Faulty 22" Rim sends me a flippin *Pix~

[ThundraSpeed]

I haven't been here in quite a while, but I do lurk still


Anyway, I bought a set of Viscera 22s for the 02 AC Tundra I had, (That was undergoing a SPL rebuild ATM) and 3 weeks after having them, one of them BROKE APART at roughly 50Mph (Driver's Front). I remember the front end going down, and the back end getting loose, and thats it. From what Ive been told, the truck flipped 5 times across 6 lanes of traffic.

I was ejected, as the seatbelts were being relocated, and I only had to drive 2 miles to another shop. Here are before pics:








Here are after.


The wheel:





Drivers side:





Passenger side:




After all that Im doing OK, and I have more pics if anyone is interested.

Yeah, :sad: it was a bit of a ride.... Seems that some gas was trapped in the wheel during the pour. But at least I got a chance to go buy a Double Cab

All considering I came out unscathed. Road rash on my "rear end" from sliding on the pavement And some screwed up disks in my lower back, but it could have been MUCH worse.

About 3.5 weeks... Not long.

Here are some more pics:







PART OF A TREE IN THE WHEEL. (Oh yeah... hit a tree, and kept flipping. Oh by the way, All the tires ALL 4 are STILL Holding pressure.

If tundras are allergic, to bigger than 20"s, the double cab is gonna really hate me.

And yeah the River is still brown, stankin and nasty :crazy::crazy:

You mean to tell me the seat belt came off and you flew out the truck does it still run I thought I had it bad when my 2000 access cab V8 tundra got tolded back in 05 ! So did the wheel company pay for it or was it the insurance company. I would sue the wheels company that was a bad werck glad you was not going faster. So what did you get to replace the old tundra.

No I had to fit 6 15" subs in the back for the 08-09 season in Db Drag. I had to move the seat belts to fit the wall, so I had them laying within arms reach on the way to the second shop to start working on it. I am suing the wheel company, and insurance payed off the truck. I bought a 2006 Double Cab (grey) as the replacement. I will do a nice worklog on this one as it will be a "show" install, to tow the Astro around.

[JBK23]

Seems like you should be a made man after suing them good luck to you on the case !

[apimpdad]

Damn, that looks bad. Glad to hear that you are ok! I would have loved to hear that system if it wasn't destroyed. I am not too far from you!

[OntheRox]

You are very lucky that you were "fully" ejected and that the truck did not land on you...you have bad, good luck, glad to know youre ok. Great pics
