Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Thats not a pick-n-pull yard. Big difference. I assume those 'regular' wrecking yards usually out-bid the pnp yards for the more desireable wrecks.

 

If you guys tell the guy in the Rancho yard 4Runner Mafia sent you he'll give you a discount.

 

Eric, did anyone contact you? I was last to come off the trail and just got reception in Arnold. Not heading back to the camp.

 

No, didn't hear back. Toy Connection closed at 3:00, so that option went away.

 

Carnage at Slickrock:

@tacomgee - driveshaft
@EL BOOGIE - driveshaft
@Fernando - CV
@jAndyMendo - swaybar link broke and punctured cv boot

Also a lot of dented skids and bumpers, especially @Gply

I hit every piece of armor, broke a valve stem, and dented my driveshaft.

Slickrock is no joke and the guys who ran it before said its harder than last year.

Good times though!

 

Whaaat! 3 driveshafts! All on the same spot on the trail? Or different?

And any clue what the plan was with getting Blake out?

Nice pics btw!

 

Blake and I are in angels camp. Gonna get to my house in sac and let him take my driveshaft so he can get home.

 

Edit: Blake snapped his driveshaft on a different part of the trail yesterday.

Robin (@EL BOOGIE ) took the hard line at the waterfall and wrecked his driveshaft. I took an easier route, but flailed up the waterfall like a salmon on the way to spawn. Took bad lines and 3.73 gears with the 6-speed was tough. Traction issues too. I need some MT's.

Fun fact: Tacoma driveshafts have a decent diameter. That's so they can stuff the maximum amount of used toilet paper rolls in there. They're filled with cardboard.

 

I can go get Blake? I can take a trailer and tow him home from Sac.

 

Cardboard? Really?!

Does this means a new 1 piece makes more sense?

 

Yeah, Blake probably has pics.

Don't know if a 1 piece would hang too low. I had some vibes on the way home and need to replace it. Thinking of having a driveline shop make a stronger 2nd 1/2. Then strap the dented one to the frame next to the exhaust.

 

So I bought a Sig 2022 today. Kind of excited.

 

Thanks, I let Blake call the shots on this and he's just gonna roll out with my drive shaft.

 

Many thanks to all that helped in finding a driveshaft! TW really stepped up. At @916TacoTruck 's house waiting on towtruck, and going to swap driveshaft and drive home to rosa. Will post up more when home later
Here's a quick pick of the driveshaft in question.....

 

Nice! I've got one in .40 and love it!

 

This is Blakes drive shaft

 

Goddam @tacomgee thats some carnage!

 

Blake just left my house and is on his way home. Thanks to all that helped out on the trail and those at home that did what they could to get Blake a DS. NorCal TW is the fuckin best.

 

Damn. Sounds like quite a day
