    Also, my AC stopped working. As soon as it only blew out hot air only, we took off. Sorry to ditch without saying good bye but it was 108° according to the truck.....

    A man named Navi, unsure of how to spell it. He had some hose issues so he couldn’t run the motor towing him out he got stuck in the one water/mud crossing. The tow rig was a 2WD couldn’t yank him out an so we winched him till the Chevy could pull him the rest of the way..they got stuck on another hill so 5 people hopped in the bed an @GoddardPool, his lil bro Marco, an I pushed the Lexi from behind an they were able to make it. Was great team work.

    Great investment I have a smittybilt it performed good considering the condition we were in. Warn An mile marker are better for sure but without it today one of the other guys would have had to come help us out.

    Attaboy! Good for you for going practical. Why waste money on a winch that will be used seldomly. Wenches are used much more frequently :rofl:

    Smart idea..get the part number for your rearend an when you have the funds wait till eBay has one of their sales. I saved over 150 by doing it this route an @Texoma is the man to install it if your can make the drive he did it in less than 4 hours. A shop would charge you way more.

    Hey, anyone got a good tire shop they use, not named Discount Tire/NTB/etc...? I'm putting some new meats on my scoot trailer, and am so done with DT. The knucklehead I was working with online, through the Tundra forum I am no longer a member of, got the tires in, but failed to tell me he was in the P'ville store. Nobody got time to drive over there... He then reordered them, and had them sent to the store I asked for originally, 1431/Parmer. Or.... so I thought, when I pulled up last Friday, pulled the old ones out of the truck, and stood in line for 10 minutes. "Well, sir? Those tires are at Parmer and 35, did you want to go over there?". F no? No word from them on Saturday, so Amazon it is, and I'll have someone not in a national chain slap them on.

    Always had good luck at the Bee caves DT, but that's too far from me now. Just mount em up yourself with some starter fluid and fire :D

    That's right, no need for starter fluid there, just use a small piece of human flesh, since it seems to spontaneously combust in this weather. :eek:
