I ripped a valve stem AGAIN!

I painted my truck brown, and even some brown spots inside

I have used all skids and sliders and I need even more protection.

My alarm's siren is not working anymore

it was awesome, can't wait to see the pictures/videos.

[Winch]

[BeachBoy]

Ha ha, yes, those came in extremely handy. I cannot recall (even from back in the day when I still had 31" tires) when I ever needed something like that so desperately. My main concern was for the tierod and it helped to lift me over and then again for the rear pinion as well.

PS: How about "friend" :)

[freeze]

haha... yeah thanks to Will those ramps really came in handy. Should have seen how we got Marc down over the rock before dropping into the river wash out!

[RiceFarmer]

Hmm, judging from the pictures I think I should have some sort of a lift to attempt this run what do you guys think? Removal of running boards of course haha!

[BeachBoy]

day 1 you could've made it (to plane crash)

day 2 forget it (daisy creek).. unless we tow you all the way AND you don't mind breaking your body panels and bumpers (all of them)

[canadian bum]

Woot finally made it home. Thanks a ton to Gary for giving me a place to stay and a vehicle to use to collect parts. We had some fun as well in the span that I was stuck in Calgary so it was all good. Gary you will have to pile something on your truck so you can come stay at my place for a couple of days.

[canadian bum]

Well carnage for the weekend

- dent in RH box corner (popped it out already when i was at Gary's)
- Completely piled LH wheel bearing (suprised i made it to Calgary thought I was going to have to strap a log under the front and skid it back)
- Some how got a warped rotor (must have been from the heat of the wheel bearing)
- I always lose the stupid CV boot clamps

I have pictures and after some rest I will post them, but I am not looking forward to pulling the truck apart again to change a seal that none of the Toyota dealers had.

[freeze]

wait to you see what Belleview and Westcastle have to offer!.. haha Minus the mud of course!

I'm glad you were able to make it home... good seeing you at Country Hills!

[canadian bum]

ha ha yeah anything that could go wrong did it was awesome...

[Winch]

Hey, no worries. Glad everything worked out OK. Pitty you would still have to get back in there to get to the inner seal, though. If you still have that bearing, you should post some pics. I've never seen a bearing that bad before, and to think you drove some 200Km on it, is amazing.

[BeachBoy]

I just spent $90 to get all 4 valve stems changed.

if we had that stupid u-wrench I would've paid a month one shot not using a tire shop.

Or you could have contacted me and I would have replaced them for a shake from Peters.
