    I am still sore and shocked at what happened, I'm lucky to be alive. Yes, it was my fault.

    Roger that.

    In all honesty, you would probably be a lot more sore/injured if it was the other way around.

    Hopefully this will at least be a constant reminder. :thumbsup:

    +1 you gonna have to start over basically. which means parting out your lift if you can save it and wheel tires ect. any interior and mechanical parts you can save too.

    then you'll have to find another tacoma

    glad you are still okay, and it looks like you understand the shear stupidity of what you did. Sometimes you have to learn the hard way, just be glad you didn't hit a family in a minivan.
