The Lair

Truck kicked my but today.
Installed tranny cooler.
Relocated horns for the 6th time.
Managed to strip the threads on my transmission drain plug. Had torque wrench set on 15 so no clue how that happened.
Pulled the transmission pan and drilled out the plug(luckily I had another one)
Cleaned the pan and magnets up real good.
Transmission didn't want to get up to 115 degrees so I could not check the level.
Finally got it up to 110 and checked it and it was low.
Drove 50 miles round trip for 1 quart of Toyota ATF WS.
Transmission seems fine and 20 degrees cooler
Loaded the 35x12x16s in the bed and Hope nothing goes wrong tomorrow
Went to work 4 hours late ..... I'm tired

Man what a pain in the ass of a day

 

Sigh I miss her

 

She was a beaut. At least the Civic seems to be treating you well!

 

Yeah she just burns a lot of oil haha

 

Someone posted this on t4r.org. Anybody want a way overpriced TRD Off-Road 4runner with a green wrap and a pro grille? lol

ugh those wheels and tires

 

That was my first thought. The sad part is, somebody somewhere will buy it.

 

friend of mine bought a sierra and wanted to put low profile offroad tires on stock 20" wheels. i was like "please don't"

 

Really defeats the purpose of offroad tires. My old silverado had 20" wheels, but it had 35's on it. I would never do that combo again though. I was 16 and didn't know better. lol

 

Oh the BS I did in my teens. I had those faux hood scoops on my turbo charged Ford ranger. TurboRanger good, faux scoops bad

 

i'm glad i was too poor to do any of the stuff i wanted to back then haha. although i may look back in ten years and regret what i did with the truck

 

I remember wanting a hood scoop so bad on that Silverado. Looking back, I'm so happy I was way too broke after the 6 inch lift and 35 inch tires to do anything else.

 

Okay so it was discussed in here as to which cleaning solutions we are using to get these things clean. Is everyone using chem Bros and a power washer? I thought I saw just a bottle thingy connected to a regular garden hose situation in here. #senditszn

@bski22 as cool as that foam cannon is, it's not a replacement for hand washing. I got it mainly for the gram and X rated pics of my truck.

Process....
Power wash loose debris/presoak truck
Foam cannon
Hand wash with those sweet mitts using a clean bucket of water to rinse said mitt
Rinse truck

From my understanding, it allows the dirt and crap to get up in the foam and not on the paint. Then the hand wash to remove stuck dirt. The foam creates a sort of lube for the hand washing also so that the hand washing mitt can glide over the paint better.

Anyway that's just what I've heard/read

 

Shush your gonna piss off all the trd sport guys
