What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

You must be good! How do you avoid the jackknifing?

 

REAL MEN do not ask that. They KNOW! ;-)

 

I use this:

There’s also one that uses highly tensioned spring-loaded steel pipes under the rocker panels that deploy and just f^cking ANNIHILATE the legs of any fool who’d dare try carjacking you or entering your vehicle. I kinda like this method best. Wish I could find a vid.

 

Got these beautiful OEM TRD OR rims center caps, gotta admit...I really really like my TRD OR rims!

 

I carry a chainsaw when I go out. But I live in the forest country of British Columbia!

 

Deployable Urban Rock sliders! They would soooo be sellers in the city!

Combine those with a moving CHAIN SAW and you have a real hi-jack deterrent!

Death by fire doesn't play well in court. Broken /cut tib fib on the otherhand gets smirks and WTF comments.

 

I have a Stihl MS170 for firewood etc. It has not given me any problems even with extended periods not using it. Don't drop the bar nuts on the ground, they're hard to find when you do. They should come anodized & dyed or powdercoated orange!

 

I usually have a M18 fuel Sawzall with a few of those long carbide tooth demo blades. It’s not a chainsaw substitute by any means, but I sort of view it as an in between from a bow saw. A couple 6ah batteries and a M18 car charger live in the truck too.

 

Probably a bad quality pic since it was video recorded but I manage to put a quick start remote since it gonna snow soon...

 

Got tired of looking through the wheels seeing the brake drums starting to rust so I painted it with caliper black.

Looks great! I gotta do this soon as I’ve got the same rust issue.

 

What brand do you guys like up there?

 

I did some basic stuff today. Gas tank cap holder and a phone mount. Will post pics soon just to see what else everyone has.

 

I live in BC and Stihl stihl is my personal choice. Also have a gas powered Stihl string trimmer and it’s been neglected and run hard for 7 years and still starts easily.

 

No offense but if I had to choose between your wheels and those daisy wheels people put on new beetles..... I'd go with the daisies.

 

Stihl MS261. It's in their "professional" line of chainsaws.

You know this isn't the for sale section?

 

I had the same issue at first. They need to be left rolled up for at least a few days for the window molding to form around them. Had a couple day break in period after that, now they’re awesome.

 

Yesterday afternoon. Roam 95L’s and their 6.5’ awning (one of the bolts was f’d up and a big made in china sticker on it, oh well). Got the awning for the back but I’m waiting on the brackets. Plan is to move it to the back when I set up, only 4 bolts. I was looking at 4’ and 5’ awnings that I could just leave back there but really wanted the extra coverage. Didn’t take pics of the box mounting bolts but I used 3/4” bolts, fender washer, regular nut and topped those off with acorn nuts to eliminate any sharp edges. They came with the struts already assembled in them so that was cool. Still enough room for the waterport weekender to go in the middle!
