Parting Out Very built 1996 LC, Norcal

[djsixbillion]

Begin sob story - this was my baby over the last 5 years, and had way more money and time put into it than I care to think about. In a freak accident, she rolled 3-4 times on the highway. The good news is that my son and I are both fine, which probably wouldn't be the case in most vehicles. The bad news is that what used to look like this:

Now looks like this:

Holy crap! Glad everyone is okay! your cruiser gave its life to do its job and save you both

 

[baldilocks]

I live in Vacaville. Are the tail lights still good? Actually I would like to come and look ASAP! I'm sorry about this. That cruiser is awesome! Glad you guys are ok thought!

 

[baldilocks]

Interested in the springs and shocks too.

 

[Boss Hog]

It was a beautiful rig- glad you and your son are ok!
I sent you a pm.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Baldilocks - You're welcome to come by and take a look any time, send me a PM. Unfortunately the headlights and tail lights are all toast.

Are you sure the springs and shock are not damaged? That was one hell of a role over.

 

[Delancy]

Damn.... that was a serious, violent roll, but glad y'all walked away.

Strange how it all is emblazoned in your mind. I still recall, like yesterday, can still see the change from the console floating in midair, as I went over then under it.

Bump for an incredible deal on a 1FZ. If I didn't have one sitting at Robbie's, another still sitting in my dearly departed, I'd be all over it.

Bump.

 

[Impreza]

Glad you're alright man, damn, that was a stunning truck. I say build a new one.

 

[WarWagon]

So glad she saved your lives! That's a helluva roll

 

[mtrdud]

Looks like the passenger compartment held up ok. I've worked a LOT of crashes and that is a lot of damage from a rollover. I'd like to see that investigative file. Looks interesting. I'm glad you guys are ok. You were both buckled in correct?

Well, I haven't put the springs under the SEM, but they seem fine on cursory inspection . Take a look this weekend, I definitely don't want to pass on any parts that may be questionable. One rear shock has a bent shaft, but the fronts appear to be OK.

Thanks for the kind words, from one who knows this situation all too well. I'll have another some day, but for me this is rolled 80 number 2, and I don't feel like pushing my luck with a third any time soon.

I actually do a bit of forensic work myself, and yes the passenger compartment held up well, for what it is. I credit that and the seat belt with saving me from serious, serious injuries, and my son in the rear center with a Britax car seat walked away without a scratch.

Wow incredible !! Just bought my first LC and that makes me feel way safe. Drivers seat belt is all I am looking for. 99337 up in WA

 

[djsixbillion]

Looks like the aux tank is spoken for.

 

[finseeker]

Sorry for your loss...I'd be in for the sliders. I'm in Virginia 23454. Interested in the 4x4 labs and the pioneer head unit.

 

[steven17]

if baldilocks passes on the springs and shocks then I'm interested

 

[richxd87]
