What do you guys think? Haha. So here's the story. One of our work trucks, all original parts, 115k miles or so. 95% of the miles are on dirt roads. Ruts, washboards, all that good stuff. Lower ball joint just randomly popped out and then the gnar happened. Tore things up pretty good. Just thought I would share. So maintenance your damn vehicles! Haha.

And I actually got rid of my GLI back in December. I just needed a truck and 4x4. Tried to buy a new Tundra, but no 4x4's on the lot. Tried to buy a new 4Runner, but no 4x4 on the lot. Retarded. Ended up buying a 09 Nissan Titan 4x4 Crew Cab. Its actually an awesome truck. Tons of room, tons of power. Good stuff. Threw a level kit on it, tinted the windows, got exhaust, and threw a set of 34" BFG A/T's on it. Maybe someday I will get crazy with it. We'll see.

a bit of bailing twine and 6" of duct tape would get it rolling again :D

Moved for the time being. We are all living with the mother-in-law right now. Buying a house back in Tehachapi and living here til escrow closes. Just saving money. Its a short sale too so we could be here for a little while. Hopefully not too long though.

Oh yeah? Did my 4Runner become famous or something? Haha. And I miss the GLI, it was a good car. The only reason I sold it was because I actually needed 4x4 and a truck.
