    Too much to list, but enough to get me in trouble. Repeatedly.
    Also, as far as getting home: The truck and I are going home together. Period. All the windows are down and unable to go back up, and even if not, the rear driver window is smashed. I have several thousand dollars' worth of gear in and on the truck, much of it irreplaceable, and I'm not leaving it out of my sight.

    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    Sorry I wasn't trying to say it couldn't be. And the oil makes into the manifold from vents etc since its never supposed to have gravity that way. That's lame.. sorry to hear

    Not to be dick but how come you do not have Triple A card with all the off roading expo's you do?? 100 bucks gets you 200 miles for free and events like this you would be golden.

    I myself have tripe A platinum and I know they two for free up two like 200 miles but does that include being off a paved highway? I understand Shane is recovered and all, and his friend is getting him, but would a triple A truck gone off road to tow him back to twin? Jusfu curious for my own sake...

    Well its good he got out but I never would wheel my truck there. I bought a foreman so I could use it hard off road and not to mention its cheaper to fix if something breaks.
