Personal Notes from Chip:
Chip is a member of Intel Desert Dweller's 4x4 Club, and of the AZ Chapter of TTORA (Toyota Tacoma Off Road Association). Chip wanted to thank Tempe Toyota and Desert Rat (Tempe) for their continued support and warranty work. Chip has a recovery kit that lists as long as all of the mods he's done to the truck, and for good measure he has 2 of just about everything.
Worst Stuck / Break
"Short of course ... it's a Toyota!" On the road from Flagstaff to Phoenix, Chip's V6 crankshaft pulley broke. Toyota also replaced the transmission gears and synchros under warranty. |
