Wow!
That sucks about that tree jumping out like that. Crazy how some bumpers seem to compound the damage. Do think that was the case or maybe it absorbed enough of the impact to save your radiator? I'm glad you had a great time any how.

bumper 100% saved the rest of the truck. That was a 35-40 mph hit. I drove it 600 miles home problem free afterwards. The tree did not “jump out”, I hit the closest one I could before the truck gained any more speed/rolled.
Now the picture makes sense.

Footage reminded me of that old Stormin’ Norman video
Glad you are OK and the truck took it like a champ.

theres a pretty accurate first hand account on the YouTube video description.
I had to watch it 3 times before I seen it.
... Glad you are okay.
I pulled my driver side fender and put some seam sealer that @CenTXFJ60 recommended. He even told me how to remove the fender! Lots of bolts.
Funny thing, the fender had never been pulled yet there wasn't the hose for the vent. Hmmm. Saki night the night before her 7/86 born on date perhaps? Saki bombs lol.
Installed new OEM side marker lights.
Stripped the interior with @CenTXFJ60 to pull the tranny a few weeks ago to do some other stuff. So I ordered the 80 mil noico deadener. I am to lazy to make a thread lol.

Finally got one of them fancy factory inclinometers installed, with some electrical parts help from @ToyotaMatt. LED backlight bulb and factory plug. Got the inclinometer from @FJ40GURU.
Cruiser lean confirmed. The struggle is real.

so when it rains really hard my drivers side carpet gets wet. I have not been able to isolate the problem. I replaced the door seals with double ones so I dont think that is it. I am thinking that I need to remove my fender and reseal like you did. What was the reason you did this and how hard was that fender to remove??
Not hard just a lot of bolts to remove. Lots of great help on mud same things, my carpet was always soaked. @CenTXFJ60 sprayed all over with a garden hose until we found the leak.

Not the lower corner of the windshield leaking, like most (mine)?

Not my windshield. I need to pull heater core on passenger side a seal that next. Using a water hose will allow you to identify exactly where the leak is happening.
