    Wow! Thanks for sharing and I'm gad to hear you are OK. Had you been in anything less, you may not be here to tell the story. Your truck saved your ass!


    I would LOVE to get a street bike (Harley) but its dangers like this that cannot be avoided that scare me out of it.

    What a mess. That's the last thing you'd think you'd see flying across the road directly at you. Glad you made it through and you're on the road to recovery.

    If available, I'd like to talk to you about the bed cubby on the drivers side towards the front (just by the fuel door), also, what condition is the grill in? Left half looks decent in your pics, the right half could be busted though - can't tell. If it's not broke, I'm interested in that as well.

    Wow, I'm glad all will be back to normal soon. Hearing of things like this always puts things into perspective. If no one asked about your wiper stalk I'd be interested.

    The interior (back seats) are for your taking. The truck will be at my race car crew chief's shop this weekend and I hope to begin the swap of suspension/TRD S/C/etc then. I will remove what I can and send you pictures to see if you are interested.

    Thanks.

    Glad to hear you're not injred permenantly. What an astounding accident.

    My dad just retired as a paramedic out in the country/E. side of the state, I used to help sometimes on ambulance runs and saw mostly injuries and some deaths, worst was a cabover commercial truck in 1986 if i recall, no seat belt and was sorta alert when we got there, he died on the scene though, even he knew he would.
    When I was stationed in San Diego we were in a Denny's one night and saw someone crash into a building across the street. He immediately got out and got hit by the front wheel that broke off, only got the wind knocked out of him. Its crazy out there!

    Good to hear you are doing well.

    I have been looking for a new center console lid (door). I cannot tell from the pictures if yours was damaged. If not, I would be happy to buy it from you.
