NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Yeah, it's a 2011 LX570. Insanely clean; it's basically an 8 year old brand new car.

 

I am now PAINFULLY jealous. See if you can find some of the newer oem rims, they look cool as hell. Once all the rugrats are up and running, I'm thinking about upgrading to a full-size mommy missile.

 

How many cats do you plan on having to need a 7-seater SUV?


(says the guys who bought a 7-seater SUV to haul around his 1 human child)

 

Oh, and I just realized the TRD supercharger for the Tundra will work on these...

 

One human child is almost done (due March) and she will need a sibling since only children like myself are weird and selfish. Also we dont like sleeping or money. Also probably another cat and maybe a dog. Because fuck my life

 

We did the second kid mod. I am still unsure if I can go back to stock or not.. I am tempted to bring in a 3rd dog though. Found a Belgian Malinois that would fit into our house perfect, but wife seems to think 3 dogs would be too much for us right now.

 

Congrats Sam, I didn't realize you had procreated.

 

Sleeping and money are overrated as I've found with after the 2nd human child mod. We've finally reached the stage of meaningful communication with the newest one. Unfortunately, that communication consists mostly of "Me pee on floor," which I suppose is better than finding it while walking around in socks. We've also been successful at shoehorning all of the humans and various child life support measures into a 2005 Corolla, though the 2015 DCSB is more comfortable. The adults in the family are currently in deliberations between going the plain minivan soccer mom route or the cool soccer mom 4Runner or GX. There are valid arguments all around though I think it would be easier to tow the teardrop with something that's got a taller hitch.

 

Finally got someone to hold still long enough

 

If they can say "me pee on floor" they're ready for potty training lol. Our 1st was trained before 2 years and our 2nd we just trained a little after 2 years.

We have an RDX for hauling everyone but the taco still works when we go to costco or what not but it'll be tight in there later on when they're in boosters. My son already kicks the hell out of my back seat.

 

a minute is all you need.

 

You greatly overestimate my abilities

 

We were definitely spoiled with our first. She decided she didn't want diapers anymore and that was that. She was two. She did have a few accidents, usually at night, but daytime wasn't a problem. My son, on the other hand, doesn't care when and where he goes, nor does he care what he's wearing. Incentives don't seem to work, charts don't work, talking with him doesn't work. It's been frustrating. He knows how to use the toilet. We've got three of the little training potties strategically around the house, plus the kids seats on the other toilets, so he's never more than about ten steps from a toilet in the house. Using the toilet just isn't important to him. It's been frustrating to say the least.

 

Doing a snow run up Tonga ridge tomorrow morning if any of you are interested in joining. 10 am at the last round about on 2 before the pass. Meet at the chevron there. Got about 5 rigs lined up so far.

 

Well im impatient. Here's the final result with less clear coat in one shot, but about 3-4 light coats. I already scratched it putting it in the truck.

 

First tracks up 7222 today. Snow was pretty good

 

Went up there today. Not to much snow. It’s all mostly at the very top

 

Just a heads up if anyone with a 6 speed manual is dealing with a squeaky throw out bearing like mine, there is a group buy going on for a hydraulic bearing kit from Clutch Masters that looks pretty legit.

Clutch Masters Internal Release Bearing Group Buy
