What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Hopefully they tacked on a GTA charge! Glad it was recovered intact.

 

Is that an adjustable wind fairing on your roof rack?

 

Sort of.

It covers the light bar, reducing wind noise when not in use.

 

I laughed out loud reading this. Thank you kind sir!

 

You have to order from ARB but the Australian site.

 

find out what it weighs.

 

The AC on my 2021 AC Sport kicks in before I can back out of the car park. Cold air from the get go.
It was 90 degrees and rain showers all day today. ;-)

 

Handling fire wood?

Best $50 I've spent on the task is the purchase of a "Hook-a-Roon"
Get one!

ps, I've been heating my home with wood exclusively for the past 35 years. I've handled a LOT of wood. ;-)

 

Looks like a very useful tool and a serious back saver!

I worked up a log truck load in June. That tool saved my back a hundred times over it's cost in med bills ;-) You get a method in your motion where the drag becomes the lift. Sort of like pole vaulting ;-) With the pick-a roon / hook-a-roon, I could outpace the splitter no problem . I still broke a sweat, but that's why I cut split and stack my own. Saves on gym memberships ;-)

I use a pulp hook for a lot of loading and stacking. It's a bit more compact.

 

Just go to the dealer and show them this and they will order the part. You have to have it bubble up though

 

It’s well worth the investment

 

They can unload it themselves you just have to make sure to pick the right thing when you order your cover

 

Lil mild viper cut today. Came out a little better than expected. Using a hole saw bit for the curve is the key.

 

Super basic, but new wheel/tires

BFG KO2s (265/70/17) and TRD 4 Runner Pro Adjacent wheels

Well almost put a TRD Skid plate on but received what looked like a return. Every bolt looked like it had a wrench on it . Scratch on the bottom of the plate and gouge on top. Missing one bolt and lock washer and the other looked bent . I was pretty ticked off to say the least and it was sent back today. I could have lived with the scratch and gouge but not the bent bolt and missing one. Plus I payed a premium to add insult to injury and it was from a Toyota dealer shipped to me.

 

That is bizarre to have had happened from a Toyota dealer. I'm not sure who is the "Toyota Corporate" contact for the PNW, but when I had a negative experience with a dealer here in BC I contacted Toyota Canada and they took some steps to smarten up the dealer. Might not make your life better, but it could save another TW buddy from some similar grief.

 

Is that tool effective for large caliper trees? I have a lot of old growth oak and beech that I use for winter burning, much of it is 24" - 36" diameter caliper that I end up splitting into manageable chunks to load into the Taco.
