XPOTRPR build & BS

hoping to build a patio/cover/carport sometime soon too.

that's not bad at all.. sounds like the neighbors are at least cool enough to not complain.

 

None of my direct neighbors care, its the Karens that walk around on their daily walks.

 

always is

 

Little over 250 miles on the Diff.. slowly but surely.

 

lmao that sticker

 

hehe

 

ECGS break in period done and fluid changed. Looked pretty normal for break in. I'm going to change the fluid again in another 500-1000 miles and see.




from the drain plug magnet

 

Looks pretty normal to me . Not a bad 500 miles to drive nicely.

 

almost text you a picture when I was draining it to compare to what you've seen..

 

No bonus spring fragments or big chunks! lol Small loose scum on the magnet is normal. Should have mentioned to set the oil in the sun before hand, That Lucas is thick outta the jug.

 

it is thick! I like it. But yes.. I did set them out in the sun. lol

 

Got out for a little last minute shakedown run with some of the boys and my out of state uncle a couple weeks ago. He usually drives his built 5th gen 4runner, but I convinced him to bring the other toy this trip. He let me rip it up north for us to visit family... definitely some true boost.






I think this is where ripped off my Midland GMRS antenna









then we caught the start of the Silver Wildfire out there.. Crews were barely arriving and starting to handle it when we rolled out. Human made by some idiot in a SxS or not being responsible shooting.

 

Those wildfire shots though....

 

was pretty wild being that close.. pictures dont do it justice at all.

 

Guess I should've stuck around and checked out the fire! Dope pics!

 

I’m jealous and wish I could have stayed to do the loop!
Rad pick for sure!

 

We'll just need to go and do it again!
They had a grader in doing work on the queen valley side when I was there shooting Thursday. Donno if it rained up on the mountain or not.
Even if it did, I managed to creep through with no issues.

 

Another last minute trip out to the desert. Met up with the boys @prise and @Milota95 for some Dove and adventures.

 

Damn.. right when I thought the Taco was actually doing pretty good.. it bites me. Looks like I'm going to be pulling my crank pulley again. Heard something Saturday morning.. but it went away once the truck warmed up. (I'm pretty good about letting it warm up before driving it) Today.. I pulled into work and heard a rotation chirp/rattle.. so parked and jumped out to inspect while it was idling. Oil misted everywhere and visible runout on the crank pulley(s). Not sure if the crank bolt backed out after all this time and or if the cold had something to do with it.. but it either backed out.. or something cracked/broke.

 

I pray it's something simple
