Is that mud from the Ozarks? I still have lots of it in the undercarriage of my 100

Yup. That's after the first power wash.

I can vouch for that Mud Luis. I saw it first hand when Mike brought the monster by the barn the other week.

I love coming home. Got the remaining TREs and installed them. I just need an alignment now.

I also got a few goodies for the Tacoma.

Dual air compressor bracket and two Roam boxes for over the cab. Also got a new shifter not pictured.

When @CenTXFJ60 can't find the lug nut key, he'll just take the entire axle off!

Gotta love having good friends with tools and equipment.

Picked up the trailer today. Again can't thank Jimmy enough.

Changed the oil today. Noticed my drive shaft smacked my oil pan at some point.

Made it in last night. We have the entire campsite to ourselves.

So 4 bare foot dudes came out of this car.

Not sure what to make of it.

Jealous as hell! I love it there. We will be making a trip by the end of summer next year.

Trail fix.

boost leak

Plus aluminum foil

Equals a temporary fix. Will post up more details later. Enjoying the trails for now.

This place is so like the old west. I stumbled upon a literal circling of the wagons.
Not sure if I was more impressed with them or if they were more impressed with big red.

and there's Mexico

OK time to post up about the boost leak fix on the trail. It worked great while wheeling. Managed to get it to 50psi, not it's best but it could just be the elevation. About to find out if will hold for 500 highway miles.

and of course the second Aurora touched the turbo two bikers on nice BMWs show up to watch. It looked like she had been the one fixing this the whole time.

and it looks like they have an annual purge hunt here!

I thought you were going to use the foil to make a crush washer to use in-between the v-band flanges.

I did. I just made it really big and in several layers

Halfway home. Stopped for a break. So far that trail fix has held well.

I managed to get it up to 101mph towing the fully loaded trailer. I could have gone faster but I ran out of road. Don't recommend you try it at home.
