    Yup! :D Somewhere on here It tells you how to make a reusable one out of a furnace filter. I did that soon after reading about it and so far so good.

    OMG...
    THATS NUTS.
    But to each their own.
    I had a guy do that in my bay. Took him a half an hour. I couldn't move the truck. I told him he was tying up my bay. I had a big job waiter and he didn't care. So I charged him 60 bucks for bay time.
    The filter was still dirty and smelled like mouse piss.
    I haven't seen him again..:yes:

    Found a pup, friends of the owner even drove it to the small town I live near. Wanted me to take two, said no. They talked quite a bit, finally said good bye.
    Repo.
    I worked making sure Harleys got titled when I retired last year about this time, so had to come up with something related. Even a little.

    Thank you, hope it turns out to be a good dog, a Lab and German Short hair X. Seems smart, 7 weeks old, up and down steps to the deck. Knows the door is to the warm inside, have to push him outside. ) Was hoping for a cuddly pup, sharp teeth are hard on my ears. Will have to see how he comes along, showing personality already, attacks an old leather leash and small choke chain I brought in. Neighbor suggested a harness so he doesn't slip it or mess his neck up. Paper towels have been handy so far. Trying to crate train him, slow process I think. Will start giving him obedience training soon, I've self trained all my late dogs, Pooch was partially trained for SAR.

    I'm 60, a grandpa, and I just got a 2017 Tacoma. Not my first rodeo with Toyota's though. First one was a 1977 pickup. I can't understand all the talk on this forum about how bad the gen 3's are. Wife and I took the new truck on an extended weekend trip and it performed great. At one point in the Oregon coast range I had her up to 90 going up hill before the wife started squawking about going too fast, truck still had more go in her!!

    Hundreds of thousands sold, even a tiny percentage is going to be hundreds of vehicles.

    Susan, named the pup Repo. See my original post for full details and why. )
    More paper towels needed today, take care of bodily functions and he does the same! Did he eat that much?

    Evening all:
    :laughing: You will get through it Duane, looks like you found a good hiking buddy.
    Cute little critter, maybe the pup will grow big enough to put saddle bags on to help carry some gear----or it's food! :rolleyes:

    :anonymous: didn't get that was his name. Take him out after drinking & eating, waking up, when done playing and the accidents should lessen ;)

    Great looking pup, Duane! Puppy teeth are always the worst - like tiny needles.

    Welcome to the porch, Captqc! I'm still driving a 1st Gen but looking forward to moving up at some point.

    Welcome to the porch Captqc :wave: Great bunch of folks here and plenty of topics so jump on in and enjoy.

    Cute pup Duane, they need a lot of attention and TLC when they are young and with time they will grow to be a good companion. Squeaky chew toys should help with the baby teeth:).

    Hi Miss Susan:hattip:.

    Welcome Captqc. I don't know about where you live, but that truck should bring close to 2 grand. Good material for mudders/extreme off roading. Speaks loads with the new truck by it.
    HI Susan.
    Puppy is doing good, no issues, take him out every couple hours. He knows his way back to the barn when done. ) Put Repo in his crate for 6 hours last night, no mess. Of course we both woke up bout the same time for nature call. At 4AM. Funny when he launched off that small stump yesterday.

    I put the 84 on Craigslist for $3,900 and sold it in two hours for $3,700! Speaking of puppies, I'm thinking that a new pup would go well with the new Tacoma! Just need to convince my wife.

    That was a pretty good price. When I sold my 07 Civic, I got my asking price a year ago.

    Morning all:
    Amazing that the older Toyota 4X4's bring some good money!

    Darn, just found two more ticks imbedded in me, looks like it may be a bad year for them! :( Need to remember to spray my turkey hunting gear with permethrin to repel them, otherwise I will probably have them all over me.
