    I see a distinct lack of RandyFab stickers.

    I finally rode the damn thing today after two weeks of ownership. It’s been about 12 years since I’ve been on a dirt bike and I’ve never done any tight, wooded, muddy trails before. I’m pretty proud of myself for getting back into the groove after about 10 minutes of seat time and I was whipping this thing around with no problems. Only laid it down twice when the mud got the better of me.

    I'm about to go pick up my camera so I'll be ready for next time! I got a DJI Osmo Action 3 and will mount it to the chin on my helmet.

    As someone who worked in the home foreclosure/property management sphere for a while, sabotage acts like this were a dime a dozen. The consequences were very real though.

    The intended outcome is scorched earth, and that's about where the "thinking" stops.

    My sensors quit working years ago. I did get about 12 years out of them though.

    Dude thought he could "Get back at" the bank for taking his truck. Learned the hard way that decisions have consequences.

    I spent some much needed wrench time in the garage after work today (dressed warm...I am done waiting for Elsa to thaw this never ending winter!)...I was finally able to get the seized drain plug out of my front diff and change the fluid...confession time...it hasn't been changed in over 120k miles due to the seized plug. Then admittedly, with the truck up on ramps and a decent break bar, it came out embarrassingly easy. The diff has had a bit of fluid replaced when I did the ECGS bushing, but that was years ago! Replaced it with the Lexus plug that has a 13mm bolt on it instead if the 10mm hex. When i did the bushing, part of the race of the bearing were missing. Luckily they were firmly attached to the magnet on the drain plug!

    Also changed the oil w/mobil 1 high mileage (currently on coupon on costco, 34 bucks for 6 qts.) Next project is the rear drum brakes.

    I just spent like $300 last night on tundra maintenance items since I’m about to hit 30k. Oil for both diffs and t case, engine oil and filter, and a reusable afe dry filter and disposable afe cabin filter. Gonna be fresh af for my cross country drive.

    I am gearing up to do the first oil change on my Tundie too! The window sticker says to return to the dealership at 42,xxx, but the maintenance light came on a few hundred miles ago. Just gonna change it to be safe and then I will know it was done at just under 40k miles. Probably should do the diffs and t case too. Can't see that it has been done when I run the Vin on the toyota owners website. Don't want to assume the dealership did it before putting it on the lot to sell as a certified used. It had 35k miles on it when we bought it.

    I wouldn't worry about the diffs too much, only reason I'm doing it is due to towing! If you do a search for your warranty and maintenance manual it has a maintenance schedule for you.

    K&N has a line of reusable cabin filters these days. All my stable have them. And as easy to clean as their air filters. Maybe more so.

    So the Dometic fridge sold with Betty but fridges are so handy that I want another one since I have a camping trip next weekend. I don’t need something quite as rugged as a Dometic so I opted for a cheaper, Chinese one. After doing a decent bit of research I landed on this one because it’s on a lightening deal, so $250 delivered.

    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9S5QDM9

    The other brand I was considering was Alpicool as some of their fridges have LG compressors in them, which gives some peace of mind for reliability. Comments on Amazon say customer service is shitty though, hence why I went with BougeRV.
