LOL. Currently I have the stock Toyota battery, but I’ll be putting in the same brand @Shellshock has in a month or so and I’ve been debating on figuring out a block heater to put in. Not that I’ve needed it to get my truck running but it would be nice to have.

EDIT: god damn it stop answering questions for me quicker than I can

 

You should paint your truck yellow

 

very cool!

i just took my truck (after the trail was done) to the most northern point its ever been north of Grand Portage MN
it appears I can go even further north into MN sometime

 

Dammit I forgot about a block heater. We should do that soon.

 

6yrs on stock battery is pretty good, mine made it 8 or 9yrs (I think) need to check my records that far back lol

 

my dad had a yellow ford pinto (at one time) why he always bot shit cars I don't know, chevy citation was a crapola too
no thanks lol

 

If you go in the middle of winter to Lake of the Woods you can just drive across to the angle.

 

that is on the water?

 

similar truck yet oddly different!

 

Hey Guys anyone interested in a Nice Kamado grill/Smoker setup?

Grilla Grills 24" Kamado with table. Including BBQ Guru controller, Kick ash basket, New ceramic heat deflector, and multi tier racks. This kamado is in perfect shape and can do large cooks. Buyer is responsible for moving this grill, I will help load it but not deliver it. $500!!

 

wow, i just realized this is not the midwest BS thread
sorry

 

If you guys in TX and OK would stop cooking outside for a few days, I would appreciate it. It's too damned hot here! 100f, 110 HI. 20-30 mph south wind.
tyia

 

lol I thought it was the BBQ thread.

 

Midwest Winters made removal of my 2010 upper shock nuts a real bear. They were hot to the touch after full removal due to the rust and material removed with the nut. But I got both front coilovers installed today. It was hot in the garage. Here is a picture of the new 3rd gen coilovers from @ajmogen next to my 100k mile 2nd gen stockers. Look at that rust.

2nd picture is completed install after a quick wash. I'm diggin' it.

Thanks again @Shellshock for TW Express.

 

Looks like you are lucky you didn’t need @Tacomania’s services to chop those out!

 

mine are +22yrs old but still kicking along near excellent on these awful NE/western IA roads

I went airborne today outside of council bluffs and landed with back end slanted out a tad... I really should test drive a 3rd gen TRDpro and see if I can get it to do the same at the posted speed limit

the Iowa DOT is getting a hazard call from me on Monday, sick of that 30+ year old pavement they got going on there by the river
good way to test my old suspension out, though

 

You guys are making me worried for my truck here haha. I am more than willing to take it on some rough roads and trails but all this rust talk is worrying me.

Any recommendations on stuff needed to do to prepare truck for a Midwest winter after spending its whole life in Texas?

 

Grab some fluid film and you'll be fine
