1st gens to Sedona 2023!!!

I think the little tick I heard led me to find the bent axle. But it was actually the ring that was going out. Blew up 150 miles from home.

 

Oh, man!

 

So there was more carnage than we knew.

 

It was not ideal...had I known I would have just driven to Tucson from the start.

 

Aww, you woulda had a blast down here!

 

I know. I could have been extending the trip and had resources!

 

I know I did not say it before.... Thank you for all your wonderful hospitality 1st gens.

 

You sent it pretty hard and made us proud.

 

Oh, Sweet! Thanks for that!

 

I may have wooed once or twice that day

 

Yeah George I think was his name

 

That was George. #nailedit

 

You were a bit hung over that morning… ouch

 

Yeah… and then another year off after next year’s event

 

Pretty sure he was hanging out with you and @memario1214 around the campfire that night

 

I think any time we break some shit, one of the biggest prayers is that SOMEONE got it on video

 

FYI - 24mm = 15/16"

 

I had a 15/16".

 

Thanks to @Mr.bee we now know that

 

Thanx to @Mr.bee for finally telling us he had one. 15/16' is the only socket I ever asked for

 

I guess all this happened while I was "overlanding"? I carry all those crazy large sockets whenever we do a Toyota "meet".

 

You are absolutely correct. Allow me to attribute those involved in my diff removal, repair, and replacement more accurately...
@FrenchToasty loaned me his floor jack
@alb1k @Mr.bee and @des2mtn supplied a few select hand tools, and I had my own as well.
@AZBoatHauler helped oversee the project and loaned his milwaukee dremel.
@Mr.bee had very encouraging words to share throughout, and was on standby with his vice table, just in case...
Labor-wise, I'd say with rough estimation;
3.5% was done by @des2mtn, and he might've sustained a busted knuckle, I'll be surprised if he didn't.
12.5% by @alb1k, in labor, but 100% was there with me start to finish.
and the remaining 95% by myself
(yes I know how to add. People often tell me I'm 'extra' so I figured I'd factor in a bit of that, whatever it is)
I do appreciate every bit of help in any way, and apologize if I left out anyone.
I would not have been able to do Broken Arrow without it, so well worth it.
For the record, if any one of you are ever broken down, and I'm available to help, I will not hesitate to get my hands dirty

 

100% badass and the memory of an elephant.


The reward for thrashing in the forest…

 

You forgot me. I watched from a distance and nodded with approval. That's worth at least 3%.

 

100% wouldnt have worked without my heckling.

 

I have an extra one that fits perfectly if you want it

 

Agreed! After installing the AG in the rear I took the sway bar off. Rides better in my opinion
