I got a call the other night, I had to winch someone out. While getting there(2 miles of forest jeep trail), I broke the left front spring, the axle moved forward, the drive line dropped out and the u-joint ripped a hole in the oil pan. I laid in the creek, cleaned and duct taped the hole. Re-filled the crankcase, winched the guy out, towed him to asphalt. Did you know Toyota Tacoma's Float?!?! When I was winching him, the cable wasn't even tight. Advice to all. Drive a dodge not a toyota, and carry Duct tape and extra oil!!!
