Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

This one looks like a bird flying upward.

 

Todays flex! Yup, that’s six inches of air under that rat front tire…

 

You too, huh?
Me and the boy had to go stretch the truck out after putting those stiff skids on.

 

I worked until two and then on the way home took a new road. This is the Bear River, which I have not crossed at this particular place. No, I haven't cleaned up from Arkansas yet either... But my Jeep friends all accept me now.

 

Plans never go as planned, see. So when you don't make any plans, you'll never be disappointed.

Big Falls is my RR track equivalent to get everything worked back into place.

 

Nice pics guys!

 

Jon I really like the truck & tree pics.

 

I gave my truck some T.L.C. today.
Cleaned the interior, new air filter, cleaned the MAS sensor and the throttle body.
Got the wife her Mother's Day gift, a card, flowers and a new wash line poll.

 

Yikes. Good to hear you were able to make it back out ok. And you did get some cool photos.. Just not where you were expecting them.

 

I am continually impressed by modern computational photography. What the current generation of smart phones can do in low light is very impressive. There have been lots of times I have gotten better photos from my phone than the "good" camera. Usually that has more to do with the automatic HDR processing, but the stabilization and photo overlaying that happens in the background in low light is crazy.
A few years ago that would have required a workflow of stacking shots in photoshop and manually beating the pixels to get a similar result.

 

Thanks! I figured I would be posting a few shots here and wanted to be "on topic"

 

I did similar. New front pads and rotors, and changed the lube in both diff's and the transfer case.
Unlike a certain somebody that I will not name because their mother already named them @Pixeltim, I didn't get the full value from the pads. Still had a solid 1.5-2mm left.

I still need to clean the interior from Arkansas, and @Stoney Ranger has me thinking of maybe polishing out some of the scratches at some point.

 

I remember developing film in the dark room. Horizontal and Vertical line cameras. @Pixeltim remembers.

And with a few minor adjustments you can really make them pop. I shared originals but here's a comparison of before/after adjustments and one I didn't share before because it was soo light and faded out.

 

I am one of the odd ones wayyyyyy up north. I base in Ashland. We play all over the state and for the past few years some of us have been doing some bigger trips abroad.

We have a group doing a Tigerton run June 8-9 if you want to come and play. Camping and Old Fashioneds.

 

Good morning you mothers!

 

For all of the moms...

 

You spelled step dad wrong.

 

I knew it didn't really make sense. I just thought it was funny.

Probably more appropriate for Father's day, in hindsight.

 

Step dad's can be pretty cool.
I know one who is.
