best of the west
after moab, i did some basic prep like another allignment, respray on certain parts that were beat up, trying to diag this stalling issue, and i installed some new kenda klever RT 37s instead of those pro comps. i also have been working on a milwaukee packout system so i can slowly remove my drawer setup.

i drive out 6 hours to montrose colorado and get some wheeling done with good friends, the 4runner did impeccable performance wise and i am in love with these kendas. i broke 4 CV axles, bent F/L ITR, F/R OTR, cracked my frame, scorched my F/L LBJ, bent a rear left lower link, and ive grenaded 3 of 4 LCA cam tabs. the IFS differential is holding well, as you guys know i am tired of this IFS, and i have plans that ive been keeping from you guys but we will burn that bridge when we cross it. i am doing the bare minimum to fix it so i can still offroad. anyways, this is my montrose colorado trip!
We did cactus, topless, scratch & dent, calamity & die tryin, these are all rated at 9+ trail, and i am beyond extatic on how well lucy did. the only place i had to winch was breaking a CV in a lame spot, and an inevitable waterfall that everyone had to winch up.
