With the 4Runner lifted again, and me having a few bad weeks, I really wanted to get out in the woods for a bit...
I don't have much pictures of the days events I was riding solo in my truck (still with a group though)
we had just finished lunch and were on our way up a black trail
(green = mild stockish)
(blue = need some lift and tires)
(black = get ready for some dents)
(red = if you're not locked F&R on 40s don't try)
The begging of the trail is easy and then there is an 'S' turn before the real tough stuff, still has some intricately placed rocks.
Well I picked a bad line and this was the outcome:
That is the tire shoved into the body.....
This is what was the result of my damages:
I don't have other pictures of the one other failure, I bent driver side rear shock housing and the bottom of the passenger rear shock actually split from the body....
I broke at the most deepest part of the park, and with the pinion sheared the truck would only roll in reverse cause when put in drive and go forward the pinion would drop and lock up the rear.
I backed my truck up 3 miles of up hill rough terrain, it was NOT fun...
Needless to say I have a LOT of work ahead of me
