    :( My fellow Tundras I have failed thee!
    Tried to force a climb up a waterfall and snapped the driver side RCV axle and snapped the intermedia shaft inside the front diff. How embarrassing :oops:

    Yeah, but then you fixed in in true MacGyver fashion... toothpicks, chewing gum, and a tampon... and created a cliff-hanger ending so we'll all watch his next video to see you beat the waterfall, right?!

    Have you ever wondered what the weakest link in an RCV axle is? I thought it would be the bearing race. Never thought the splines would give up the ghost. Sending them back to RCV on warranty.

    It was more like a landing. I knew that the frame would hit the obstacle so I bumped it and landed with the wheels stilling spinning.

    Lol nice, it never occurred to me that out of staters wouldn't catch on right away to that one.

    Agreed! I felt bad I couldn't make it out. I blame it on my friend's giving me the bug the weekend before the trip. Sorry about the driveshaft, I was hoping you wouldn't have to pack it anymore when I text you saying I wouldn't make it. There will be future trips though!
