    im actually going to run my compressor to under the hood so it will free up drawer space. Maybe even crank the coilovers a touch to get it sitting straight since its finally settled a bit. All before satan sticks its dick out.

    Shit if I wasn't going wheeling, I wouldn't be doing work on the 4Runner. It's too humid for me to do that. I tried to do shit the past two days but it was at the point where you'd go outside and it'd be sticky from the humidity.

    Ah shit, new house?

    Congrats on that but that'll definitely put a damper on time for anything not house related

    I have to replace my driver side caliper this weekend. Gonna try and spend as little time outside as possible. Humidity is miserable.

    Tundra. One of the Pistons is siezed. Napa lifetime warranty got me a new one for free, just an inconvenience having to change it and bleed the brakes.

    Well last night got interesting real quick. Went for a short night run and found these guys walking, ask if they are okay and they said it’s on its roof. I thought they were joking and they said no it’s on it’s roof. They got in @MattJakobs car and we found the car.
    After talking I was feeling generous and we helped em. Made it better,then made it worse(rolled it again with dude in driver seat) then eventually back on its wheels.
    Then I told the dude to start it and if it did drive until it blows up because it was leaking oil and everything else.
    This fucker not only started but drove all the way off the trail to the parking lot.

    If I am ever gonna do that again a winch would be necessary. Sketchy as hell with only tow straps.

    What trail did they roll on? That thing looks like it's not equipped to be out there at all, especially with street tires.

    Seems like lots of people roll out there too at uhwarrie.

    Everytime I run into land rovers off road they're doing something dumb it seems...

    added track to be able to strap down my cooler and shit. Last few trips they've been a bit tippy.

    was the last few trips over the rocks. and when you man up and catch some air, cargo likes to practice gravity.
