I carry a spare with me but I blew through two tires. I aired down for a smoother ride and revealed all the cracks in the side walls. I was able to do some wheeling before the second tire blew out. Air lockers worked good, black box works great...
I've been reading where a lot of the nicer LCs are heading South of the Boarder, unwillingly. The OP can ask their Insurance Company to check Flock Camera data. They do this all the time.

I don’t know how to link, but copy and paste that. It’s pretty common. A lot of info in that thread.
While it was here we also did a 00-06 Tundra front brake upgrade, added a 80 series brake booster with 91-92 Mc, a set of our 4-degree caster shims, and a full set of Bilstein shocks. We also removed a leaf from the front springs to account for...
I started seriously thinking about a "new" motor for this 60 several years ago. The current 2F was rebuilt by a local shop that's no longer in business, and to their credit did a good job because this motor has just over 300k on it and doesn't...
It's been a little while and I realized I haven't been updating like I told myself I would.
I have a few things to talk about. First, everything went back together well with the brakes, hubs, and suspension.
One thing that I noticed was I...
Orikawa tailgate panel installed. Didn’t have as much difficulty with the well nuts this time. I dig it.
Ready for some action. I’m gonna gain a little altitude this weekend.
Replaced sway bar end links with new extended ones from @TRAIL TAILOR . I think the old ones may have been original. The bushings were hard/brittle/cracked/deformed, and the links did not match Clifford's lifted geometry. Both sides were worn to...
Or in billet aluminum from @TRAIL TAILOR

While I was at it, I hit 500 miles on the new gears. Changed the rear differential oil, mag looked good. Changed the trans oil and filter. Installed a new trans pan and the original temp sensor/switch. I also replaced the trans shifter shaft...
230 came early this morning. Got the chassis rolling. Coils came in and got the coilovers assembled. Need to change the pitman arm. Had to weld a sway link bracket on the axle. Maxed out my jack (21") and still have 4.5" of up travel left on...
Some additional photos. Also took the smog/air pump and pulley assembly out. I don’t plan on doing the devane, so it’s staying out. And pulled the EGR cooler.
x2 on the air chisel. I cut a X in the rivet head, as close to the frame as you can get without cutting into the frame. Then air chisel the rest of the head off. They pop right off pretty easy.
