It's ok, the hands are little

 

Oh these little suckers....

 

Why you holding @Titus94 upside-down?

 

I keep finding his doppelgangers all over the yard, I don't think that's actually him.

 

Come here you little varmint...

 

Speaking of, time to check the traps, ha.

 

You saving the hides to make a suit?

 

Yeah, for Colton's Bday present!

 

Any recommendations on a good shop to get my transmission flushed?

 

If you are at all a do-it-yourselfer:
Look up the instructions posted by Crom a few years ago. His method seemed so spot on. Thank you, Crom!

 

Thanks for the recommendation, my complex doesn't allow car maintenance and I'm not 100 percent confident on the procedure. Crom does have some great write ups though.

 

Is Speed Freek too far away (in Vista)?

 

Not at all. Is this something he can do? I have heard that he is pretty talented but never saw anything about him working on transmissions.

 

Service Pros in San Marcos. One man shop. Jeff will get you taken care of, and tell him I sent you.

 

@Speed Freek

He is a Toyota Factory Trained Technician, formerly with Toyota Carlsbad and has been independent as long as I have been on TW. He does all kinds of engine and drivetrain work plus is an ace off-road fabricator and installs suspension and body armor. Let's see if he comes up for air and sees this question...

OH, I just discovered it is Jason's birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SPEED FREEK!

 

Since the transmission cannot be fully flushed without a machine to cycle the fluid through the system, I would just pay the dealership to do it. I want to recall it being just under $200 for it on my 08 Tacoma at the Yuma Dealership. OEM Toyota fluid being a big part of the cost.

 

Preview of Trail of Missions 2019. Coming to ABC TV Sept. 7

I think Cameron and his film crew did a nice job... It was all in good fun, I got to ride with Curt LeDuc, and I got to talk about the mission history at Guadalupe, west of Mulegé.

We made a full loop that day going in from the road that heads on across to the Pacific side and coming out on the recently reopened canyon road through San José de Magdalena that was destroyed in 2014.

This trip last May was the recon for the actual tour, which was in June. We did not have Jim McCoy's helicopter, but a clip of it from the actual tour is in this preview. Aerial shots are from the drone the film crew had.

After we came out from San José de Magdalena, we stopped at Palo Blanco and that is where we are looking at my maps and discussed going to see San Borjitas cave... which we did, but that is not in this episode, maybe next Wednesday's preview release?


Enjoy the 10-minute video:
