Isn't that an oxymoron? 2wd "offroad" truck? LOL. I finally have 4x4 and I think the only time I have actually used it is in the sandy launch at LJ..HAHa@!

I can't believe you're complaining about them sending too many people to fix the launch. When I went by this morning they were making great progress. I thanked them for doing the work. Would it make you happier to see one dude with no power tools busting his ass for a month with a crappy result?

Just head south to mexico and see what that gets you.

They said it would take a week, most of it curing time. I'm looking forward to driving onto the beach again.

Im guessing that the remarks were sarcastic in nature...

Yep- that's why it's funny.. It's a toyota with the TRD off-road package, they just forgot the 4 wheel drive! (its mostly a suspension and limited slip diff package).. If I'm not mistaken, chevy has a similar Z-71 "off-road" truck that is 2wd as well. Its all for marketing I suppose. I didnt know at the time when I bought it how handy 4wd would have been

Next time for sure, even if just for LJ!

Anyway, sorry to go off topic. I am impressed as well that the city seems to be getting humpty dumpty back together again- a surprise ending. I'm curious to see what the engineers think up to prevent this from happening again and what, if any, upgrades will be made.

100 yards of #3200 psi concrete and some #5 rebar should do the trick.

Not if it is a prerunner or trophy truck.
