    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Replaced wheels bearings, axle seals, abs tone rings, sensors, ball joints, steering rack bushings, tie rod ends, alignment, rear wheel bearings, cleaned brake pads, adjusted brakes...lots of little things after taking that hit on the side. But all small things that matter a lot. Not as fun as...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Budget build Suzuki

    What a cool Suzi! I had one years ago while working as a guide in Costa Rica and loved it. It would never ever get stuck, even if we tried! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    #12 update... Bought it back as salvage. Found door and quarter panel that will be installed and painted. (Dinged up emblem looks awesome, by the way) new ball joints, bearings, axles, rear sensor, rear springs and weighing out costs for tires and sliders. It took the beating just fine and will...

    Update on #0012 Damn near total loss amount, but to be honest, no shops seem to want to work on it. Its not easy finding new parts on a 2000, apparently. I'm pressing the adjuster to buy back and take to a different mechanic or get him over to see the other mechanic that has a part truck of my...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It may be totaled due to bent frame/rocker, but insurance will be letting me know. It's not easy finding a 4Runner with lockers, so I'll go with "fix" over "total" if I can. But, the Dodge Ram that hit it was towed off and I drove to the body shop. We'll see. Besides, if it's totaled, their...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I took #0012 to the Body Shop because a guy was texting and driving and sideswiped it while parked in front of my office on a near empty street! There's a chance it may be totalled out, as the rocker is all wonky now. Really bummed, for a truck I've only had 5 months. #12 may look different in...

    @Glen and @Coach - I always dug those (now considered "older) Disco's with that roof line and little window up in the back. Very cool. Glen, nice find on the TD5! Very cool Rovers you guys have got!

    <p>@Steven -what a great idea to use a paracord as an extra grab handle. Works, and there if needed. 👌</p>
