You or your truck?

 

Haha ya behind you guys! That’s when I got serious and the straps came out

 

Awesome pics man!

 

In case anyone is interested, this is the zero-gravity chair I used. Pretty wind-resistant: http://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/for-living-zero-gravity-chair-grey-0881917p.html It sometimes goes on sale. Be sure to get the version with the polyurethane webbing and not the "text-weave" fabric, which tears easily.

 

Truck please

Looks like you guys had an amazing weekend. Wish I could have been there.

 

Damage so far:

• Lost a plastic push-clip on each of my rear mudflaps.
• Small dent on the front bumper glacis plate from the second offshoot climb on the south trail.
• A new humming sound that increases proportional to wheel speed, noticed on the drive out on Bunny Trail. Might be from me inadvertently leaving the parking brake engaged while making the climb that gave me the above dent on the bumper lol.

 

I had a weird hummmmm from playing in that sand pit weeks ago. It would only humm when I was on it going from 40 ~ 60 KMH, and I was hard on it.

Found 5 lbs of sand and rocks on my exhaust/transmissin skid plate. Removed with the compressor in the Sault at the Bushplane museum in the parking lot and it went away instantly.

 

I haven't really looked but haven't felt any issues in driving

I did a quick look at the rear pumpkin just to be sure and no issues.

 

^I had A-Trac activate on that climb (I guess for the front wheels). Not sure how everything interacts with the parking brake and rear locker engaged at the same time. So far everything seems to function fine: Parking brake can hold the truck stationary with the transmission in "D" or "R". With parking brake released, truck will roll down my driveway slope in "N".

 

Finally ordered something to replace my bumper from the accident.

 

Remember kids, dont play under tree's in a wind storm

The wife and I got back from walmart, and I needed something out of the shed. Went back there for 2 minutes and the wind storm was just deciding to change into a new gear.

I heard a creek, decided I should GTFO and by the time I was up on the deck at the house, this is what it looked like behind me.


Lucky AF

 

No damage. The same squeeks that have remained from Swisha. I'm tired of spraying grease on the leaf pack.

 

are you sure its the pack and not the bushings?
Mine is the bushings and its even worse now. they suck when they're dirty

 

Welp, my problem will take longer to rectify - wheel bearing went out:



Maybe Toyota will advertise it as a feature - "active toe control"

 

at least its front.
they're pretty easy to do as you can get the whole assembly
@tacoma16 got one and lent it to @NeonHeights

wasn't that bad to change. probably easier than pulling it and pressing in a new bearing.

 

They aren't hard to change... about an hour or so start to finish.
