FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Hi all, its with great sadness that I report my FJ died yesterday.  While coming back to the bay from Dodge Ridge (off highway 108) the FJ lost control at about 50-55 MPH and went into a spin.  During the spin I went accross the highway and hit a tree head on, this ricocheted the truck down the side of a mountain.  We rolled over once and luckily lodged up against another tree.

 

The truck did exactly what it was supposed to; the engine compartment crumpled, but the cabin was unscratched, all the airbags went off, none of the windows broke and all the doors opened.  Luckily me and my buddy were able to walk away with just a few bumps and strains.

 

I don't know if I'll get another FJ even though I'm convinced its the safest trucks out there.  Looking into a 4 runner.  I never got to meet any of you in person but feel as if we've all been friends for a long time.

Jim, I am glad you and your friend are still here.
Thank you everyone for the well wishes.  I'll try my best to get out to the truck and get the items everyone requested (if possible).
