The Lair

Whose truck is that?

 

It's funny, when I moved from UT to WA, I had the reverse effect. I had my windows cracked overnight and the significantly more moist air reconstituted all the dehydrated gross. Spent the first night or two in the new place wiping down the inside to combat it. Biggest noticable areas were the touch points on the steering wheel, shifter, etc.

 

Mine.

 

I think he means the new lights setup.

 

Yeah, that’s what I meant. First there was one really shitty light, which I replaced with a brighter one. Still wasn’t enough so I mounted my lights from my old place.

Picture makes it look brighter than it really was.

 

Oops haha. Yeah that lighting looks good. I need more for my garage

 

And yeah it’s Wills truck. Almost done with the jd fab spring under kit with their frame braces. Modified to work with archive towers and keeping the shocks under the bed and then adding DMZ frame boxing kit to box in the whole rear of the frame as well. Shouldn’t have taken this long but we started right before I had 3 weekends in a row where I was either out of town or had other obligations. Then a 4th weekend somewhere in the mix that I ran out of welding gas early on.

 

Anybody got a pair of either 1" or 1.25" wheel spacers sitting around they want to part ways with?

 

Had some urgent care vet drama myself...my lab had a weird sore show up on his head almost overnight. Urgent care vet was the only place that could see him in a timely manner. Cost us 320 buck for a double ear infection that was causing the hot spot on his head due to him scratching his ears too much because they were bothering him. The vet cleaned out his ears, put a medication suppository in each ear, checked a lump on his neck they found during his exam, and sent him home on a steroid and antibiotic to help clear up the spot on his head...

The first pic is when my wife noticed the sore Tuesday night. I cleaned it up and put some neosporin on it to see if I could handle it without a trip to the vet.



These pics she sent me yesterday while I was on lunch, it looked like it had almost doubled in size and became an urgent issue that couldn't wait.

 

OOF, poor buddy. Sometimes vet visits are unavoidable but luckily that should all heal up nicely.

Tony is almmmoost healed up. 2.5 weeks ago the found that the splint was wearing a wound on his wrist so they couldn’t splint him anymore, but needed to limit his movement so his toe could heal. Poor buddy has been in a crate since then and only comes out for meals and potty breaks. Monday is more x rays and it should show that he’s all healed and no more limitations.

 

Ah, dang man! Poor Tony!!! Hopefully he gets the green light on Monday and things are A ok!

 

Remember that time I said I was going to sell the tundra and get a ridgeline? Well that plan isn’t happening, but now I’m making moves to get into a t4r. I can buy an older fifth gen outright and it would be nice to not have a payment and have a smaller vehicle. Downside is that it would need to be 2wd to get to the price and mileage I’m looking for, but I think I’m ok with that. I don’t need to be wheeling my DD.

2runner!

 

Smaller trailer for the bikes then?

 

Hitch carrier, they’re pretty inexpensive. May get a small trailer at some point because it’ll fit in the garage.

 

Those always sketch me out with how much they flex.

 

I really like the T4R. If I didn't need the Tundra for towing duties, I'd roll in a t4r with a third row!

 

I hear ya. I have seen people use them for luggage and they are no where near 90 degrees to the ground...more like 45 or 60...

 

We saw quite a few on our trip to Colorado last week and man, 75MPH on interstate and those things are flexing with the road with maybe two totes or a cooler on them. Also saw a motorcycle on the back of an RV flexing.
Just build a motorcycle swing out for the T4R Randy! #RandyFab

 

Hold up.


You can get 4 runners in 2wd?
