Wisconsin Tacomas and bad financial advice

I've had the plow out more times than last year.

 

Update: I was pretty sore/stiff that evening. Yesterday was still a bit sore/stiff unless I kept moving, exercising/stretching last evening was better. Today, I feel better than I have in years. I'll be giving the therapist 2 thumbs up next time I see her. And, she got my electric fencer comment, it made her chuckle.

 

Where there's Northern there's panfish.
Where there's 3 Northern there's probably no panfish brave enough to show themselves.

 

Good day to get out and play.

It looks like winter, again.

 

Iceroad Truckers would've been butt puckering, today.

 

Sitting out on the bay watching ice racing Snowing pretty good still

 

We found some trails on unchartered ground worth exploring further.
Fresh powder. No tracks. We left some behind.
How many deer are in the picture below?

We scared up 3 bald eagles together, but they were camera shy.

You need a nice big light bar to look out for deer at night. Probably like a 40 or 50 inch Rigid on the roof would work.

 

Rigids are junk now. They've been cheaping out on components and using Chinese.... Everything.

Sad to see it, they used to be top of the game.

 

You take any pictures lately? Asking for a friend...

 

They're all made in China, anyway. I'm not sure if you can get away from it. I went with Rigid because of the output. Oh, and because @Shellshock told me to.

I have been so happy with my D-SS ditch lights and 20" SR in the bumper. Great output and they hold up to the weather. I've had 0 regrets about spending the money.

 

At minimum, I need to raise my headlights a little. I can't see for crap with the low beams.

 

DD code in 3, 2, ......

 

I need to adjust mine, too. I thought they were too high after the repairs in 2023, but I think I over-compensated and the driver's is too low. Maybe I'll putz with it tomorrow while I'm working on it.

 

Same code still applies to both Diode and Form, X191

But if you look at a lot of the comparison shots out there, Rigid has some good output... But it's more about usable. Good output with non-crappy lenses. And their prices are a little ridiculous. I know everything's expensive lol

 

Ditch lights would be useful out where we were. They're somewhat UTV/ATV roads.
Be courteous and you might only get mean mugged by a UTV. But hey, out in that country they drive on regular roads so potato potato.

Wasn't much out there today but us, a plow, an Amish horse and buggy and another Taco. (looked like he was up to no good, as well).

 

Which ones run hotter?.
Those would be better for melting the snow off the lenses.

 

One thing I've learned to appreciate about Toyota is the ease of modding.

I've been trying to add a remote start kit to the wife's Ford.

After some trial and error I thought I found the right kit. But since it's a push to start, the kit is useless.

Returning it for Amazon credit and buying more baby stuff I guess.

 

I've never had a remote start so I won't be any help.
Seems strange, though.
Keyed ignition or push button, they're both just switches.
