Starting point is checking the fluids. You probably didn't hydrolock the engine.
White smoke can be condensation and not coolant, so from what you're saying, it sounds like you're jumping to conclusions. There are tons of places to lose coolant...
Registered and very much looking forward to the great weekend ahead. Bringing my 11 year old son (his 1st Relic Run). He is currently into photography so I told him to pack the Nikon and take rig pics. He is hoping to get a shot in Toyota...

@Hokie LX found me a sick deal on a set of 37" bfg ats not long ago. 18 months old or so, and still have the nipples on them. A set of 5 for a grand. I'm a fan. They fit the truck way better than the old 315s.
After those went on I was...
another option is to get a jockey box. The keg doesn't have to be chilled, just the coils in the box. Mine is similar to the one below, you are welcome to try it out if you like.
The next night @NookShneer came in late and explored with us after a few hours sleep. It was super great to see him. It had been since SAS last summer.
We explored some really cool washes and a few mines! It was a great time.
The...
The next night we camped above the Rhyolite ghost town.
We went to the Racetrack Playa which was a crazy long drive on a super bumpy 27mi long road (each way). I was so thankful for the @torfab coil suspension. It was amazing…very...
I haven’t heard of this before, interesting. I just chalked it up to bad luck, plus these bearings are super cheap, the only option out there is like $8.
I didn't think of it till now, but I've read that the input thrust bearings can die during low speed use in these transmissions due to lack of lubing. Apparently a fix is to overfull by a quart.
I put an extra quart in through the shift tower...
So I have done nothing to literally nothing to this truck since October when I fixed the brakes, and only driven it a few times since I picked up a more comfortable car to DD.
Even though I completely went through everything before my...
Got back towards savannah and heard quite the bearing whinning noise from the transmission/transfer case, limped it back and pulled it apart the next weekend to figure out what was up, pulling the transmission in the barracks parking lot was not...
Made some progress today. also ordered new body mount bushings, and some lizard skin products. going to lay down some sound deadening, then heat control, then cover it with some raptor liner as a top coat on the underside.
