Let’s talk about more Dog, first. Please excuse the photos, lunched my Pixel6 Pro this week and dug out an old iPhone 11pro.Congrats on making the leap, I did myself about 6 years ago for reasons similar to what you described. Tell us more about the shop.
And that freaking foot in the air out of the water is hilarious, like a diver with a diver down flag.
As GSMTR creeps up on us, I started getting worried about the ARBs not showing up in time. Hearing ‘two weeks’ for two months is inexcusable, so I grabbed what I could and an ARB rear and Eaton front showed up at the door with some SuperPro goodies for EVERYTHING up front.
With stuff piled up, I found a stopping point on a 4runner in for some wheel seals and such and found my blown up front diff and quickly realized I done effed up; carrier caps were just tossed inside the box with the GRENADED carrier and my heart sank a little. I REALLY didn’t wanna tie up the lift for this job, and I DOUBLE REALLY didn’t wanna do it on the ground. And I already popped the Nitro Gear 4.88 ring gear on the Eaton. Sigh.
No BS, I go grab a pair of Circle K’s finest bargain dogs (smoked Gouda links, 2/$3.50) and a six pack and decide to clean up and wait for parts when I get back with my eye on getting some paws in the water when my phone dings with a text about a free core front diff in Corpus from a fellow 100 owner. Stars aligned, and I found myself with two pitbulls at the QT fueling and airing up because I’ve been dailying this thing on 17psi. Some days I wanna buff out the pinstripes, other days I wanna make a sticker for the back that says “follow me for more body damage!”
Core acquired! Time for some beach action with the Boys as I haven’t been to this beach since the Zebra striped 55 was alive. It’s where and what I learned to drive in. And as far as I know, the boys have never been, so like COTR last fall, I found myself driving to a place I hold dear in my heart with my best friends in the world.
