Ready for the work bullshit report?
They finally caved and are doing what I suggested day 1 (verify the new hires with HR & change the submitter to the HR rep that initiated the request)
So we literally had 185 new hires, (30 started 8/30) 75 terminations and 75 status changes (manager, job description) etc.
My best tech walked off the job yesterday, sent a scathing email to EVERYONE throwing everyone above me under the steam roller and the chief idiocy officer was summoned from Atlanta to Phoenix for a come to Jesus meeting with the big boss.
Where's my popcorn???

Could you not have hammered to lug out, instead of drilling it out?
That's what I was able to do when 2 broke off on my 2G TL.

Remove wheel, rotor/caliper & work on hub directly?
You likely had to/will have to do all of that when installing the new one, no?

Though you'd broken the lug stud.
Didn't realize it was a broken lug nut.
IIRC, the Tundra/Sequoia use a 2-piece lug nut & this is a fairly common problem?

I think you've put more work into this thing than any Sequoia owner ever has into their truck.

15 minute hold, call "dropped" no call back.
Also, not close. This is a used 2020 he put 20k+ into

Those are all pretty basic mods though.

$20k in Toyota parts is quite a bit different from $20k in Jeep parts though.

Not as much as you'd think considering they are aftermarket parts, not OEM. The only part that would be more expensive is the front independent suspension components which are a lot more complex than the solid axle versions.

Whats up with RDX owners?

Can't we all agree that it's all overpriced when one doesn't actually use these off-road parts?

It's all about how you use it though.

Personal favorite is the idiot not wearing a seatbelt.

Sounds like a job for zipties.

There's a convenient bracket to route the ziptie off of, too.

And cheaper. And easier to service in the future.

Just sayin.

Sheeeit... $12 could get you 25 metal zip ties. Best of both all worlds.

I don't think the skids on my Jeep are even that good.
