What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

It took me paddle boarding today

 

Sooooo…. I am prepping the boat, wife doesn’t want to get bit by bugs so she is putting on bug repellent. IN THE TRUCK. Granted she had the door open By the time we make it to launch the crap literally ate coatings off the door panel. Absolute madness. Any ideas??

 

Find the part number and replace that piece? I’m not as good at digging up schematics as other people around here but from this, it looks like that grey piece is part of the whole interior door panel… Oof I hope I’m wrong. might be able to pull one at a junk yard?

 

Installed a dual post 24f AGM battery from Costco ($194 for those interested). I had to flip it around as the posts were on the opposite side but the stock cables were plenty long. Also installed a auxiliary fuse bracket to clean thing up.

 

Now you get that your post sucks…. Pshht one at a time, you need the jack. It’s more shit us to buy and link. like this.

If you aren’t using a $600 jack to hold up your aluminum 30# skid plate then you’re a dumbass, waste of skin for a human being.

Ps. Nothing personal.

 

My experience with big rounds is ... They are heavy. Even at 18 inch length, rounds over 24 inches in diameter get picked up with the tractor loader bucket using log tongs.

The pick=a=roon is used on the bolts after the first pass through the four way on the splitter.
So, use the tool on the manageable pieces. There are videos of the tool use on the inter web. only six or seven minutes long. Worth a search! Stay warm!

 

Damn, sorry that happened. I learned my lesson with that shit many years back on a hiking trip with the wife ....
We were standing on some grass in front of our tent and decided to put on some bug spray. I had sunglasses on, and we had our brand new grill unopened a bit aways. We put the spray on, and the wind drifted and got some on the grill ans a tiny bit on my Oakleys.
It immediately ate the polarized coating of of my sunglasses, and ate through the high temp paint in the grill.
After being astonished at how potent the spray was, we looked down where we were standing, and saw 4 green footprints in a big patch of dead tan grass we just killed.
Deep woods Off and the like with high levels of Deet And eucalyptus is super caustic to certain things.

 

That shit ate the top of my kitchen trash receptacle after my daughter sprayed it in the house before going outside. Toxic shit.

 

Log tongs for the win. My neighbor loves them. I got a set of pallet forks for my wood but will use the tongs on long stuff. Love em. I think Stihl makes one but some friends I know who do lots of wood use the Fiskars Hookaroon. Lightweight and durable as in all Fiskars tools

$42 Fiskars 28" Hookaroon Saves Your Back - Lift, Drag, & Load Heavy Rounds of Firewood and Split Wood - Sharp and Lightweight Pick Tool for Logs - Pickaroon Logging Tool - Forestry Tools

I bought the Stihl because it was there. Not heavy, but just a straight metal pipe with no hand hold reference. Still, once the grip is right..... It swings nice. Mine is out on loan atm. Don't know when I'll see it again ;-)

 

Bug spray with Deet will damage the finish on most firearms as well. Even just a little bit on your sweaty hands will leave etched smudges and fingerprints - it can be nasty stuff!

 

uhhhhh so you said "It’s Friday, this is Tacoma world. We don’t need this logic. Opinions only."
wow!!!!!!!!!

 

So I painted my lugnuts today. They been bugging me why I didn’t do it when o painted my ghetto OR wheels.

I didn’t take them off on account of a hare brained idea that I had at work today.

The runs happened after I was done and rested it on a rag in the garage. Worked perfect. Not only that, the funnel got the paint around the sides stupid easy. Like it was built for that shyt. It was so fast and easy, I was pretty impressed. Definately a keeper red neck hack

 

Amazon’ed an AJT Designs case and a mini me of my truck.

 

you will forget about the door damage when you get a new younger wife, good luck

 

craigslist

 

They put in Deet in the laundry at the bases in Iraq.

 

Wait. Are you suggesting he sell the truck, buy a door panel, or find some magical service that repairs bug spray damage?

 

Thanks man me to !
They said they put in an order from Toyota and should be here tomorrow and then will ship to me on Monday . Fingers crossed it all works out
