its been a horrible day, the front spindle on the taco just snaped off this morning on the hwy. going about 75mph. just all of a sudden gave. I dunno why, I have all sorts of damage now. luckily my friend and I skated across the hwy with no brakes ok. and there werent too many cars around, but we did manage to draw much attention. As the truck slammed to the ground I saw the wheel rolling pass us. the center of the wheels was glowing red hot. brake caliber brackets are broken, entire hub is broken, fender toast. brake line busted, who knows what else, the traffic jam and the tow home too. what an awful day. Hopefully all this bad luck goes out with the year.


Have a safe New Years peeps

Damn! Lucky you kept it pointed ahead until you stopped. Good driving and glad no one was hurt.

Holy crap! Do you have any pictures of the destruction? At least you managed to avoid everyone else and you are safe.
