Alaska BS thread

Yeah, I was going to disconnect the sway bar completely but I couldn't get the end off the bar itself. Getting it off the lower control arm is easy but I couldn't get it off the bar.

 

I know! I've got all these new suspension tire and armor upgrades and I'm itching to try them out.

 

Hey we're at 100 pages of bs!!

 

So I finally fixed my headlights, and now after this weekends wheeling trip my shroud has fallen off inside the headlight assembly


Edit: this was my 5,000 post! Whoa!

 

So I got the truck a little dirty today after shooting my bow

From 30+ yards




On the way back I saw this epic fail

 

Like a boss!

 

Haha nice. I spent 2 hours digging/pushing my friends element up an icy hill slightly larger than a speed bump over the winter.

 

they were like I'm an element I got this hahahha

 

I'm think of doing a 3uzfe swap. Or 2jzgte

You sure it's the front? Sounds like a u joint to me. Or CB bearing.

 

Well when I say front, I really just mean from the rear axle forward lol. I still think its coming from the front end, but we'll see. I'll get it Back from the shop tomorrow so maybe it'll be fixed. New tie rod ends and rack bushings plus an alignment may cure some of it.

 

Hahaha. When i bought my taco i was trying to play it all cool and act like i didnt want it THAT bad to get a better price.....(i was buying a taco one way or another. It had been decided YEARS ago) In the process the sales guy tried to sell me an element "hey, you can hose the inside out!" Ummmm. No dude, tacos are far superior

 

No LS7?

 

Took the family up to the interior for the holiday weekend! First trip out with the pull behind camper. Truck pulled pretty good, but holy smokes did it burn fuel climbing the mountains. Lol

 

So, the place we went to was mile 40 of Chena Hotsprings Road. I WAS wanting to go to Chena Lake recreation area, but part of our group got up there the day ahead and picked this place. Everything went great until around 8:00am sunday morning when one of our group came pounding on the door saying water was rushing in. AND HOLY SMOKE was it RUSHING in! We tore shit down fast as we could, tossed unfolded tents in the camper and everything else we could fit and barely made it out of there before the water got too high. It was actually nerve racking. All i could think of was getting my baby girl out of there quick. naturally the water was rushing in from the only direction we had to get out of our camp site. the water climbed to with in feet of my truck and camper in less than 10 minutes and was still pouring in. Was rushing over part of the road a short ways down as well, atleast 4 inches. actually had quite a lot of resistance driving the truck through it (of course i was pulling the weight anyway). We ended up heading in to North Pole (my old stomping ground), met Santa Clause, and while the rest of the group wanted to drive 3 or 4 hours down the highway back towards Anchorage to find new camp, we split ways and went straight to Chena. haha. it was sunny and 80 degrees. didnt want to spend the better part of day just driving.

Thats my little adventure this past weekend. We plan to head to Chena again later this year when the lake is thawed completely.

 

that's crazy! Glad everyone made it out okay

 

Sounds like a pretty crazy trip man. Glad y'all made it out safe

 

Nah ill take the 4.3 Lexus v8 and supercharger it

 

That's crazy man! Glad you made it safely. Nice setup you have there

 

So I convinced a co-worker to buy a toyota. he'd been set on buying a dodge, but me and another co-worker got him to buy an FJ instead. So now we have one tacoma, two FJs, and a tundra at work haha. It's starting to look like a Toyota dealership out there.

 

atta boy! Haha
