June 8th -- Return to the Pits -- Hardrock

Thanks, I hope so too. It was a great time and you're right about Thomas. Great guy and a great guide/noob instructor.

 

Nah, I unlocked them right before I came over there where you were using the water hose. I didn't notice anything funny when I did. I really doubt it's anything like a broken hub or something. At least I hope not. If I'm breaking driveline stuff like that on stock-sized AT tires, then it's gonna be ugly when I go to 33" Swampers (not to mention Lincoln Locking the front end).

 

Very true

 

Heh, good news. It was a small piece of glass caught between the back of the rotor and the dust shield on the right front. All fixed.

Hard to believe such a tiny little thing was causing all that racket. I think the Taco just wanted some TLC after being beat on Saturday.

 

that's what she said

 

Haha!! Good one!

 

I went ahead and washed the truck Sunday and it took me two hours just to get the outside clean also I took the decals off the rims and I think it looks alot better without them on

 

Wow, 2 hrs. I guess that's one benefit I had having an hour and a half drive through a heavy down pour to get home. There was no mud or anything off-road related under my truck when I was under it this morning. Still have yet to wash the outside and clean out the inside. Was kinda thinking that I might just leave it. The dirt looks better than my crappy paint. Though I was planning on cleaning the inside tomorrow. You got a bunch of mud on my floorboard. Of course, I got mud all over everything else inside when we scratch and dig our way through that mystery hole and I didn't roll up my window until we were nearly all the way through it. I also have to reposition my toolbox. It shifted back on one side.

Your truck really does look good though.

 

Thanks man and it was the first time I've actually washed the truck in a couple of months so some of the mud and grim didn't wanna come off and I'm not looking forward to cleaning my interior when I get home this weekend it'll probably take me half the day to do it I tend to armorall everything

 

Thomas have you had a chance to do any editing on the footage you took

 

No I'm a lazy bastard
I don't have alot of footage ... Will do it tonight

 

Haha, I was thinking about asking the same thing, but I didn't want to sound pushy.

Got a few folks that wanna see. Like you said Thomas, if there's no pics then it didn't happen, lol.

 

Man, when the prerunner was chargin up the hill out of A-pit and we fishtailed, I could of sworn that we hit your gopro!

 

Got it on video

Not my best work but something to look at ..to proove you were there

DONE

 

It was close ...but thats what makes for the best shot

 

Thanks!

Heh, other than my virgin climb there in the beginning, I didn't even know you got that other footage of my truck. Seems to flex pretty well for having shot-out springs. Didn't see it pull any tires off the ground going through that last set of washouts. (edit: correction, I think I did see it pull the right rear off the ground at the beginning of the washout. Hard to tell though.)

Will there be pics too when you get to it?

 

This is all .. No pics

 

I drove around today until I located the spot you speak of
