MARYLAND TACOMAS

Yessir. loosened and retightened all the bushings to reset them. I went around and rechecked them all twice before test driving, so no more loose ones. Otherwise theres an internal torsion in the rubber bushings where they're stretched and constantly want to return to their stock height "home" position. by loosening and retightening, it resets the "home" position to the lift height instead of stock height. Also needed to take out uppers to get in the super long rear springs

This is the bushings before they were loosened, see how they want to hold the stock positions

 

Tempted to pull the trigger on either Chemical Guys Hyrdoslick, Turtle Wax Graphene to the max or Adam’s Graphene kit while they’re on sale for prime day… prices are, in order, 28, 27 and 82.

 

Hydroslick is great! A year and a half on one application and it's still shining and beading water like I applied it yesterday. I had the truck 8 months when I put it on, clayed it first and then applied the Hydroslick. As soon as I finish up some other projects around the house I'm going to repeat the process on the truck and the '21 Camry my wife picked up in March.

(pics are from the weekend I put it on in Oct. 2019)

 

Have you put anything over it? I’ve got several different things on mine now (I really need to clay it). I think last time I decided to mix Turtle wax 35th anniversary paste wax, with chemical guys butter and wet waxes. Then used turtle wax spray and dry ceramic. At this point, I was just throwing things at it, seeing what worked for the pollen and water.

 

Nothing, just washing it with Chemical Guys Hybrid VO7 wash. The next time I do it I'm thinking about claying, then CG Wet Mirror Finish, then Hydroslick (hopefully time allows for me to do a few coats of Hydroslick this time)

 

Nice, I’m really considering this bundle with the hydroslick and hydro speed for 37-

Chemical Guys HydroSlick Hyper Car Wax & HydroSpeed Ceramic Coating Quick Detailer Bundle (2 16 oz Bottles)

Decided to get the bundle, clay mit and Adam’s detail spray to use as clay lube all for 62. Not a bad deal.
I am trying to figure out the order but it looks/sounds like it should be clay, hydroslick, mirror, butter, then I’ll finish it off with Turtle wax ceramic wet wax then maybe the hydro speed.

 

Hey all . Busy as shit again. Happy Belated Father's Day to you Dads.

Question........Didn't someone in here want to sell a gas operated post hole digger?
@Majora was it you Andrew?

If anyone knows of one for sale, I'm interested for the right price. Or a 3 point hitch mounted version. Or one they have not being used I can borrow.

It's time to build a fence for the pooch. We've actually made a lot of progress being off leash but she still wants to chase critters. I picked up some wood and metal posts on the cheap off Offer Up to keep cost down. My first goal is the back yard. Then expand into the front. I can't do it all at once so I need to be able to work as money allows.

 

Can’t help with much but could you use wood from pallets? Those are pretty easy to get lol.
I’ll be getting some this summer to build shelves.

I got a manual post hole digger you can borrow. Great for the upperbody and cardio.

 

Thanks much Eric. We're going with a wire fence. It's not that expensive and doesn't require a degree to install. Ultimately we'll plant a climbing species of vegetation at the base to cover it.

But don't think I haven't considered pallets in obscure areas of the woods where it will not be so visable.

Right now I have 15 8' pressure treated posts and 25 6' metal T posts. That should be enough for over 300' of fence.

Edit - passed out before I could post this reply last night Eric, sorry.

Since I got the detail stuff and will clay the truck, I’m looking at ceramic or graphene coatings. I figure since it’s going to be down to clear coat I might as well. Either the chemical guys hydrocharge (though it’s a spray) or one of the Amazon specials. Most of those are 2-3 year (self described) lasting products. I’m not looking at the one that has this description- “Extremely Hydrophobicity，Dlickness .Water beading and slickness”

 

No worries Rob, it happens. I was up later than I should have been debating buying stuff I don’t need…

 

Wrong answer recruit! And let's leave my upper body out of this.

 

I would never last in Starfleet Academy.

 

Mornin' neighbors- the storm taught me last night that there's some sealant I need to reapply to where my roof rack bolts in...fortunately it was only a puddle on the weathertechs, no wet seats

 

Make sure you give that headlining a good inspection. Could be a lot worse underneath there.

 

Hi William Hey guess what...........
