    My thoughts exactly, or a bent backing plate.

    I just breezed through this weekend with a 2" lift and 265s. I was a bit nervous, but no sweat. I'm surprised they gave you crap considering your truck looks reasonably mild in your avatar.

    This, exactly. You'd be in more trouble if it were a Pre-Runner.

    I decided today would be a good day to start gutting my bathroom. I don't remember the last time I sweat that much. I'm not good enough to rebuild it well, but I'm more than capable of tearing it apart. Sink / Vanity is out, all the tile outside of behind the toilet and shower is out and a lot of the drywall is gone.

    I did find an uncapped live circuit behind the wallboard which was fun and exciting, luckily it was on a switch so I could safely de-energize it, but that's....terrifying.

    The guy who built my house was most definitely not an electrician. I replaced all the switches and outlets in the kitchen. Found an extra wire screwed onto the hot side of one switch. Turns out that is how he powered the addition between the house and garage. Worst part is the breaker panel was actually closer than this switch and has at least 10 blank spots.

    There are other horrors like that the smallest breakers are 20A but the wiring is mostly 14 gauge. Entire garage is on a 20 amp breaker too.

    What up peeps! Still in Maine. Going home tomorrow for a wedding and then right back up lol. Pretty nice up here but I miss the cape and how close the beach was (walk across the street and there it was lol). Lobster cakes, lobster rolls, raw clams, and my cousin came up with booze so none the less I am filling my belly.

    Well it dropped out; wasn't stuck behind the shield though...I think it dropped when I pulled the tire but wasn't sure so I then proceeded to pull the passenger wheel too. Probably a waste of extra time doing that but whatever the banshee left the vehicle so it's driveable again.

    Yup.
    As long as it isn't before 9AM on a Sunday, at least.

    Especially when they pull a cute face and a head tilt while they ask. And I'm a soft touch anyway.

    Southwick? I went there last year for the first time and was amazed how big it was. There's a new restaurant there too that is pretty good.

    No problem. You can buy it at a lot of the convenience store/gas stations too, but the variety is usually better in the grocery stores.

    What part of Maine are you headed to? Back up to camp?

    Same as NH, then. Cool!

    Old Orchard Beach, GF's family has a camper they're setting up for the week at some campground within walking distance to the beach.

    Cool! OOB is a...busy...place on the 4th. I made the mistake of riding down there a few years back and thought I was going to need surgery on my clutch hand by the time I found someplace to park. But if you're there for the week all you have to worry about is elbowing your way through crowds and standing in line for the bathroom.

    That's what I've heard haha. My family would always go to OGT/York. This will be the farthest I've ever been up in Maine, lol.
