Thanks again Georg for helping yoyokid out with the engine. I heard his drive home with that trailer got a little 'interesting.'

Well let's say we decided to take the Grapevine Back home instead of the route around HWY 58 to HWY 14... The Climb was the typical Land Cruiser Crawl 25 to 30 MPH in second gear... LC did great no over heat no power loss just a stellar pull and we decided to pull off at Frasier Park @ the Flying J for some refreshments...
So we started back up and cleared the summit and started down the grade.... got to the last long grade into Castaic and we hit a bump / Pot Hole causing the trailer tire to lock up and send us into a wicked fish tail across lanes and shifting the Engine and trans and xfer case load... it was a wild ride... a real "E" ticket.... after getting the rig back under control and puling over to check everything and catch our breath.... we proceded slowley down the rest of the way to the old road and cruise the rest of the way home....:whoops: but we made it ....

I wish to thank Mark, Spike Strip, Georg, Steve and all the great people at the Rally in Bakersfield we met... And the Host Toyota Dealership
It was Fun and an adventure...
