You're textbook K-selected, a very good thing in my book. Like Jordan Peterson? All good points. We're in violent agreement.

Excellent. I have another name for those vehicles that ends in box, but the first word shouldn't be posted here... :violin: Our daughters are not super tall or plump, so are perfectly comfortable anywhere. A 3rd Gen is luxo for them. The boys and I are well above 6' and most comfortable in full...

Excellent idea. I did Bondurant in my 20s, helped me a lot. Never had a bad wreck.

We went out and cleaned up the glass today. It was nearly dark last night and my quick analysis of the crash dynamics was flawed. The cabin actually held up pretty well. He was braking hard but still going at least 30 over a rocky field when he fishtailed, the LF tire hooked up hard and...

Thanks, I shoulda thought of that too. Funny thing pops up in that report. The Gen5 gets better in 2013 than its debut in 2010....the roof strength goes up. Too bad the Gen5 is so ugly and expensive. I wonder how far they will stretch out those silly front turn signals in the next facelift...

Last night I steri-stripped up his cuts and put him to bed. This morning he doesn't even have a headache, or sore joints. Ah, to be 16 again. Miraculous youth, wasted on many young. This morning I found some windshield glass in my hair. Wut??? But it needs to be said that the 3rd Gen did...

Thanks guys, heckova way to introduce myself, eh? Wasn't ideal... No, the driveline didn't cause the wreck. Youthful indiscretion did. I just posted this above in the OP UPDATE: He wasn't going 60 when he rolled, or this would be an entirely different story. I'd guess he hit the rocky field at...

Well I don't need to worry about driveshaft vibration anymore. One of our sons did a corkscrew rollover next to our 2-mile dirt driveway. He must have hit 60 on the straightaway, started to wobble on braking hard, then got off into the rock field so common in Central TX. UPDATE: He wasn't going...

Yep. Time to think about investing.

That's somewhat inevitable. But there's a market for reasonably-priced repro parts for sturdy vehicles...

Thanks yugely for that, I'm towing it to my mechanic now. On a freakin' trailer...again.

Great post, thanks yugely.

I just use my hands. If it won't come off, I use big Channel Lock pliers. If it crushes, I puncture it, let it drain, then use the puncture hole as a wrench. Sometimes if it looks difficult right away, I just puncture the bottom and let it drain right away. Easier to handle if it's cooled...

I have a similar problem with our 1998 Ltd. The front brakes will stay on, both of them. You can still drive but after a 1/2 mile they start smoking. My daughter was following me, I saw smoke, and we stopped right away. The front brakes were dragging hard and smoking hot. It went away after 10...

Could it be all the excessive Glam Luxo stuff on the 4G's? Just waiting to break down some year soon
