Met up w/ Heckler from YT and a few from discoweb.org for a little riding.
I will link to the photos when they get uploaded. Unfortunately, I completely forgot my camera was in the back seat the whole time...

My carnage report:

1) LF CV axle grenaded
2) XD9000 " "
3) A little body damage to my decklid


Here are a few random photos from home.

From the last run I went on.

I am starting quite the CV collection.

man, i can't wait to go to morris mtn. are there alot of trails? do the trails have multiple routes?

What are you doing to break them so often??

And you DO know the front on 3rd gens and later is semifloating and you REALLY shouldn't drive without at least the outer stub in place, right?

There are a several different variables that have caused my CV problems.

1) Extended travel CO's
2) No limiting straps
3) Excessive wheel speed (lots of skinny pedal)
4) No diff drop

TC, yes I am aware of that. In both cases, the outer stub shafts have remained attached to the hub.

In addition to the broken axle, I believe my multi-mode actuator has gone south.

Here is a better shot of the outer joint after disassembly.

i bet your good at replacing them though.

This is how a locker protects CV's...

Let's see more!! Where's the video?!


Dag nabbit, I had to work and missed this!!

Haven't gotten my fingers on the pics yet. I think either Eric or Brad (Painless Fab) has them.

Add one transfer case to the carnage report as well. My 4Runner is hung in 4WD and will not come out! Making some nasty popping noises also...

Time for an Ultimate crawler????

Yep, wonder if we could get a deal on a pair.

the other website wont allow you to look at the pics unless you are a member. that sux about your transfer case and your axle

Here you go Brett. Unfortunately, there are not many 4Runner pics as I was Skeered to do anything major! Here are a few pics and a couple vid caps of Eric and Heckler.

Love it and once again wish I had gone but would have left pretty earlier for work. O yeah Matthew what do u have against a diff drop.

I've learned not to ever go offroading and expect to make it to work later on time.
