A hard goodbye but new beginning

Drive responsibly folks. No way this would have happened had OP been driving an appropriate speed for a road thats covered in snow and ice. Especially considering the amount of tread left on his tires.

Im glad OP is safe and that no one else got hurt. This could have ended a whole lot worse. People get behind the wheel and think they're invincible. Hope they learned from this experience.

 

Most of the vehicles I see in the ditch are 4x4's. Maybe because when conditions suck, they are the most on the road.

Beautiful Tacoma, love the color!!!!!!

 

Nice to hear you came out ok. If you need any help on the 6" build PM me anytime.

 

Glad you are ok. I don’t modify or “build” much on my truck but one suggestion. Remove the front air dam below the bumper. It’s not needed (TRD off road) doesn’t have it and removing it gives the truck a nicer look. Just my opinion.

 

Glad to hear you are alright. This speaks to the safety of these vehicles, even in earlier models. Did you airbags deploy?

 

@Silva

Glad you weren't hurt badly. And that new truck is really nice.

But on the kidding around side, did the muffler cause the wreck? That thing looks like you could drive a Mini Cooper through it.

 

Glad that you're OK. Congrats on the new rig!

 

Glad you're OK. A 6" lift on your new one will go a long way toward helping with your next rollover.

Just sayin', Gotta drive smart.

G.

 

Old blue looked nice maybe u should buy it back and keep it around as a project vehicle may be worth it ? And have as a second piece of transportation I would think it over 59 k is nothing hate to see it hit the scrape yard glad your ok take care

 

Sorry to hear about the old truck. New one looks great tho

 

This isn't a normal thing for these vehicles, rather it is what happens when you think you're invincible and drive like an ass in shitty conditions.

 

Thanks for the kind words and the criticisms as well. I deserve it so I'll take it on the chin, learn and move forward.

The whole driving like an ass and thinking I'm invincible is a little much, I babied that truck and I'm not an aggressive driver. It caught me off guard as I was driving up the hill. Not the first nor will it be the last time I drive in snow/ice.

But I put this on the internet so it comes with the territory.

 

Is your new truck scratched on left corner bumper ? (driver side)

 

I'm not too familiar with quoting someone's post so I hope this works right.

Yeah I hate to see it go but the insurance check went towards the down payment on my new truck.

 

Yes it is, the dealer is fixing it on Monday

 

Yeah that muffler was shot. I kept it because I like how it sounded.

 

Geez RIP taco, but thankfully you good bro. It did it’s job for you, now you can continue being safe with your new one. Hope you find what you looking for in your new one. I’d level it, invest in all terrain tires, running boards and a light bar for starters for mods. Maybe change the rims/wheels into some badass ones. Hostile has some good looking wheels.

 

That and running on worn out tires, at least he lived to tell the tale.

 

My condolences on your loss. Good to hear you made it out ok.
