Welcome to 'dult life..
Thanks for posting this. My kids drive my 60 sometimes, I'm ordering new belts immediately. Don't know why I never thought about it before, in my race car we have to replace the belts after 5 years. The Cruiser belts are almost 30 years old.

LOL!!
To echo the sentiments already posted....thank whatever Almighty power you identify with that you will recover physically. I appreciate your solemn acknowledgement that the others involved have paid a cost for their poor judgement far greater than any of our criticisms. It's a shame you had to lose a great truck in the process, but life moves us in directions we don't always understand at the time. Keep us posted on your recovery as well as the new ride..whatever series it may belong to! Best wishes.

s*** dude, glad your ok. Sucks though i'm sure. i have been debating truck for safety concerns, a bit less concerned now.
i can only reiterate what has been said before, wow. I'm sorry for your loss of vehicle and injuries both physical and emotional. It's a hard lesson in life that one goes through and unfortunately the other drivers won't learn from their grievous mistakes.
As a safety member/chairman of the company I work for, would like your permission to use/share your story at our next safety tailgate regarding every factor of this accident. Drunk driving, seat belts, and the other factors of safe driving.
Best wishes on your recovery.

WoW...glad you're ok that had to suck, repeating what couple others said looks like time for new belts
It took my buddy a year to recover from this head-on accident (a new Monte Carlo crossed the median and hit him at 65 mph). The other driver walked away (many airbags). My friend had serious vision and balance issues that took extensive therapy, and he was badly bruised by the seat belt. He is lucky to have lived, I think. The entire FJ60 body structure was so bent that the hatch lid was rubbing when you tried to open it. The transmission essentially fell out on the ground, and the engine moved up and ahead 6" in each direction.
So glad you're alright Kyle.
Please don't hesitate to seek a good counselor as this may be difficult to deal with emotionally.
We're all here for you.

Wow. makes me feel a little more secure with my 17 year old driving the 60... Might have to get a better front bumper though for sure.
Glad you're ok!
