We've only had our '97 Land Cruiser for about six weeks. We were coming back from a two week vacation/expedition on Friday where we were visiting family and camping along the way (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah), and were about 45 minutes north of Las Vegas on our way back when we blew a tire (rear left) while going around 70-75 mph and ended up rolling 4+ times and landing on the passenger side at least 100 ft from the I-15 freeway. We all walked away from it (though extremely shaken). It was me and my wife, and our six year old son and 2 year old daughter. We ended up going to the hospital for a possible concussion for my son, but everyone checked out fine and all we ended up with was some bruising and a couple stratches.
Its a testament to how solid these vehicles are. Several witnesses and first responders were amazed that we walked away virtually unharmed. The good Lord definitely was looking out for us.
