Totaled the Jeep and the Raptor was at fault due to exessive speed on a blind corner

Less than 500 miles...no bueno. Raptor's airbags went off...wonder if offroad mode was on? It's supposed to adjust the airbag sensors so the airbags don't deploy as easily in offroad situations.

sucks for both parties :(

Holy guacamole!

So what are the details? Where'd it happen? Whose Raptor?

<Edit>: I musta been tired - I missed seeing the link you provided - here's the text from the link:

Long story short, my last weekend in AZ and this happens.. It was totaled by insurance i got 5500 for it and plan to rebuild it and buy an on/offroad dirtbike. The frame it suprisingly perfect except a small tweak where the steering box bolts but I had that pulled already.

We swerved and glanced.. better then head on. His fender exploded into pieces and mine rubbed on his inner fender then our tires hit and we deflected apart. BOTH his airbages went off and his front tire is pushed back a bit.

After doing the axleshaft (nightmare) I couldnt make left turns the steering pitman arm is twisted. This made me sleeve in the all the way so it would atleast track straight and make right turns... What a nightmare got it out had to stop because it was getting hot with the radiator being exploded.

AAA picked us up, insurance investigator found him 75 percent at fault, he admitted to excessive speed on a blind corner. It was so fast never been in an accident like that, my airbags didn't go off my axle took almost all the impact!

Wow. The plastic fender really did explode... I hope there will be fiberglass replacements at some point, or at least fiber reinforced plastic.

Wow I thought the fender was fiberglass...guess not. I smashed my rear fender when the truck was pretty new and I was looking into getting fiberglass replacements. Would be nice to fiberglass the front and rear fenders
