You should buy it!

 

So he traded it in and got absolutely raped on it probably.

 

Wow! Looks good!

 

Probably got a sweet LT Touareg with a rare MT.

 

Yeah they clearly didn't see the value in any of the mods if they’re going to list it at like KBB price.

 

I call bullshit.

 

What a Sunday evening.

Oil change time for the truck, no BFD. Drain old oil, replace filter, dump in 5 quarts, then grab my 1qt bottle to top off. It's an old bottle, but oil is oil in this case, right? Open it and start pouring.

The crap is dark brown. Stop pouring. Do the sniff test. Smells like a combination of 90w gear oil and ATF. I noticed that whatever it is, it's denser than 5w30, so maybe a little antifreeze mixed in there, too. I must have dumped my drain pan leftovers into an old quart bottle and forgot to recycle it, somehow. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.

Drain allllll the oil again, take the Nevada Standard Issue Import SUV (4Runner) to Wally World, get more oil, replace oil and call it done.

Seems to run OK, probably only got 8 ounces in before I realized my mistake. Since it was denser than motor oil, when I pulled the plug, I could smell the crap. Nice thing is the rest of the new oil on top of it helped flush and push it out. And I hadn't started the engine yet, so it never circulated.

Totally screwed up a nice, relaxing Sunday evening and I never got to toss my trout from Saturday in the smoker. I'll have to do that tonight before I start screwing around on the milling machine.

Course, now it's Monday, I'm at work, and I'm already thinking about which river/creek I want to visit Saturday for the purposes of scaring and abusing fish. It's like a disease.

 

Ok, so who was I waving at today on Vista?

 

I ran into @skidooman at Mavericks out in Fallon the other morning. Nice to put a face to a name.

 

Subed for later interesting conversation.

 

Well, whoever it was, nice rig! Everytime I see a white 3rd gen, it makes me regret not getting one myself.

 

Yeah, it was good to meet you!! Truck looks good too!

 

Who is in the mgm 2nd gen dcsb, 3" and relentless front bumper with no hoops?? Saw it on 395N about 230 today. Looks good, I feel weird waving in my work truck. I just imagine ppl thinking wtf is this guys problem. .

 

man i wish it was mine. got the lift but no bumper

 

Nice rig!!! That was me

 

Anybody interested in a nice bmx race bike for their young one?

 

Just saw this thread. Looks like a leaking timing chain cover and a common issue and a lot of work for them to fix. Should be covered under powertrain warranty though. Now that I’m thinking about it I don’t think they even looked in the right place even though when I brought it in I popped the hood and showed them where the leak was.
