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:

Holy Broken Wheel Batman. Glad you're OK. Gee Whiz!

Holly Cow! I'm glad you are OK....

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 :D

thank god your o.k. considering what the truck looks like.
i hate 2 or 3 peice wheel's for this reason.

everyone will tell you that there great and safe.
well here is a perfect reason, i like 1 peice rim's.
they are way more money.
but considering the out come, your very lucky.

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

Glad your okay more pic's please how long ago was this !

Tundras are allergic to wheels greater than 20"

glad you are OK though

Alafya River still looks brown ? Glad to hear your ok. Good luck on your new truck and next set of rims.:der:

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

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: :tu:

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. :tu:

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

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!

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:tu:

JBK- I hope that is the case, It sure looks like it. Still doesnt replace MY truck tho :(



Dont worry APIMPDAD, the Astro is getting even better treatment ;) Probably 20-30 15"s on roughly 60Kw... yeah 60'000watts CONTINUOUS :eek::shocked::shockeda::faint:

Thanks Ontherox. ;) I know I got lucky... and I actually was ejected out the rear window, as the windshield wouldve decapitated me if I was in the drivers seat. Blessings came many ways. I really have a new appreciation for life now tho. :angel:

DUDE! Rolled 5 or 6 times??? And you got EJECTED? Man dude! Count yourself l-u-c-k-y, LUCKY!!!

:ts: Yeah I know Im lucky. Really lucky. The guy in the Trauma Unit @ TGH said "Man.......... I...... When people come out of vehicles like you were in, they usually skip this step and go straight to the Coroner..... You have a purpose on this planet... "



--- Now time to figure out what that is ;)

wow! glad your still alive man.

Hope fully a money is in your futrue hope the new truck treat you well I would have tryed to spring for a new truck through.

Well I could have, but that isn't the point. Facts are facts: I lost 3200 in tools, and I was hurt. (I am having a rough time getting back to work, as I work for myself) So this causes roughly 6-7K a month that Im not making. I was well off before this, but Im not gonna spend more money now than I have to ;)

Wow ! Lucky you are alive, Bud

I am certain you will make sure the seat belt is in working order from now on, Huh ?

:crazy: Yeah, the SPL vehicle is going to be a trailer queen, so no worries. :tu:

Yeah it took me awhile after my werck to get back to work but thank god I still get payed even when I take off. I'm out here in los vegas's right now been out here doing some work for the job been here sense tuesday got to get up 4am to get ready for flight at 7am so I can turn in rental and go threw sercurity check. But I know how it is to lose money you should get a big payoff. I'm talking in the 100k range maybe or am I dreaming to much or you !

Medical bills are in excess of 130K right now and rising FAST. Im looking at 500K or more in compensation from the looks of things. I shouldnt have survived the accident, and you cant replace life. ;)

you in the Tampa area?? where did this happen?

Holy crap, man...:eek:

Glad to hear you're alive! That's incredibly lucky...so many ways it could have gone wrong.
