And now its time for my response...
I fully understand what riff raff is saying and agree with him. Though in the given situation its not the case. I'm trained to operate a vehical tactically which involves avoiding other cars and such. Also that involves a large variety of vehicles from a tiny camry to HMMWV or hummvee (hummer). Yes if I had larger brakes it would have helped but it wouldn't have changed the outcome. By the time I began course correction and braking it was far to late. It all happened so fast that there was absolutely nothing I could do to change the outcome. So my instinct reaction was to put the quarter into her car to avoid more damage. A 3 foot tire can take more hit than the engine.
As for the beast, she sits quietly. I have absolutely no intention of getting rid of her. More than likely she's going to be taken off of the road and will begin the transformation in a trailor queen. Body damage first then axle swap and larger lift, brakes, power up grade, a real transfer case, and armor. Larger tires will be in there somewhere. But first I need to get a reliable truck that I won't mess with. I'm looking at quad cab tacomas.
