If they're anything like the turd gen version, run quickly away from them

 

Ha, not at all, I just have more of it than I can imagine. I get my 1000 issued practice rounds a year plus what I get on sale and reload. I probably have a good 3500 rounds of it, but only a few hundred for my 303's plus a few cans 04 7.62x39 and then tons of 22, just because you can spend all day at the range and not feel guilty because it's so cheap.

 

I've been running the turd gen Alpharex headlights for almost a year with no issues. Meanwhile the Morimoto XB appears to have a 30% failure rate going by the reports in this thread. While crashnburn80's lighting performance tests are first-class, he can't practically address durability and reliability.

 

It wasn't the durability so much as the fact that they perform worse than stock

 

I love Toyota parts! Good old fashioned spin on oil filters with crush washers and some new body clips (screw grommets) to replace a few I damaged when taking out fender liners.

Thank you Exeter Toyota!

 

Did a little upgrade today.

 

........

 

And fire from toyotas "frame snot recall"
But yes a pain. I punched out all their frame plugs and washed out whatever I could of the frame snot.

 

Good move with the snot removal,
do yourself a favour and spray a can of the red Rust Check or ATF fluid in there and let it soak in...
it'll seep in between the laminations and displace moisture and neutralize any salt/contamination already in there. And help the wax to flow and "self heal" a little bit better....

They just give it a quick blast with a pressure washer then blow some hot air in the boxed section to (in theory) clean and dry it out.... Then apply snot.


That snot is just beezwax with a softener in it, to slow down the amount of water that gets in there... (but will still harden up/ flake off over the next few years)
Lol but just like a rubberized undercoating.. anything that gets in, will stay there longer and the corrosion will accelerate in that area...

(same reason painted rebar fails faster than unpainted stuff, seems counter intuitive but...)

Cosmoline or oil spraying makes worrying about frame rust a moot point though...

 

Some days ....

 

Oh I know those days.... Lol, some days that glass and the ice are just too much formality...

 

Always single malt

 

You know, I tried to develop the "aficionado" taste and appreciation of Scotches, Bourbons, Vodkas etc.
and yeah I can tell the difference between a "finer" version of something vs another....

But I've never been able to appreciate the difference enough to want to pay a premium price for any of it.

To me the alcohol taste overwhelms the flavour so much, I have to "hunt" for the taste of it.

And I hate the taste of alcohol. Lol

Oh I've tried, lol , had many aficionado's try and "coach me" while they extoll the woody flavour of this or the hint of something in that...

But to me it's like trying to smell a daisy that a skunk just farted on.

Oh the looks of horror over the years,
as someone hands me some centuries old thing, made by wizards in a far away land and starts talking about it's virtues and,
I either slam it back like a bar shot or pour it into my ginger ale.

I'll get shitfaced on anything, don't care...
except Slivovitz or Sake, could not pay me enough to ever touch those again. (shudder)

 

Oh no...

I spoke sacrilege about a single malt...

And killed the thread...

You guys are gonna steal my truck and replace it with a pink ridgeline aren't ya?!

 

not pink. Neon Orange.

 

Lol,

Recently for some reason I have changed tastes and moved from single malt to aged brandy or home made portuguese moonshine (distilled grapes)

Regarding improving knowledge on what's good or not, I have been avoiding learning about wine tasting. I really like the red wines I get for 13$, imagine the financial ruin if you suddenly discover 50$+ wines are way better than cheap ones?
Ignorance sometimes is better

 

Healthy liver, no hangovers.

edit. before that, Macallan was a fave.

 

Oof. A teenage experience with a stripper and a bottle of Sake. Stripper was great but the Sake...never again.

 

For the last few years, I've developed a liking for Jameson's over ice. Have to be careful though - sometimes hard to hit the "stop" button!
