Hey all. Got a call last last night from my dad saying he backed up into a ditch up in the moutains. So off me and my brother go to save him and my mom. We try but didnt get too far with no 4:56 in the front of the 4runner. Didnt snap any pictures there but we went back the next day with my cousins car and pulled it out with his winch. Took about 2.5 min to get the truck out.


Look alomst like its coming out of a good flex? Haha


Left the truck like this over night till next afternoon. Theres a tree stomp on the right tire holding it from tipping over

Then we went fisher after haha

Alright guys, it's been a while since I post any updates on the truck. Nothing much really but the plan for now might be just slap some rings on it and drive it for a while and if it runs good then post it up for sale. But that is just a thought. Haha well my cousin works at the dealership that is partner with Toyota so he get parts for cheap. So as of right now ima just get a set of rings and a headgasket. all other bearing should still be good. O yea also rearmain seal haha ok I got some cool pictures everyone has to see ill upload them right now
