At the last minute I changed my mind and took the 4Runner. Two primary reasons: 1. Heat and 2. Parker. Well that and I wanted to play with my new toy. I drove it out to KS Rocks, wheeled, and drove it back.
It was for the most part, uneventful. I aired down, and locked the lockouts, like clockwork. Biggest issue was the loose nut behind the wheel. For example, the first hill I attempted I watched one rig head up and have issues at the top. The next rig had less issue in the same location. I stared up and never made it to where they were having issues. Heck I barely made 10’ up. Duah. Lockers! Hit the ARBs, rear and front and still nothing. Backed down, went to a lower T-Case, with lockers and tried again. Same result. Back down again. Lower T-Case again. Same result. WTF? A quick scan across the dash and the issue is resolved. Not in 4x4.
No carnage to speak of. New pen stripes rubbing from passenger second door handle to the tail light. Thank God for the hoops protecting the tail lights. It rubbed hard enough to pull the paint off the hoop. New chalk marks on front and rear axles, rear drive shaft and rear lower arms.
