you. I’ve driven the 15 also the entire way but can’t remember if there are spots where it narrows.

 

Can I have the GFC?

 

did he have a CMC?

 

The good news is, in a crash like this, it would not matter if he had a stock bumper or an ARB bumper because velocities were too high.
Stock bumpers help you in lower speed crashes and that is where you would get more jarring if you have a steel bumper.
Higher speed safety is the crumple zones that get progressively harder the closer you come to the passenger compartment.

 

Will do, thanks!

"$15k obo"

Thats actually a really good question. I know we talked about him doing it at one point but Im not sure if he ever pulled the trigger and did it. Ill find out and let you know cause im curious too now.

 

I dont want the truck just a broken GFC

 

Awesome, thanks!

 

That is for the GFC. ItS a HoT MaRkEt BrO.

Im actually not sure how that works with insurance, can he pull that thing off and just fix whatever is broken and keep it?

 

think as long as you weld a plate on your cmc the strength should be similar. Note to self, get cmc plate welded.
