The trail that led to the 4Runner's demise was Carnage BV in Colorado. While I had previously run the trail probably a dozen times, things had changed. A recent rain storm had changed a lot of the obstacles around and made sections of the trail a lot harder. As we approached the V-Notch this became clear, after several tries I broke both birfields (old ringed Longfield's) at the same time. With the help from some friends we replaced the units with two stock spares I had, but within 20-40 feet I managed to break those. I ended up having to by dragged out of the trail by two of my friends strapped together, that's what took it's final toll on the truck.
