And almost lost his leg in an accident. Miracle!

(c) a mover guy watching a grand piano roll down the street, run over a pedestrian, hit a cop car, then roll over a cliff and explode while taking out two kayakers in the river below.. (c) all of the above

I love the builds and all, but something about the wood truck is just a sight to behold. It has an old school ruggedness to it, and being reliable is just adds to its character.

Yes! Too many of them have become museum pieces, love the granny-gear 4 speed.

[@markroe8229]

I've got an 89 2500 Suburban and 3 K30s (1983, 84, and 87). All big block and all 4x4. Rusty, crusty, and tough as nails. They never let me down, and I have less than 10 grand in all 4.

[@BuilderofRat]

@@genehart261 My 09 Dodge 2500 has a manual with a granny low, and I love it. I do not live in an urban area, so the manual is not an issue as we don't have 10 miles of rush hour 2 MPH bumper to bumper traffic. IF we did have that, I would drive my 02 Jeep. I realize that my Dodge is not a square body, but it rides soooooo much better than my old square body Dodge. I had a square body Chevy Camper Special, but it had 2 fuel tanks, and it needed 2 fuel tanks. It got 6 MPG. My Dodge gets 18-25 depending on my speed. I have heard/seen so many bad things about new pickups that I can truthfully say that I will never have one. I watched a body shop YT channel, and what he had to do to just install an outside door latch, and all of the snap-in plastic pieces on the outside of the body was a deal-breaker for me.

I kind of agree, certainly fewer meddling electronics to get in the way or fail, but put some slightly larger tyres with a decent tread on the Forerunner and it would cope just fine, or as it's a rental, perhaps they should have rented snow chains, job's a goodun!

On that 4Runner, if you press and hold the traction button near the steering wheel, wait for a light on the dash to come on and go solid. This will engage the Torsen center differential. Congrats, you're now driving a body on frame J150 Land Cruiser that is more capable than the rescue vehicle and woulda easily drove out of there.

[@juanmcdonald7297]

Time to start bringing the big boy truck out. Little car wash don’t hurt as much as a broken truck. 😢

[@davestevens4263]

I can see both sides of the debate ! I myself would do the same , bring the free truck because you don't care about it butt breaking down is worse . Idk ?

[@jdearl9999]

The reality is that whatever truck gets driven gets broken. The axle that snapped was new. The same thing could have happened to the new axle in the tow truck or FJ. In fact, with their more powerful engines that sort of failure is *more* likely, not less. One of the things that I like about Fab Rats is that they remind me of my grandpa and my uncle. No sense using the expensive rig for a job that the farm truck can handle. I personally like how Paul gets the job done with stuff that other people have tossed out. He can't help himself either. He's even steam cleaning the carpets in that old girl.

[@Bennett-xo6iu]

I would upgrade the cv axles or make it a solid axle..

[@kimetherington2252]

Good recovery, when it rains, it pours, sometimes when you have an arsenal of vehicles, things are bound to break! It's a good thing you have the Fab Rats business and the means to fix them when they break! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊
