Haha, I drove it into a rock.
I was creeping down the trail looking at a map instead of the trail. Goodthing I was only going turtle speed 🤣 I still had to use the front locker to back up.
Other than that I used it to get where I wanted to...
Over the past month due to broken bolts, seized parts, and parts on back order from Toyota. Finished up the rear axle and parking brake rebuild, Landtank extended rear lower control arms, Dobinsons adjustable rear upper control arms, Dobinsons...
Another Death Valley adventure in the books.
Mengal Pass. Baker Ranch. Lake Manly. Traveller monument/Soda Lake closed. Kelso Dunes.
The trails were damp, and not super dusty which was great. Lots of desert bloom.

Installed one of those fancy rearview camera mirrors. Nice little upgrade since any bit of cargo in the back means your rearview mirror is useless most of the time. This one is the Wolfbox G900 with 4k front camera and 2.5k rear camera. Screen...
Taking another down to get rebuilt. 468k on original bottom end. Head was done at 250 for preventative maintenance. Cross hatching still visible! Will see what the bottom end looks like.
Dug it out and drove it.
Usually I get to have a little fun and get it stuck before I have to dig it out. Digging the rig from a storm sucks 😠 I need a garage asap
Installed a stage 3 camshaft from kelford on my 80!
