    I don't get it.

    I love telling the tale of how the gnarliest rig broke at Hollister. Saw him at Autozone a few days ago and my buddy was in awe.

    Dave, the owner of the FJ was out wheeling a while ago. He didn't turn off the roll sensing curtain airbags (RSCA button). While wheeling he went off camber which caused them to deploy. There were a few TW members out that day and either saw it or heard about it and posted here. In light of the incident he got personalized plates as a reminder to turn off RSCA when wheeling.

    Anyone know how much something like that costs to repair? I image it was rather exciting when something exploded next to his head.

    Way more than I have saved up. He said it was loud as hell, scared the shit out of him for a sec and they had to cut the bags out in order to see. He said it cost $9k after parts and labor. I never saw the receipt and can only take it for what he claims.

    Damn that would suck! You could make it a whole day without a scratch wheeling and simply forgetting to press that little button costs 9k. Bummer

    Very true! He said everything airbag went off except the one in the steering wheel and passenger side.

    Does it give you any sort of audible warning that you are approaching the self destruct angle?

    The owners manual doesn't mention anything about one and I hope to never learn from expirience.

    I just read through the manual on my 4Runner, it didn't say anything about a indication before deployment. Just said turn them off when extreme off-roading and that they are automatically turned on when the vehicle is started. Should relabel it as the "$9k savings" switch

    I try and remember to shut the thing off.

    But then I stop the rig get out, get back in, and sometimes forget to press.

    The other thing when wheeling - it's handy to have a big old binder clip in easy reach of the driver seat, so that if you stop the truck on an angle to get out, you clip the seatbelt where it is so it can't retract. On a sufficient incline, if it retracts the ratchet will be locked and you won't be able to pull it out and put it back on again.

    I like that last one @bjmoose

    Maybe use one of those clips they use for bags of chips?

    Maybe. Not sure that'll be strong enough. Binder clips are pretty SPROING.
