    Removed stock skid and mounting bracket, FluidFilmed what would be covered by the new skid, and retrofitted the Gen3 TRD skid that I was able to get for cheap.

    Nice set up. I'm back in the game again and my 2014 with at "6000" lb tow capacity pulls this 1600 lb (fully loaded) tent trailer just fine! Trailer brakes are really cool even at this low weight.
    Did a Central Soutern Oregon trip last week.

    Pulled the seats so I could vacuum the carpet (it was that bad).

    Nice! Road bike for the win. For a couple years back in my younger/better knees days, I rode my Cannondale to work and gave my 2000 1st gen a rest. 30 miles round trip daily. Almost 20 years later I still have the bike, but am now in my 2015 2nd gen, which I'm driving a lot more to give my knees a rest, haha.

    Wow, 1K a year in the saddle is no joke. Even 200 is still two century rides, so I'd argue you're still killin' it! And I agree - the bike is a nice backup when the Taco is in for repairs.

    Neither just yet, actually. 47 year old dad, and I'm still riding a 6'3" tri-fin shorty. Actually, it's the same one you see in my avatar pic. I have a longer 7'6" fun board, but it's a glassed tank and useless for duck dives. I'm sure I'll transition over to a longer board one of these days, which as you said, are most certainly coming for us, haha.

    Im feeeling a bit accomplished today. I changed the spark plugs on my TRD supercharged engine without taking off the supercharger. My knuckles and forearms took a beating though.
    I also replaced the downstream O2 sensors.
