fj60 wrecked today on the interstate (1 Viewer)

[g-man]

A young woman in a Nissan Exterra spun out in front of me in the interstate today. She said her ignition cut off on her. I tried to pass on the left and got about 1/2 out of the passing lane but she still managed to spin into me. Fortunately no-one was hurt. I will prob be shopping for some passenger side doors soon. Anyone in VA parting out...let me know.

Yikes, sorry! Looks like it was a clean cruiser too. Happy no one was hurt - and that's all repairable/replaceable.

Wow. Glad to hear you're safe, that looks like it could have gotten ugly(er). Couple of doors, some welding, she'll be good as new. What cut her like a can opener?

 

[g-man]

some nasty metal edge inside the plastic on the bumper of that exterra. See passenger side of rear....

did it bugger the B pillar?

insurance company is not going to be easy to deal with, they will come in with a low offer and say it is totaled.

glad you are OK

 

[g-man]

B pillar is definately buggered. I am afraid of how low the "totaled" amount will be.

This was a recent insurance thread with some good info:


Bummer... any advice on dealing with insurance company?


Last post he made he was offered in between Low & Average price on NADA pricing for his wrecked rig

psyched for lack of animal tissue harmed. Fingers crossed and positive vibes being sent for repair, etc. of metal/plastic bits involved.

Thanks.. Hopefully it won't get totalled. But restored to pre accident condition. Wish I had a go pro on the dash...I would be uploading some wild nascar looking stuff as she was doing 360's in the road covering 2 lanes and in the shoulder ...I'm amazed she didn't roll it!!

that B pillar is going to be the killer.

 

[LAMBCRUSHER]

pillar should come out and a good one back in without too much adoo...as long as it didn't tweek the upper and lower rail when it was torqued...just find a red one, drill out spots and replace...it's only steel.

I hate these threads..........

Good to hear nobody was seriously injured.

I have the 2 RED doors that you need. PM me if you have any interest in them.

 

[g-man]

It just sounded like and felt like a "punch". ....I gotta wait a see what the ins. co does but may be in pming you about the doors.

Sorry about your 60! Thankfully you were not hurt. I am curious about the Xterra and her claim the "ignition cut off" ? I own a 2006 Xterra, and I would hate for this to ever happen.

All i know is that it was a 2005 Xterra and she had had previous issues with the ignition cutting out on her. check out this website:

[Tasmanic]

That's bad mate. Sorry to see it. Bit too strong to pass off as 'patina?' But good that you're undamaged and hope you get it all sorted.

You can pop the lower spot welds on the B-pillar and cut it where it is straight up top and replace. Harbor Freight sales the bits for removing spot welds.

I would just take whatever insurance money they give you and invest in a solid welder and get to splicing!
