    Dude...have you not learned anything from the TFL fiasco.

    Drag it out as long as possible for clicks. Maybe they broke it, maybe they didn't, wait and see...

    TFL really broke theirs, so kudos to them, but these clickbait videos inevitably lead to "we broke it", and you find out it's just total clickbait.

    yup, the time honored you tube tradition of obscure channels piggybacking off of popular ones to get viewership up.

    It doesn’t sound like these people even have a video yet. At least put out a teaser video to get some views. Then drag it out to tell us you just broke the chin spoiler on a curb or something. :D

    Check out this video at 9:50.

    1) Driver front CV snaps.
    2) Driver front wheel barely touching the ground.


    Makes me wonder if something very similar happened to the TFL truck. I know they didn't break their CV from initial inspection, but maybe somewhere internally.

    I agree - slight reduction of accelerator and it goes in 4WD easy. I always do that. I keep wondering if TFL did not get the splines completely lined up. Speculation only. I’m glad that the light actually confirms engagement and not just ‘we sent the command’ if that makes sense. I hope we find out the real issue.

    It looked like in the video that they had already been in 4lo for a long time before the breakage.

    They probably didnt stop and check all the forum suggestions, call the dealer, and torque the lug nuts before switching to 4wd. What were they thinking?

    How could they look past their "OCD" and let mud even splash on the fenders. Its just foolishness all around.

    You should be able to drive a Toyota like a pissed off teenager for a decade before something breaks.

    No they belong to the Taco Garage YouTubers who made a post saying they broke their truck.
