Ok guys before yall start replaying I know im an inexperianced young driver who is pretty luckey...My dad told me lol

Ok well my dad drove a 98 2wd 4runner and he parked behind my 2nd gen in the driveway. I had to take a friend home so I just took the 2runner as we called it. Well anyway it was raining out so I was driving slow and trying to concentrate on the road. Well on the way back after it had stopped raining i took a sharp turn at 20-25 mph. I have took this turn in my lifted 2nd gen at 35 with out much of a problem. Well coming out of the turn i got on it a little hard and the rear end went straight out. I tried to correct it without over correcting because there was another blind turn 20 feet up the road. Well i didnt correct enough and ended up going off the right side of the road and into a ditch/into an inbankment. Well then it was sliding sideways in a ditch, kinda like grinding on a skateboard. I was doing anything I could to keep from hitting the mailbox I saw coming at my face. Well I managed to hit the mailbox with the rear and it roled my onto the roof. I was totaly fine, not a scratch on me, just scared as hell at what dad would say. Well he was cool and looks good driving a lifted 2nd gen untill the insurance setals with us.

Well I got a few little questions, we have a 3,000lb pop up, has anyone town something like that with a 3.slow with a 5 speed? And what parts can I take from the 2runner for mine besides for the 3.4?

Pic will be up soon!

 

Where's the pics?!

 

lol the 3.4L has a little more power than the 3.slow huh

 

both the 4runners 5spds ?

 

No my dads is an auto. Pic are loading on photo bucket now.

 

Here are the pic!





Sry no pic of the accident it self. If i can find a ride tomarow ill try to take pic of the skidmarks and mailbox

 

That'll buff right out!

I know how you feel about wrecking a parents car. Probably the worst you could possibly feel right now, eh? Don't worry. I wrecked my moms beloved a year ago, and I still feel horrible about it, but we have grown closer in the process. Just you watch, your dad and you will be best buds, and if not, give him a good kick in the nads.

 

ouch ...the motor will bolted up to the the tranny on the 2nd gen i think all you would need to buy is the wiring harness

 

seriously? I thought I needed a 3rd gen tranny?
If it will bolt right in maby me and dad will have a little father sun project.

 

yes it well do a search on 3.0L to 3.4L swap you already have a motor off to a good start

 

I see Explorer rims on a 4Runner. Toyota gods no happy

But in all honesty, sorry to hear about your accident. I hate the feeling of having to tell your dad, but I am glad he wasn't too mad at ya.

 

Those are the rims that came stock on it i believe. they are enki or something like that. Ive seen them on a few yotas

 

I would say pull anything that isnt broken. For instance... the air intake system... front headlights, turn signals, rear taillights so on and so forth.

Are they calling it totaled?

 

where there roads still wet ?

 

No the roads werent wet at 35.

 

Most of the fenderflares seem to be salvageble (sp?), those are worth quite a bit from toyota.
