Good luck!! looking forward to seeing the pictures and videos

 

How are you going to test the rear bumper?

 

@Tacoguayaco will have his on by then so he’ll be our R&D subject lol

 

I'm going with or without it lol

 

Guess I dont make the cut for this one yet! Hopefully next year! Have fun!

 

Thank goodness you’re coming! We need a body man on site for this event. I’ll bring my wood block and brass hammer again .

no lies, the hood has zero flutter now and the gaps are minty! Appreciate your help with that, didn’t realize you could bend shit like that and make it work, thought it was way more fragile work.

 

Believe it or not when those hinges seize those hoods really warp up ,the hood on my 4runner almost bent in half, just put some really good oil on the hinges it'll help

 

I’m going to clean the shit out of it and oil the heck out of it. Try and keep up on washing and oiling it. Will get its first wash of the year after Ardbeg. Ironically will be the first wash since the last cleanup.

 

might be worth investing in one of these

Well I've done this trail with my other trucks and I don't think, my Tacoma in the condition its in ( not re geared) is a good idea to take it there. its too hard on the clutch with 37's and not re geared. while i can get away with it for most trails, for greens I'm going to say no. Yes greens is short but I'll be playing within my limits for this one.
just like other years seems everything else is coming before my regear so I'm going to have to humbly bow out of the Yotacrawl this year.

Dude, you have to come!

 

Greens huh?

 

I believe it’s just @CaygeonRunner @Tacoguayaco myself with @Therby leading the way.

Weather is showing some good rain starting today all the way to Sunday.
