Well, unfortunately, I am home already.  My day was cut short by a broken brake line.  Yes, I could've gone searching around in town for a replacement and made it back out, but I figured I would just head out.  If it hadn't been for the 2 annoying almost teens in my back seat urging me to leave, I probably would've stayed.

So, I must've actually done it yesterday.  My brake light came on at some point in the afternoon, but I'd had my e-brake pulled before, due to its poor position on the rear axle, and thought that was it.  Even though it wasn't taut like before.  So, the line came apart at the connection to the rear brake drum.  Steve noticed it while we were taking off my rear sway bar.  Another story there...noticed it was loose on one side and looks like bolt just worked loose on sway bar end link.  So, as we (mostly Steve, I hate to admit) were removing the sway bar is when the leak was noticed.

I couldn't see any fluid at all in the reservoir, but still had pedal pressure.  So, crimped the rear brake line (cuts off both rear brakes, which I guess is best anyway).

I had just put bigger Tundra rotors and calipers on the front, so I was glad to have that extra bite with only fronts.  Drove home fine with no sway bars (never ran front anyway), although one off-ramp was a bit sketchy.

More carnage...when Rob and I were roaming Friday before anyone else was here, I was trying to go up the boat ramp bypass (I know, the bypass!), and smashed my passenger front fender into the wall, and lost the fender flare.  I have repeatedly lost the driver's sides, but this was the first passenger one to go.  That same smack I *may* have put some scratches on my new GoPro case (at least it's not the camera itself).  :D

Didn't get any pics, but got some video of Rob getting denied on boat ramp, and just a little GoPro footage...will need to go through it. Still getting the hang of using it.

Special thanks to Steve (@URBAN_RUNNER) for all his help  and following me out to the main road.  And also to Jared for the brake fluid.  One of the few times I didn't bring all my fluids...not again!!

Hated to leave, but had a good time while I was there!

What a day. Had a roll over and a tree fall on a jeep. Bad mojo.
