    Took the dogs out to piss in the yard before bed, and some how a baby skunk got trapped in my enclosed yard. Lil dog knew right away something was there, and luckily he's always leased to a retractable leash. Big dog got a face full of skunk ass. Since he decided to go investigate after his piss. Lets say the baby skunk did not want to leave the dog alone, and I also resorted to throwing cans at the skunk leave my little dog alone. Aaaaaaand now after washing both, my big dog has a stank spot left on his mouth, and i sense of smell if shot. FML

    Brake clean buddy. How did you get gear oil on your calipers?

    You should switch to SS lines, and bleed the brakes, when i switched it made a hug difference, not to mention hundreds of dollars cheaper.

    MJ, forgot about the fluid on the shoes. Didn't realize they were leaking.

    On another note to others, you should have received the first of the two letters on the clock spring recall. The fix is due in around August, so letter number two should arrive closer to then.

    That's another good option.

    I was curious about the big brake kit. I know a guy with a xrunner that has the bb kit though it was there when he bought the truck so it's harder to say whether it's that much better.

    Haha I got in at 12 so 3 hours. My boss didn't mind though, so that was cool. I felt bad for Jerry because I took up his entire morning.

    Yup no traffic at all. :cool:

    Is anyone from the South bay headed up to see Jerry? I bought a light bar and I don't have time to go pick up.

    I know there was a thread for this kind of thing but I couldn't find it.

    Thanks Matt

    I'm always a day late and a dollar short.

    Just missed out on a new TRD super charger in So-Cal and I was in So-cal over the weekend. :(

    skum suckers are out in full force right now.

    Walked out to my truck to go to work this morning and found a missing 31" half tread spare that was bolted to my carrier. I took off the lock a couple weeks ago and didn't get around to locking it back up. :mad:

    Parked right outside my front window...I feel so violated.:pout:

    Good think i keep my ammo can locked or else they would have gotten away with a nice strap and tools.

    I'm not positive but the BB kit for the x-runner is 5 lug, also if your trd i believe the brakes are bigger compared to x runner anyways.
