Jezuz, 7.5!? That's a lot. Even with my big sled trailer I'm at 4 and I can lock the brakes up.

 

Exactly, I'd expect to be at 2-3 for unloaded use. I think I need to adjust the shoes more.

 

Yep, I keep it at about 4 and the big sled trailer is an aircraft carrier. 5 sleds and it's over 5500lbs for sure.

 

Do the 150's have the 'brake effort' selector? I'm at 5.5 with the camper but I'm on the 'low braking effort' setting. I have high, medium and low, then I select the gain. I sort of felt medium and high should be more for the loads between 10-20k lbs but I haven't messed with them to see how it's any different.

 

I think I do have some kind of setting for that in the menu, I don't remember what I put mine at I'll have to check.

 

So I went fishing yesterday with a couple of my buddies yesterday and caught a nice little sea bass.


So after fileting it we knew we needed more so a quick trip to Whole Foods was in order. We got another pound and my wife cooked it up on the grill.

Sorry I didn't get a picture before she started serving it.


She used this recipe and the only thing she did different was she used minced onion instead of onion powder and to squeeze the fresh lemons on after she basted it with the butter butter/garlic. All that I can tell you is that this was the best fish I have ever had in my life!!!!! Sooooooo good!

 

That was yesterday on the water? Wow. Looks a lot calmer than what my research showed it would be.

Sea bass are great eating fish.

 

Yup, they do. From what I understand the brake effort doesn't impact the maximum overall power sent to the brakes, only how aggressively they are applied. Mine is on low right now.

I'll need to crawl under it and move the star wheels a couple more clicks and see what the drag is like then. I was pretty conservative when I adjusted them before and probably should have had more drag.

 

Random but now that the third gen has moved along…. I have a couple things left over if anyone is interested. 2017 TRD stock headlights, an extra speaker grill cover for the passenger side tweeter, a short bed bed mat, a diff drop, and a carrier bearing drop. Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

And yes you read that right… my beloved third gen isn’t mine anymore I needed some more space so I went back to a full size. Maybe I’ll be back in a Toyota in a few years when the bugs in the new tundra are worked out

 

@Unchained 5150 FOR THE BED MAT! Unless yours comes with one.

 

It has one thank you

 

Cool!
Good eats!
We used to get the Trifecta here.
Fluke, Sea Bass and Porgies (Scup to you guys) the size of frying pans.

 

It was calm in some spots but not in others

 

Did an oil change.

Guess there's some mud under there. Took my trap door off. There was still a trap door of mud behind it



I gotta do my diff oils soon (have been putting it off, close to 35k now, should have been done around 30) so I guess it'll be coming down soon for that. Might touch up some of the paint then too.


PS @JDUB-Fabrication

 

Nice! I haven’t been able to any fishing really. Due to a bum shoulder. At doctors now.

 

I’m gonna try that for sure, thanks!

 

Anyone here have one of the Samsung S21 cell phones? My S7 edge is useless now. Battery dies before noon. Seems the 256gb versions are on backorder, do I care? 128gb should be fine? I'm not a phone guy so I don't know what I am doing. Maybe there is a better option, but I don't like iphones much.

 

If you haven’t had an issue with storage yet, the 128 gb will be fine.

 

That's what I figured.

 

My work phones are shenanigans. 32 gig for both (I pulled my "upgrade" to my personal phone, just put my personal SIM in it ) so I have an iphone SE (original, 5 twin) for work still going on 4 years and haven't missed a beat. Personal is a 7, 2 years old still going strong. Upgrade next month getting a (I think) 64 iphone SE new version which is a 7 twin. Getting the finger print instead, I THINK I can get a....10? as well also "free", but that uses the face rec to unlock. I won't be missing any of the upgrade features to get there though, and I hate the idea of that face unlock thing.

Anyway. I know MY phone doesn't have an SD card slot, do those? I never cared about storage since I was always able to add hundreds of GB in an SD card so who cares. Iphones are silly if it wasn't "free" work supplied, I wouldn't be on iphones.
