[tom85]

well i hit a ditch then a tree a about 50 mph i hit deep water on the road so the right side just stop and the truck spun sideways

[Cheesemaker]

That still doesn't explain why the cab is missing!   

[tom85]

well i showed the pictures to a crash annalist at Toyota and told him it hit a tree he said the truck hit a ditch first and that twisted the chassi and broke the mounts then it hitting the tree it broke it all the off. when it hit the tree it spun around 180 and the frame and all stop and cab got sling shot-ed off and into a corn Field

Wow 

That is nuts. Obviously you fared better than your truck I hope you didnt get too messed up.

[Tool Pimp]

Holy

that tells me they are not building trucks strong enough these days. Glad you are OK, but I'll stick with vintage parts.

also, if he knew it twisted(which is what broke it) just by looking at pics, then Toyota knows they aren't building the frame strong enough.

bigrigs  are designed  to sheer the cab off in  severe crashes,  the idea  is to  remove  the occupant  from  danger 

[tom85]

the bolts that hold the cab to the frame reaped threw the frame and so you know i crawled out on my own but still had to be sent to shock trauma and got 3 stitches on my hand

[kiyul4130]

whats the condition of the motor?

[Stocker]

Good grief!  Only 50 mph??   You are very lucky to have walked away from that one -- and IMHO, the survivability of such a crash is sure sign that the truck is properly designed and built.  It absorbed enough energy from the crash that you could survive, which is far better than an intact truck containing a dead body.

[854RUN]

HOLY SHAT, wow dude you lucky. what are they making the frames out of now, tin, that is some crazy stuff. Glad your ok.

[ToYocRawleR]

Thats crazy, were you in the cab when it was flung off?

[Rockcrawlintoy]

[yota_krawler]

so what you gonna do with it? pull the motor and put it in a pickup or runner or something? that would be sweet a 89 pickup with that motor on 42s or something?   

[tom85]

well i thought about puliling the motor and trans and rear axle out and putting it in my 4runner but i desided to scrap the whole thing i didnt want another truck to deal with and yes i was in the cab i had my seat belt on

[yota_krawler]

you got rid of the truck? Why someone would have grabbed that motor so quick!
