Just a normal Saturday

 

how will you feel after your airbag light comes on?

 

dont forget bang shin on hitch

 

Somewhere in this description needs to be the part where I start a different project (like a bathroom renovation) before inserting the pin and finishing the install. If you guys liked this don’t forget to check out my next video where I fill up the gas tank on my way to the liquor store!

(Cracks open beer).

 

I put the 2 inch ball and hitch on this evening, getting ready to pull a boat tomorrow.
Forgot about the need for an extended cross pin on the Taco.

But boy, Am I smart, The long pin was right there on the shelf with the other hitches (2 " 1-7/8" no ball at all. etc.)
Still on the sales card, I must have bought it "last time", after using a bolt and nut. ;-)

 

Don't forget the trip to the FLAPS for the extra long cross pin!

Hard to do after all those beers!

 

The oil-change story had the author (and the truck) ending up in "police lockup" due to beer. You were lucky!

 

Installed the factory OEM Entune 3.0 radio with navigation.

 

Could you please make a video on how to install the bed mat.

 

I had an interaction with a poster who was flaming a thread. Looking him up he had over a thousand post and not one of them helpful in any way shape or form. All of them basically trying to start a war. So I told him to f*** off. In short order I had a PM from a admin telling me I couldn't talk to other posters that way. I tried to explain the situation, but he seemed very put off. Like he took it personally. To the point he banned me. A moderator here took the side of someone obviously doing nothing more than trying to start flame wars and band a legitimate poster trying to help people. That seemed kind of odd to me.

 

Meh, for me I really wanted the mini when I saw it for the first time. It's still in the box on my dresser. The look, the feel, the weight. it feels like quality. I got the OD Green one.

Have one of those already. Older batch, 2015 needs to go in for a refresher. Currently daily a SpiderCo Para.

As far as I can tell no, but I don't wear a wedding ring so take that into account. I really do like how much thicker the wheel is, the rear indentations for your fingers, the thumb groves are more aggressive and the black sections are more of a squared tube than the normal round feel.

I compare the stock to the Reveol here, if you're interested --

Form, execution, bed mat placement..

But I don’t see any beer….

 

I think you need to change your avatar

 

Oh, didn't realize this was you. Thanks for the install vid, helped a lot.

 

Best bed mat video install I’ve ever seen! It’s also the only one but it’s still the best!

 

I thought I would remove the mirrors to give it a more streamlined look.
