I forgot to order a new front drive shaft for the Tundra. I should order a new 4wd electronic transfer case selector. I need to order front LCA (frame mounted) bushings for the 100 series. But I dread that job and try to avoid thinking about it. New motor mounts may be useful later this year of next for the 100. An item that goes NLA (experience from other cars) is the electric air mix door motors.

 

Cruise still works, dunno if that means anything.

I think the actual horns died, I've only had about 1/2 horn power for 2 years

 

I've been getting some experience with Bring-A-Trailer. From a user perspective, I think it sucks. However, it is very popular. There was an auction site that I liked where you could enter your max bid amount and the site managed placing bids in increments if you started losing. I usually know my limit in advance and would like to set if and forget it. The user interface doesn't give a good dashboard with a consolidated view of your bids and the current status. The site requires a lot of unnecessary busy work.

 

eBay is the only one I know where you can set your high and it'll raise incrementally. That's where I got my truck in '17.
I don't mind the BaT setup, mostly because if I'm bidding on a vehicle I want to be involved on the final day anyway. Though I've bottomed out on the last two haha. The last few minutes are usually the most interesting (depending on what you're watching) when people have two-minute battles. I've been happy with it so far, just haven't won anything.

 

@CS_AR Speaking of...be interesting to see where this goes. Is yours a double?

That one is nice. I've seen prices move up on the 1st gens. I think there is an audience for the clean body lines and simple HVAC controls.

I'm a 2000 model Access Cab. I actually like the pillarless suicide doors. I'm planning to remove the back seat and to install some drawers. The front seat is the full bench. Though I need a console to hold my junk.

 

I still like a bench with a folding center. The one in my old Sierra was big and comfortable.

 

If I had a lot of money to blow, I would get one of these Arctic Truck AT37 LC 250s. I'm seeing people go hog wild crazy about the new Lexus variant. The get in the interstate and wind them up to 90 or 95 and pass everybody on the road.

grabbed a fresh shaker bottle out of the clean dishwasher, gave it a quick look as always and it was good to go. make my usual chocolate shake, as I work towards finishing the whole thing I get to the last sip and suddenly the taste is very…tangy? sour? and its a bit chewy?

pause.

horror.

pretty sure i went through the 5 stages of grief within seconds as i come to understand the piece of dishwasher food that must have been stuck to the lid and hitched a ride in unnoticed

 

This is going on right in my nose.

Temu Boefangs won't transmit, can only listen....

Dangit

 

might be fried from trying to transmit without antenna attached? or soft locked? could try to reprogram

 

Time to bust out the USB cable and open up CHIRP

 

I'll have to google more when I get back to town

Oooh?

 

It's how I always programmed my old Baofeng radios

Even got weather and law enforcement on them (for listening)

 

theres a spreadsheet on TW somewhere that has some of the CO/UT repeaters in it for easy programming
