My coworker won’t be coming to work for a little while(on the bike). He just got it this weekend.

Obviously he won’t be able to ride that. The seat is off.

Way to ruin that secret spot posting it on social media. Wait, this is the old man's country club, disregard.

Awesome way to have the campsite to yourself. We saw this on the Idaho/Montana border and it's genius.

No it's OK. As long as I don't say where I'm at then nobody knows and all these spots are safe from you hooligans, because none of you have ever been here before...

So it's Speedweek, and I'm here for the duration. I think it would add an element of excitement to run in the dark...

An adventure on Imogene today! This is the boys first trip in his new-to-him 4Runner. We started up from the Telluride side and got to Tomboy before realizing his 4wd was out. We fiddled with it a bit but eventually just strapped him up through the spicy bits and kept heading up. He made it!
Coming down the other side, things got worse. Below Camp Bird he sheared the passenger ball joint bolts.
It separated the cv shaft, but luckily didn't take out the brake line. We strapped him off to the truck behind him, picked up the front with my exhaust jack, and managed to get all but one of the sheared bolts out. With a combination of robbed bolts from the other side and donors scrounged from my rig we got him rolling again. We limped down the hill and into Ouray and now we're just waiting for the server to bring us burgers. Tomorrow we find a hardware store.

I have been rocking flippy floppies and socks a lot more than I should recently… the convenience factor is just too much

I remember it well! We were lucky that Trooper knuckle bolts were the same as Tacoma ones!@Tonkaman and I did the exact same in his Tacoma. I guess it’s a Toyota thing.

Glad you are a capable and competent man who solved the problem without much ado.
The 3rd gen 4Runner, and the 1st gen Tacoma, share a poor design of the lower ball joint. It is mounted in tension, rather than in compression, as most properly designed LBJ's are. Usually the LBJ itself pulls apart. Shearing the mounting bolts is a situation I hadn't heard of before. Shearing the bolts sounds like the bolts were of a lower grade than OEM, and/or they were over-torqued.
