Hollister 2-11-06 (first major damage)

[NUb]

I took my 1984 Toyota 4Runner to Hollister today, messed around a bit, maybe a bit too much . . . and sustained some damage.

This obstacle course is called Frame Twister, these stumps can get frustrating at times, my wheelbase just so happened to be the perfect length to get wedged pretty well a couple times.


This is Squeeze Rock, I figured I'd do it.  Why not?


Now we see why it's called Squeeze Rock.


Eek, first major rock rash...


After fooling around in the obstacle courses for a while, I hit the trails.  Everything was peachy, couple hill climbs here and there, articulated in some ruts, then...


Yes, I flopped it.


Good thing there was a fellow in a Jeep following me at the time and he lent a helping hand with his winch.


Here are a couple pictures of her on her side.




After we got it back on all 4, it was time to check out the damage.  For the most part, I lucked out.  There are some dings on the rear fender, a dent behind the door handle, and my front fender was a little mashed in.  The paint is still mostly alright, but it cracked when the front fender was bent in, and it will begin to chip if I don't do something about it.


Hey it's just bent metal, right?

Oops, I posted that from my brother's account.  This is my account and that's my 4Runner.

thoughs are some good pictures of your truck . Looks like you hardly heart a thing when you flopped

[Rocksurfer]

That's why I'm afraid to paint my truck, looks like you had fun though.

[motorider228]

you totally lucked out with that flop, it looks like some of those dents can be pounded out anyways. Its still a beautiful truck.

Rocks don't like purty paint I guess.

Rocks don't like purty paint I guess.

They don't like spray paint either but at least its cheaper

[BIG BALLS]

What a wonderful paint job, you can even see your reflection in the paint

[Hyena]

I don't feel so bad about my truck now.

[Toobad82]

[Tomota]

That was shure a pretty truck. The first time always hurts but it will get better the more you do it.

[gotrocks]

I think I'm going to cry now.  Maybe I shouldn't paint my 4runner now.

[IronClad]

i dont get how you guys are rolling in places like that..

[Toobad82]

nice carnage man. you should run a some tubes along your fenders from the sliders to the front bumper for some protection

[Shamb]

As some have told me: Paint meet rock, Rock meet paint! Still looks good though!

[toyotamobing]

Jeff (NUb) is my older brother.  That's my 4Runner in the pictures.  If you want to see his truck go back to the Rig Gallery and sort the threads by creator.  You'll find his picture threads.
