Greetings from SoCal, again I think.

Hello, I'm Keith, I live in Ventura, CA a ways north of LA, thank God : ) I thought i was already a member on this forum but it has been about a decade since i was last poking around on here. I recently took a trip to Death Valley to see the moving rocks of Racetrack Playa and ended up destroying some parts on the truck, all from a very washboard road. The light bar on the front just snapped and fell half way off, had to break the other side off and toss it in the bed. Weeks later I realized that I was missing the front half of my Add-A-Leaf on the driver side. Luckily there was a recall on the leafs from Toyota so i removed the rear lift altogether and put the stock wheels back on. Now I'm kinda stuck. I really don't want to replace the setup I had since I think there are better options out there. Its gotten by for 10 years but I'd like to go with something a little more forgiving and better engineered.

This is almost the most recent pic. Apparently i haven't uploaded my Death Valley pics yet but there he is. Love my truck!!

 

Welcome to the club Keith!

 

Just entering Death Valley...


On the road to Racetrack Playa


Headed close to Badwater for gas to return home, from 190' Below Sea Level. What a trip!

 

Welcome, nice looking truck.

 

Thank you Ron and Kyle! My truck has been good to me, I'd like to return the favor. On a side note, i actually got 1 of my "pinstripes" from a bus in Santa Monica. Wheelin in the concrete jungle..

 

Yeah those things are everywhere. Seen a few of them in accidents in DTLA

 

Yeah thats why I try to avoid LA, too much going on. And if i try to pull into a parking garage i have to stop, jump out, and put the antenna down. People love that! lol

 

Yeah that sounds like a pain to have to do that every time too

 

It is but that CB saved me from many tickets blasting from coast to coast, listening to the trucker traffic on it. Followed one maniac from Houston all the way to Lake Charles, LA doing about 90!! Through a construction zone! Good times.

 

Yeah I can see that being worth the hassle then

 

Carrying my favorite load... This was from April. I drove from California to Alabama and back to visit family, and go on an epic motorcycle ride.

 

welcome!

 

Careful about mentioning velocities above posted limits on public roads The moderators no likey.

 

Looks like a sweet trip!

 

Welcome back to TW!
