pretty fricken cool.... just take down the antennas when you guys go chasing storms... or have 2 extra spares.

Thats awesome, sucks for the 4Runner though...
I wonder if anything else blew besides the radio antenna and tires....

So was the 4runner ok? I mean that's the important thing.

I wonder about the ECM, etc. That roof damage sucks.

Well, just goes to show what a good Faraday cage a car is. I guess he should have gotten 33's or bigger to put a larger gap between him and the ground. Good thing we have larger than stock tires. :D
