    Oh god.
    Pretty soon I'll be replacing my headliner with felt just to stick patches to it


    And before you know it I'll have a bunch of max tracks, wear nothing but khaki and be over landing every second of my life

    Don't do it kids, not worth it


    Also the best part is for me it'd be "keep calm and crawl on the ground to pull the actuator rr diff lock"

    I don't know why I was so dumb, for years I'd jack the truck up on the high lift and put it in N to spin the wheels when i wanted to slide the rack and lock the diff...why I didn't just have someone put the truck in reverse and drive back 2 ft is beyond me. I did that in Moab this year.. Way easier

    Bassman may be right... this is my first patch. I told myself just the one... but I've seen a couple that make me want to rethink it.

    "Overland Rated"

    It'll be fine, I'll cure myself by putting on my new trail stickers I got from Moab for actually rock crawling and I'll be all right in the world

    • Brake shoe help
    My rear brake shoes are done. Toyota dealer wants 04495-35230 $80

    Is that a full kit? Is oem recommended?

    Rock auto is $20 for shoes

    Trying to figure out the price discrepancy

    Is aftermarket ok or is oem recommended?

    o_O I’ve only heard great things about Rock Auto. The brake shoes last forever too. There will be no sub for Toyota quality :woot:, but you’ll have to decide if the price is worth it. Most times I can’t fork over the extra $$.

    What do y’all think... @Speedytech7 , @mechanicjon :notsure:

    @IDtrucks use pine sap, or a nail gun.

    He did however have the smarts to wear a helmet when we rode with @dakotasyota when he jumped his truck. I on the other hand was not smart enough to wear this and was responsible for holding down the sub next to me. :anonymous:

    I would have if I knew! Too bad you three camped so far from the party like hermits. :p I gotta admit I was jealous that you had a basically non-existent pack up time on the Kokopelli compared to the rest of us.
