I can't figure it out either. Was thinking pipe for hammering out rear bearings but he has an 80 series. So I'm lost
Sage advice from an old-timer. It isn't a fight unless you cover yourself in grease and have a steel pipe.
Okay, with that out of the way, is there a go-to tire guy around? Rather than wait for my relatively new tires to wear out, the Sequoia could use them and I am going to 33". My experience has typically been Firestone Complete or Discount Tire. Is 285/75-16 the right size for stock height?

A good officer at the GPD is in need of some help. This was completely unexpected and has put her and her 2 small kids in a serious bind. If you can contribute anything or just pass the word around I will be forever grateful. If this goes against the rules admin please delete it.

We finished the 79 Fj40 Friday. Rion picked it up yesterday. So we have a new cruiserhead in Greenville.
That's always hard to read and learn about. Many of these accidents could be avoided or the severity reduced with something as simple as proper training. Not saying the guys who had the accident were not trained, just in general, a great upgrade to anyone doing more "wheeling" is to upgrade the nut behind the wheel. This place below offers lots of classes in Uwharrie, and there are many other places too that can not only save your rig, but save your life too.

Always a good reminder. Seatbelts are the beginning of several things we can take for granted or neglect if we don't bring it up occasionally. Vehicle related checklists commonly list properly anchored batteries, fire extinguishers, stocked first aid kits, etc. This is why I created the ICE forms as well. ICE ICE Baby To Izzy's point, knowledge as well.

Seat belts in that case would have probably killed both of them. And it's very possible they both were wearing them. Also saw were some people said a rollcage and harness would have saved them. In this case a 600ft drop tumble into rocks and trees nothing could have prevented that. That's 2 football field drops down a mountain of rocks and trees off cliffs. Ejection was way better than being in the vehicle.
After looking at the photos, yeah, not a good scenario no matter what.
It would have had to been a hell of a roll cage to save them. 600ft is just too much. It sucks.
What are y'all opinions as far as adding a third row rear facing? Is forward facing have any advantage as far as safety it seems like adding a non factory you would have more space with the rear facing. Just wanting different opinions on it. I'll be adding a third row to my project 4Runner and trying to decide how to place an extra seat
I went forward facing mostly because it allowed the particular seat I had to fold against the second row. This gave me more rear cargo room without taking the seat out.
From the safety point of view, I like the kids being able to see and maybe brace for an accident, but doubt that is really a benefit. Sorry it's not more of a technical answer, just my opinion.
