I carry an extra brake cage bolt. Never needed, thank goodness. Always needed them in the towing game. I hate getting under those ratty trucks to cage and then release them.

Blazer Bash 2021 not Last Minute Thrash

I have cage bolts in my tool box.
He mentioned that if he couldn't figure it out he was going to cage them. The problem was we were getting brake air but not suspension air.

Yep we would cage brakes on semi crashes so you had an idea of the condition of the brakes at the time of the crash.
Glad you are off the side of the road and headed home. Hopefully you have a positive result after damage assessment!

OK, we're f**king home!
4 new tires, stopped at the chandler Love's but it was a 3 hour wait so we came home. IF (big if) I can figure out what's wrong with the 120V AC stuff, I think we can get everything fixed tomorrow and head out to Moab on Monday.
Now, do I sleep or go work on the RV. Pretty sure you guys know the answer.

I did that a lot more when I was younger, but since I turned 40 and especially now that I'm 50 it was a lot harder...
Haven’t quite gotten there. But yeah, doesn’t work that well anymore
Lockers before light bars right?
omg....
you know when you're sleep deprived/stressed/sitting on the side of the road dying in the heat how you forget to check simple things like the breaker on the generator itself....
Yea that happened.
So much sweating for no reason.
Now I've got to see if I can replace the romex that got stripped by the tire or if that's a "we don't really need the washer/dryer/bathroom outlet" thing.

This is post "roadside fix" to get us home, but some of the damage from the thrown tread.
This one is pretty crappy, but the important part is that Amber is lighting it up by shining the light into the wheelwell...

Dang I hate that. Stuff that’s otherwise completely within your wheelhouse is missed
We just finished up our recon and we have a fairly easy solution for every issue we have currently.
Good to here.

That's great news. 
Glad to hear that it looks like you an Amber will be able to make it.

Don't forget 2 more tires in the front. Safer travels, and enjoy.
Doing the cab bushings I pulled on my fuel line.... going down the highway I got flagged down I was leaking. 
Pushed it back on and got to my buddys house. On the way home was dropping fuel pressure and was running out of gas

When we bought the 4 tires at Love's, they told us that the one by our house also had 3, we got up early and ran over there this morning but somehow between when we stopped there yesterday and now, they don't have any. Pretty sure the guy working was just being lazy, or was an idiot because the guy up north said they had 3 and when we stopped there yesterday they told us they had them... We're trying to find another source now.
We're at the Tolleson Love's. They have the tires, we've been waiting 3 hours already but we're next. On the bright side I got to take a nap.
We were thinking we may be able to get there today as all that's left on the list is tires and a water leak, but this wait may kill that idea, we'll have to see how I feel when we're done here.

We're about 4.5 hours in on the estimated 3 hour wait, I'm so happy right now.
