Yeah but my idiot brain automatically goes to TARD even with the missing letter.


Yes I'm a dumbass

New truck, and new SxS.

Must be nice....

Regular job for 36 years the part time seasonal job for 22 years, I should have something to show for all that. The nicest part Cam is they are both paid for.

I'm Just one of those guys who didn't go to college, that learned a trade and worked every stinking holiday, weekend & overtime that came my way.

And in return I have a totally messed up back that continually gets worse. I started seeing a chiropractor for the pain I'm in. He was showing me ex rays from last year that aint pretty. The fact that I have 2 bone spurs that were better then an inch plus in 2023 really caught his eyes.

Actually the 4 cylinder turbo charged engine does.

90% of what I rode in while on safari in Africa were Hilux. Crap like Range Rovers were soccer mom's in the big cities.

One place had an old South African GM hunting car that had a very boxy shaped body. My guess it was from the 50's as the embargo started in 1959.

You are correct. Or is it, you are not wrong.

Found a local truck service center to work on my new-to-me 2003 Ford F350 Super Duty with 5.4L V8 (the truck chassis on my 23’ Class C)

In addition to doing full PM and tranny fluid change, it’s a big truck center that can put the RV on a lift and check everything (suspension, brakes, exhaust)

Will find out soon what work might be needed besides the PM work

Just hope they don't get creative in what's neccessary.

Yep… always a risk with a new place

However, at the shop where we take our cars… we know the owner and have used them for 20 years. It’s great to be able to trust a car repair shop.

Some of those are FJ45's....Love those old trucks. I had a 59' FJ40 and a '79 FJ40

 

[Grumps21]

Slowly turning all my friends into lube techs

We almost got that same red on our CX9. That’s probably the finest red out there, it really pops. Fiddling with that cover underneath is really the most time consuming part of the whole job. I which they wouldn’t have covered 100% of the under carriage. What a giant PITA to try and find jacking points

Beat me to it

Well there is that Station Six that I bought from Andrew + that B&T 5.56 can that I couldn’t live without out too.

Thinking of selling my motorcycle and getting an older second car that has charm to it. I think I could get $7-8K for my bike.

I’ve wanted an old Mercedes diesel sedan 240/300D for example) or a Volvo 240, ideally with a stick shift.
Perhaps an old Suzuki Jimny/samurai? Maybe something imported from Japan that fits that $7-8K budget? I think my options would be slim on an import though.

I just got some new tires, damn it feels good. I washed my car, waxed it and armor-all'd my side-skirts and bumper. I did my timing belt and a few other things while I was down there about 10K miles ago. Now, I'm really enjoying this windows-down weather. At any rate, from oil and bulb changes to motor swaps and wiring diagrams, what have you done recently, besides put in some gas?

Rewired the "Ignition system " on an older truck.
