The Lair

It is! But @EatSleepTacos has a point of the ad

 

you sure?

the 899 is brushless, i think the 889 is not tho.

 

Ahhhh yep, you’re right. I got the numbers mixed up a bit. That’s the same one I’m running and love it. Stupid powerful.

 

Truck question for you lair dwellers. The small square cover in the tailgate handle that would have otherwise housed the rearview camera has gone missing. I recently transported my girls new bedroom set and mattress sets with the tailgate open and it may have fallen out then. Anyway. I am in the search for this little bastard piece & cant find it anywere. Any of you guys know is it is sold by itself or where I could find it?

 

I have some smart wool base layer. My StretchDown is super warm! I will just be very reluctant to get out of the truck

 

Hmmm, lemme dig around a little bit.

If you're warm then you'll be fine! I bought some sweet ass socks and a new carhartt so hopefully I'll be nice and warm.

 

not sure if toyo can help you. I had to get mine from a buddy who bought a pop lock since i relocated mine to the swingout

 

No. Just let it go

 

I bought a handle from a base model that didnt have a camera

 

don't forget your goggles this time

 

I like mine. But IMO, it’s overkill for 98% of what I need for the truck. Which is why I recently acquired the Dewalt 3/8” brushless which is lighter and more compact and easier to pack for the trail. The 1/2” is HEAVY and not very maneuverable in tight quarters while working on the truck.



Size comparisons (all are brushless)

1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2”.

The 3/8” is actually more compact than the 1/4”

 

This went missing

 

yeah, find somone who has a pop lock, theythrow those out

 

Just gives you a workout while using it. I don't think it's too terribly bad, although a bit unwieldy at times. I was using it the other day to remove U bolts on someone else's truck, and it couldn't break them free!! I was astounded. Ended up using a 2' breaker bar with a 4' jack handle slipped over that, with all my body weight on it, and then they came loose.

 

thanks for the input,

i already run a 3/8 air impact with the truck, saw this and was attracted to its price.

 

In my youth, I pumped gas in Alaska. An old timer told me to put plastic bags on my feet between socks and shoes. I used bread bags at first, lol.
Kept my feet toasty warm, and sometimes a little damp (but better than cold).
Sounds weird, but warm toes are warm toes.

 

I am over in the Minimalist Camping set up thread right now. I am still not understanding sleeping in the bed situation and how it could be remotely comfortable with another human.

 

It sux. RTT for lyfe

 

Even a Ground Tent. I mean that is what we did all summer. It was great! King Pine 4 from LL Bean. Lifetime warranty front annex area and the bitch is tall af. But now that I am team Treeline. It is only a matter of time before I am in that RTT boat

 

Following @bski22 such pessimistic response of “no get over it” I am now looking at a rearview camera. I took the old backup camera universal set off my old Titan and will attempt to incorporate into my Taco. I found this nifty gadget on Amazon and was wondering if anyone has tried it?

Thanks for the motivation @bski22 !
