@stumbles Bryan stumbles on the trail. Dude wheeled a stock third gen runner last weekend. I was damn surprised how well he did. He is buying all the things for his first gen Tacoma. We keep trying to trade the first gen runner for parts. He is holding his ground and resisting.

@mavericktrd Nate gets all of the short jokes. We see eye to eye, 5’6” life! We always give him shit about not wheeling enough with us. He is affectionately known as 3Runner. He gets along with all parties and is the neutral one who doesn’t really take sides.

@BDMcGuire Brent used to have luscious locks that would flow on the trail and capitivate all who were lucky enough to watch. But he recently shaved his head. Brent is a milf magnet. He’s happiest when with his sweet pup Cora and outside. He likes beer... a lot.

@snowtank Andrew is one of the best huggers. If you’ve got a beard and flannel, you’ll fit right in. If you like motorcycles and going fast, he’s your guy. He’s one of the other DINKs, has a lovely wife and cute doggos. One of the best dudes you’ll ever meet. He will charm you the minute he smiles at you.

@4Running Daily Connor is our local college aged guy. He’s a smart kid until he welds next to a stack of pizza boxes. He contributes a lot to 4Runner communities. Good guy to have in your wheeling crew.

Except I don't drive my 4runner to work very often. I did today though! I haven't unlocked the rear axle since our Motino trip, so I pull into the parking lot with tires chirping hahah

I would imagine that most of your clientele would have zero appreciation for what they are looking at. They would probably think your a struggling trying to scrap by and wondering if you can actually get them there house, lol

You pull into my driveway tires chirping... Its a panty dropper...

@RPS1030 Ryan is full of knowledge and is one of the best spotters. He’s quiet until he knows you. Don’t piss him off because he’s the dude with capable vehicles, the tools, and a trailer to haul your broken ass home. He’s a smart boy who enjoys sammiches and wheelin. And he puts up with my stupid ass.

@2ndGenJonny Jonny... this guy. I don’t even know about this guy.... jk. Good guy, pretty sure he loves doggos more than humans, he knows things, and I kind of blame him for me moving here.

@Dukestaco Ol daddy Duke, the best bacon supplier ever. Awesome guy with a great kid. Always love running into this guy, especially when trading truck parts for bacon. Duke will do anything for anyone, best guy. You should ask him for jalapeño bacon.

Brah. Just fix it all ready.
Low priority right now. I hate electrical stuff (Hence why my fuel pump is now on its own harness and switch)

If only all my clients were like you guys. :beerscheers:
I dress pretty casual for my line of work. Dress shoes, wrangler jeans, and a pearl snap button shirt or polo.

And he wonders how he keeps blowing out his rear gears.
That would be a bigger issue with axle shafts than diff issues. Diffs break from shock load.

I can't imagine the binding on pavement is doing the gears any favors regardless.

It's certainly adding more stress, but not as much as offroading does IMO. All the stress loads are going through the axle shafts and carrier. The added ring and pinion stress is less than hauling ass up a hill or towing. As long as you aren't chirping tires through a turn under heavy throttle, you'll be fine. I still do it though haha

Nah, your fine. our trucks don't have enough HP and TQ to twist axle shafts. Now if you were full lock and doing doughnuts on dry asphalt... maybe but pretty sure you're fine.

Oh yeah I'm not worried about axle shafts. Our axle shafts are stronger than D44 shafts, so our little HP and 35's wont hurt them

I've only seen axle shafts twist on full spool street trucks and cars pushing 500 HP. my buddy twisted is ford 9" axle shafts... after the spool went in and a procharger.

I've seen a couple D35 shafts shear in the carrier. One of them made for a fun trail repair in the rain, but we got hammered and partied while BBQing, so it was fun haha
