    I took the pups to the G'town dog park. First trip back for Max, since he had his ACLs fixed. He was damn happy!

    Hello everyone! Fairly new to TW and glad to have found an active thread in my neck of the woods.



    Unfortunately my buddy is currently taking a break/nap in the shop due to a ball joint failure when I was driving it. Thankfully no damage or other vehicles involved, outside of the parts that need replacing it was really amazing how it was best case scenario for such a scary experience. Already ordered everything i need and anxiously awaiting for parts to arrive and get him back n action. Learning a lot and even more well rounded in my truck knowledge and how to fix stuff myself.

    Yeah definitely was a shock for me to experience it, I believe it was the LBJ but looks like the upper one came off first. Not really sure how it all happened. I can say I actually say now I drove the wheels off my truck :rofl:


    Yes I ordered everything through Toyota. Not too bad and definitely worth every penny for peace of mind knowing I’m replacing everything with OEM. Already planned on putting some TLC into the ol boy anyhow.

    I35 is like the Wild West man. You’re either doing 85 getting passed like you’re standing still or you’re actually standing still
