    Those tires look pretty good to have been melted...

    Made it 77 miles and blew all 4 CV boots, lost all brakes.
    Was going 80mph when it happened and had to use engine braking to get the truck to stop safely.
    Got stuck in Huntington Beach for the night with the truck and took it to @toyotahuntingtonbeach
    Not only did they fix everything for me, replace all the boots and clamps, my brake pads and calipers but they also knocked out my 20k maintenance.

    Got the truck to them at 11am
    Was on the road by 3pm

    Still got some work to do here in California with the truck before I can head back to Kentucky but it's getting there slowly

    Any clue as to why all the boots blew and brakes were lost?

    Glad you're safe and here to tell the story! Finish picking the upholstery from your ass and get back at it!

    Why are you getting rid of the Baja kit? Also I would highly recommend total chaos +2 kit.

    I'll tell anyone who wants to know about my reason for taking their kit off, but I'm not going to be unprofessional or rude. At least to the best of my ability

    Scratches, dents, lots of squeaks.
    Where are you staying while all this is getting done?
