    Most trucks won't have an issue, the 4Runners don't have any problem, though some of their tires look like they are ready to go into a small slide based on how their sidewalls look.
    The last photo is the only one I got where its at its worst for 2nd gens, my driver side would be even further :bananadead:

    I would have got a better one of Mike, but he was the first one across and I couldn't not stare and think "FUCK THIS" while Kyle was spotting him.

    are you saying i'm a shitty spotter? WTF man. haha I hated spotting everyone through that SOB. In spots like that, I really only want to spot my buddies who understand the risks. I would feel like a complete ass and blame myself cause I clearly failed as the spotter if something happened.

    What? No, you did a good job, I'm talking about a hypothetical spotter that would lead to my truck being totalled. And t

    I think you need a break from work, you're misinterpreting things bud. :) on that note, I'm currently looking at the Sierras for next weekend, might change though

    And to put things in perspective, I met you 6hr or so before you were in charge of keeping my truck from sliding off that ledge, talk about putting a lot of trust in a stranger. :p like everyone said you did a damn good job, especially keeping the twitchy kid from sliding off.

    Don't be a pussy. :rofl:

    I think it's worse with a longer wheel base since the rear end arcs closer to the ledge. With a shorter wheel base you can keep the rear closer to the wall before, during, and at the end of working the passenger front tire around the corner.

    I don't think pucker pass is that bad. Just gotta take the correct line really slow.

    That might be the last obstacle you would want to be drunk on. My offroading resume isn't as long or as impressive @MonkeyProof but Pucker Pass is also at the top of my hate list along with Tomichi Pass in Colorado.

    I really wasn’t butt hurt just giving everyone shit. But really. Spotting people you just met is also just a sketchy as being spotted by someone you just met.

    I’ll see if I can go next weekend but I highly Doubt it because work is still crazy busy. I my not be able to get out until June.

    Plus something In my truck is broken again.... still don’t know what. I think I have it isolated to the front ADD axle tube, front diff or t case.

    Maybe put your truck on jackstands in 4HI and start spinning shit and see where the noises are coming from. Sounds weird, I think with people that have ADD issues it just doesn't do anything at all

    I need two more jack stands to do that. Only have two out here. That’s my next move. It doesn’t matter if it’s in 4 wheel drive or 2 wheel drive.

    ADD tube or actuator is shot. Put the front on jack stands, Pulled the rear drive shaft and ran it in 4 wheel drive and the front tires don’t spin. Engaged my front locker and the driver tire spins just fine. And no noises. So the front diff, t case and cvs are fine. ADD Axle tube is shot or the actuator. Which really sucks cause the actuator was replaced in AUG 2017. So not even a year outta this one. Yes bought new OEM from Toyota. Time for a FJ non disconnect tube.

    Pulled the actuator. Lost half my brand new fluid. Opened up the actuator. Look at the corrosion and the water sitting I. The housing. This was new 8 months ago...
