    Mine at home is a little older with wires on both sides to keep it square, but it still works and still gets used.

    Not Toyota related, but you might appreciate this YouTube video:

    Thanks, I'll have to check it out at home. Here at work, the DoD seem to think that all the people who they sent home to work (except me) feel that streaming anything (Youtube, Netflix, etc) puts an undo strain on the network. It's like their network management abilities got a disease. Thanks again!

    Got my bed rack finished up. Its 1 inch square tube covered in black pool noodle. Mounted to the bed rails with relentless rail mounts. The kayak can sit on top of the rails upside down. In the winter time the foam will be removed and a basket will be bolted to the rails to act as a shelf for things. I chose this way to mount kayaks so I can keep my tailgate closed and haul the kayaks. That way I can put stuff in the bed and not worry about it falling out.

    Only if uninvited, gentle as a lamb otherwise.
    Someone else eluded to the opinion that Riley would only attack if trained, I disagree. That said he WAS trained via the Koehler method so that's not a wheel that I would recommend spinning. :D

    Nothing at all wrong with the old school way of doing things. If it wasn't for digital micrometers and verniers half of the young dogs that I work with would be SOL.

    I also cut my teeth on those old boards all the way back to '86. Ones with the guide wires and the slides. However, the plastic straight edge in the slide pic makes a perfect back scratcher. Have one on by desk to this day. Right next to my Dual screen monitors. Man have times changed.

    Finally got to enjoy some quarantine time. Got half the yard mowed before the rains came ( It’s been absolutely beautiful here ..except for the pollen the last two weeks. My first day off in those two weeks... and it rains. Go figure ) So I decided to I needed to at least do some mods on my truck. So I installed the Matt Gecko hood light. Guess I’ll go sit on the couch now and be a good quarantiney 664BFABF-698F-41D8-B916-16060372AAFE.jpgA1FFE6D6-C5F2-4FEF-8986-077EE56D7BEB.jpg

    As many as I can fabricate
    These post brought a smile to my face, ugly face it is, but smile. Lol. That desk is awesome. I started as a draftsman in 1972 at a semi secret company in McLean, Va. I did corrections on drawings from 5pm to midnight after school. I was way too young to have a clearance but my dad worked there...(those were the days right?). Love your adaption of useful tools around the room. Do it every day in fabrication on this damn truck..lol. Thanks for the smiles and laughs. Oh, I've god a few years on Autodesk drawing maps as well. Hate it..lol

    Sounds like BS to me. Head to the dealership and check out all the vehicles on the lot. See how many have condensation in the headlights. Report this information to the dealer and see what they say. Maybe I am wrong and you will find a bunch of headlights that are similarly afflicted but I am guessing you will find nice clear headlights.

    I have bought too many to remember which ones are these from, some in Amazon and some in AliExpress.

    Just get some random 12v waterproof led strip. I got a 5m reel of cool white 5050s, I did all the soldering and splicing myself.

    Installation is actually easier than it seems!

    I'm editing a video tutorial I'll be uploading to YouTube this weekend most likely!
