BEWARE RUTS! — Toyota Mark II Qualis, 2.2 liter, 2001

   Toyota Mark II Qualis 22 2001

BEWARE RUTS!
I rode today, rode ... Slippery, it’s good so ... I haven’t driven for
a long time, and then suddenly, at the wrong time, GONCHEG woke up in me.
One turn to the right by 90 degrees, then immediately to the left by 90 degrees and a straight line for 500 meters ...
And who would have thought that this could happen on a straight line, and in the very middle.
And here you see the result!
I consider myself a pretty good driver and I have experience in extreme driving, but here, as they say, “I got conceited”, and as a result I lost control. And the speed is only about 50 km/h.
A man pulled me out in a GAZelle, for which I thank him very much, and didn’t even take the money, immediately the taxi driver (on the MARK Samurai) stopped and wanted to help. The car stuck out in a snowdrift for less than 5 minutes, but I looked for the license plate for about 30 minutes after I drove home for a shovel (while waving a shovel I lost 500 r - they probably fell out).
Here are the things.
The bumper is almost intact, only the lower part of the bumper grille and the transverse partitions have burst.
There will be a reason in the spring to pump the bumper anyway …
I already bought the frame for the number and installed it, it was plastic, it became iron, now it’s as if there was nothing.
Do not drive comrades, take care of yourself and others.
I apologize for the quality of the photo, 2 of them are phone.

Familiar landscape! Near the trolleybus depot on Selezneva! And Mark is really strong!

It burst from below where the grille was, when they pulled me out and I looked at the bumper, the entire grille between the foglights was indented to the top of the bumper and I thought that it was gone, but with a slight movement of my hand I pulled it into place, like a rubber one ...
But the grille is not the main thing is scary, everything else is whole, when hit by a bumper, the headlight mounts usually still break, but I was lucky in this regard.

Yes, in Novosibirsk in many places there is a kaley. By the way, I'm studying right now in Novosibirsk. It's good that the bumper didn't burst.

The Niva is a good car, of course, in terms of cross-country ability, etc.
But after the mark, I would only sit on a crown or a land cruiser (this is about Toyotas, and only Audi from Europeans)

Hellish is not the word!
"" Now, even in the summer, when I see a rut, I get scared! ""

On the VD, in general, you’ll make it turn around crosswise, it just slides into the turn circle with all 4 wheels and nothing interesting, everything is very predictable. Apparently it really was a hellish track ...

That's just the point... that he wasn't actively working, didn't even have time to unscrew it in the direction of skidding... it was just a monstrous track... and the speed was only about 50 km/h

In general, you need to manage a lot so that Mark throws his ass like that)))) apparently you worked very actively as a wheel!

I thought about tires 215/55 R17

Kucherman 23.02.22

Keep in mind that when switching to radius 17 with a profile width of more than 225, rutting in the summer will be very seriously felt on the steering wheel!

K
Kucherman 23.02.22

The profile is high, it will touch the plastic protection on a strong eversion of the steering wheel and on waves at speed.
