2006 Tacoma prerunner rollover on highway

Front passenger wheel broke off at 65 mph rolled 5 times...yes i was wearing my seatbelt!

 

Oh my lord, hope you are ok! Curious if this was due to the lower ball joint.

 

Thank goodness that you are posting and were wearing the seat belt.

 

That’s a Gen 1, yes? Was the ball joint recall completed on it?

Glad to hear you were belted in! You’ll likely be sore in a day or two, but if that’s all, then you and the truck did your jobs.

 

More than likely that was the cause.

 

I don't know. it happened so fast, a witness 4 or five cars ahead of me said there were 2 wood support beams on highway and last he saw them fly up in air, I didn't see it! i never left the lane of highway I was driving in and no other vehicles were involved just suddenly was rolling. scarry. seatbelt saved me even though it took all I had for my left arm and left leg and head not to go out of the window during rolls.

 

only wreck I've ever been in. happened 5 weeks ago today.

 

I don't know if my ribs will ever be the same. feels like my muscle came off the bones. still can't move very well. nothing broken though.

 

2006 Tacoma prerunner had 159000 miles

 

That isn't a 2006 Tacoma at the newest it is a 2004 first generation. 2005 is the start of the Second Generation.

 

^This

 

Maybe rolling 5 times knocked a few years off the truck


Glad you're OK

 

Jeezus…. Glad you’re ok, hope the ribs get back to normal. Glad you didn’t have a passenger!

 

I spent way too much time looking at the 1st pic and convincing myself it was a 2nd gen even though the size and the badges clearly are 1st gen lol.

 

Glad your ok!!
First gen for sure.
Either way to roll 5 times and walk away the truck did you right!
Also being belted up

 

Is that a common occursnce?

 

Correction, 2004 is the year, sorry.

 

Yes your correct 2004, sorry, I had it wrong.

 

Wonder if it's a lower ball joint that failed?

Those emblems are that of a 1st Gen btw.
