    I'm not sure which question is more relevant - how they got onto the side of a mountain or how you're getting them down?

    They do whatever it takes to get to where they need to go, but always seem to need help getting back in Situations like this.

    We got my buddy down to them and brought them up one at a time, and then pulled said friend back to the up.

    ‘‘twas a sketchy bitch
    Quite a ways to the bottom of the cliff, kinda see it here in the bottom left B0406230-D032-4D39-AD9F-BC0838175CB7.jpg

    I did essentially the same thing... Just drove my mall crawler back and forth to work... even more miles beyond my scheduled oil change... and laundry list of other maintenance items being pushed off due to wedding projects for my daughter's wedding.

    i think it was only for 2nd gens. If it were for first, it would have to include the spindle (2WD / 4wd, abs, non-abs, gussetted........)

    You are correct. That was for 2nd gen. We 1st Genners are the only ones that get the joy of actually having to press bearings out of the spindles. 2nd and 3rd just get to unbolt them lol.

    Much more than a mall truck...

    Congrats to the daughter on the upcoming knot tying. Good times. Shall we take wagers on you breaking down during your speech? :thumbsup:

    Ordered up a Borla ProXS pn#40664 muffler.. today!

    [​IMG]

    My truck came with a raspy old custom flowmaster knock off muffler with some high speed drone tone and was thinking to go stock style to quiet it up originally. But oddly I started getting used to this truck being a bit noisy in the city and enjoying some sounds to make it sound faster than it is! Thought this Borla should sound better, at least according to the youtube videos I heard.

    Supposedly this flows as good as their race mufflers but without the extra loud growl, guess I'll see, err hear for myself. They even tout their mufflers flow better than a straight pipe, so I guess I will be shredding Mustangs and Camaros in no time... haa!

    In sadder Tacoma World news, I got an email from LCE saying their 2.4 superchargers don't say TRD on the manifolds anymore.. deal breaker huh?!

    They get a hold of them sometimes, had a dog get it’s head broke over Christmas break. Stopped the bleeding and got him to town and checkout by the vet, couple weeks later and he was ready to go again.
    Pretty obvious after you see it

    I know that's the norm for you but having a bunch of dogs to chase a wild animal in it's territory to make money off them is still fucked up to me. Your dogs take all the risk, as the hunter you do not. And I have plenty of friends who hunt deer/turkey/ducks. But what do I know.

    It’s what they were breed to do and have been for hundreds if not thousands of years. Everyone has an opinion and that’s fine.

    I just want to see you get in a knife fight with a cat. Then you win my approval. :duel:
