After Driving to Whidbey Island from Spokane,To fix The left knuckle on my 4runner and pick it up from camorunner`s and meet up with him for our trip to Elbe. Everything went well tell we pull`d into camp, i ran over a piece of broken mirror on My tow rig. I was able fix it with 2 plug`s. That was Friday, Sat, I broke the right knuckle, Which i just happen`d to have one with Me. So fix`d and back wheel`n. That evening Camorunner lose`s a motor mount and the tran`s mount is in bad shape, resulting in no reverse. we head out to part`s store,Had to order motor mount but no trans mount. Parts will be in on sun. We head out early sun for parts, mount is late so we went in search of another parts store for a trans mount. Got sent to lake wood, got parts head`d for Elbe.
Wrong trans mount, so we went wheel`n with just the motor mount. Sun I lost reverse on the log`s and bent rear drive line on the boulder`s. Monday we want`d to do big easy, now camorunner is stock 3" body lift and 33`s, I`m open lift`d and 37`s with a winch. Start`d off winch from what seem`d like the begining . Then we walk`d the trail deciding to Skip it. I think i could have made it with a lil winching but it would have been to much to winch Camorunner tru it. So we went to play where Toyota Mike ran out of Feul in the mud and play`d there for awhile, having a barbecue on the trail. while loading I noticed i bent the front housing but overall good trip and the place was like a ghost town only seen maybe a dozen rig`s all weekend
 
Nice to meet you guys (monday). The busy is an animal. Its usually alot dryer but the late rain fall has kept it nasty (good). You guys were making good forward progress when we saw you. Next time ur ready to try the busy again PM me..
