Couldn’t afford it after buying lunch!

ECT Always On mod. Love it. 13K miles and less than 200 of them in Drive mode.
I knew buying an automatic was a mistake.

Cut a 1/4" rubber mat to 25x55 for folded back seats area to keep stuff from sliding around.

What size duratracs are those? 285/70/17?

 

I fed the bears, unintentionally. I left dog food and a few drinks/snacks in the bed of the truck under the tonneau in sealed tubs. I came out the next morning to find a "bear aware" pamphlet and a police officers business card on the windshield.

A lot of bear prints and light scratches around the truck. I think most of it will buff out. The X4S took most of the damage. Thankfully i was able to bend it back so it would still latch. $250 comprehensive claim, but debating on just fixing out of pocket to avoid a premium increase. Maybe it's finally time for that shell I've been wanting.

Anyone know the part number for the passenger side bed rail cap?

 

Yogi and those pic-a-nic baskets! But it was only property damage, not people damage.

 

Bears can be a pain in the ass. I had to take down all my fence line bird feeders because one kept ripping them off and taking them into the woods to eat. Thought the raccoons were doing it until one day my wife wakes me up from a nap saying “Uh! There’s a bear in our yard!”
So I look out the slider and
Got my pellet gun and tagged him and hollered at him to clear out before I let the dogs out. Bastard Olympic high jumped to the top of my cedar fence. Looked back at me like “Man I was just getting a snack” and took off. I then took all my bird feeders down from there and only do suet

 

Leave him a gold-foiled-covered chocolate medal.

 

Will get a night shot hopefully tonight.

 

If I had caught it tearing into my truck I would have a new rug for the living room.

 

295s, and they’ve been awesome. Debating going up in tire size now that the truck is geared. Probably get another set of duratracs if I do!

 

I forwarded your comment to PETA.

 

People eating tasty animals?

 

I guess you're right. Had I emptied out the truck on the last night like every night prior I probably wouldn't have had this problem.

Have you been here? It was closed, but it's supposed to open next month. Looks cheesy, but mildly entertaining.



Bonus pic...

 

Could it be the ABS pulsing? I know that hill

 

Much green fuzzy in NC, western parts at least ... probably not quite at 110 F like here in PHX. Cannot say I have been to that place you found. Was not in NC long enough to explore all of Blue Ridge Mountain area.

 

Finished the major parts of the platform today, solid as a rock!
