    If anyone has a front avid light bar (05-11) that they're *thinking* about parting with, I'd totally be interested! Would probably be willing to pay pretty close to retail to avoid shipping...

    And if you have the rear one, I may also be interested.

    Yea, helps mpg's enough to go thru the hassle. and I drive a lot so it makes a difference. Took me about an hour and a half to unbolt the rack, have jen help me get the rack with tent still on it on the floor and in its place i cleared for it in the garage, then put the tonneau cover on. Not like I really enjoyed it but it wasn't bad. Only tough part is finding a space to put the rack/tent and getting it off if your're by yourself. And lucky me I dont have anything really on the rack...

    how was your weekend at work Monte!? two big days?

    Yea. Its not too bad really. Just being a customer service guy all day. Standing all day though takes it toll. But its not too bad.

    I escaped having to do birthday parties today so that was a win.

    Got my challenge photo and uploading now. Not what i wanted..but still its pretty cool

    :woot: glad you got a shot. Lots of good ones this week!!

    I know some guys who have standing desks at work, I never got how they stood all day... I mean sure it burns more calories but I dont need to cuz I am pretty active with my outdoor sports and also I just feel like shat if I stand that long.

    changed the passenger cv axle on the 4runner this weekend, then decided to change the fluids in the diffs. of course i drained the rear diff before making sure the fill plug would come out..... and of course it wont and is rounded off. good thing i have an e-locker, i pulled the actuator and filled the diff through there lol.

    ya i will weld a nut onto it later and try to get it broke loose, or it will be a good excuse to give the wife for a diamond housing lol. i was hoping to have all my SAS parts before i had to do the cv axles, but the cv came out in 3 pieces, so i guess it needed doing.

    The Laramie GM body shop worked on Pyroskier's truck after he put it on its side. I looked hard to see any imperfections and couldn't find a damned thing wrong. They did a helluva job.
