    Temping. But we'll have temps near 0° F and windchills below that for 2 or 3 nights. That's damn cold for us. I better pass

    I made a run to the recycling center today after gathering up all of the used oil/antifreeze jugs from the shed. Good grief, I had about 7 gallons of engine oil since the last cleanout. ( fall of 2024?) I finally dumped 3 gallons of the Toyota type IV that I had to drain out of the 3rd gen T4R a few years ago. The T4R uses Toyota type III, the local stealership promised me that the type IV would work in the T4R, it didn't. The trans wouldn't shifting properly and the converter wouldn't lock up properly. It was so much money wasted that I couldn't get rid of the fluid, until today.

    No snow in the forecast anymore, yet the roads were saturated w/ the pre-treatment today. It's getting close to the end of Feb and around here, if there's any March snow it happens in the first few weeks of the month. Hopefully the end of this winter is getting closer.

    Thats a nice, solid work station that you have set up.

    Fresh from the scrap metal section of the dump. Outside of a few scratches , no damage or funk anywhere.

    It will work good enough for me!

    Cruising around In a 37 year old firewood truck and taking something from the dump, it doesn't paint a great picture. :eek:

    I had one!

    Every since I saw an episode of Hoonigan where they did this, I've been wanting to try it.
