    Surprised that wheel is still inflated. Glad you are ok. Get some Crown or something since I think you are going to feel it tomorrow.

    Yes, I guess I explained that poorly. I ended up 50-60 yards away from impact.

    Mine took a rear end impact at 50-60mph. Insurance and the body shop are fighting now. Body shop said frame is toast and wants to total it, insurance says fix it. Estimate is 20-25k in repairs as of now.

    So, with it totalled, and with your 3rd Gen experience, do you plan to replace it with the same in a 2017?

    Looks like the Toyota hard roll up tonnau cover did its job during impact. Sensing a hard impact that may result in rollover it self deployed to roll over the cab as another layer of protection

    Dang dude, glad you're okay. I had a close call at an intersection, dude in a work van ran a red light doing like 50MPH and skimmed my front bumper. If I didn't hit the brakes in time he would have hit me square in the middle of my truck and I probably would have rolled a few times too.

    I really like the quicksand color. One thing I hate about the front end is that most of the aftermarket bumpers leave big gaps because of the way the front end is shaped.
