What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Well played, sir…

 

Yeah my decades long dream final came true in November 2019. Apparently a Whataburger opened up for all the Texans last week and later this year El Pollo Loco will open up here as well.

Now all I need is some halfway decent Asian food up in here…

 

Adalbertos…?

 

Thanks! When I saw you use it earlier I laughed and laughed because I forgot I keep that one in a memes album on the phone. It was an opportunity that could not be wasted! BTW, that is a very interesting history. I think you nailed it, that pretty much is where things are going.

 

Yes, that is the master cylinder on the driver's side and you do have to move it to give room for the strut. Spiker has a spacer kit available when you order the struts or you can make your own if you grab some plastic spacers from the hardware store.

 

J’s Noodles on Federal my man

 

tell them TEXAS is closed too

 

Did you make that???!!

 

Aces & eig...er aces

 

Meh granted there are some decent but not great places to eat on Federal. Some ok Viet cuisine, sure. Saigon Bowl on Federal and Alameda and for banh mi Baker’s Palace isn’t bad. A shocking lack of Japanese and Korean cuisine is a fact out here.

I go to Vegas to eat my people’s food lol can’t beat $39 or cheaper one way flights on Frontier…

Plus once you've actually tasted authentic Viet and Thai food in their respective countries, then paying at least 5X as much here just ruins it lol. I've been spoiled eating the best pho from any joint in Hanoi for under $2 and enjoying grilled shrimp and squid for like $1.50 at a floating market in Bangkok. Getting that wanderlust itch to go back to Asia again...after I finish paying off all the nonsense I bought for the Taco.

 

Started making my own tailgate insert today. Used the existing insert as a template for the sides. The cup holders should be delivered tomorrow, so I’ll need to decide how many I want and where to place them in the panel.

 

Montana is closed too. It's sooooo bad up here during summer. But, still easier than all the other places I've lived to escape and get lost.

I'm a Montana transplant that grew up in CA (San Diego), moved to Oklahoma City, then Virginia Beach and then Army stuff. Been to Germany and all around; Fort Carson too. Then after the Army - Virginia Beach, San Diego again, now Montana. Who knows what's next?

Texas? Colorado?

But California just long enough to get a plate first.

 

All I did today was wash mine to go to Walmart Shopping for Food tomorrow? OH, dropped off my new rims to have my tires mounted on them too!! She sure shines up nice still!!

 

Which grill guard is that?

 

It’s what was found carved into a tree after the colony at Roanoke va failed.

 

That looks like it's coming along nicely. Is that metal or another composite like the oem one?

 

Also. The desert is amazing. I like it out there better than I thought I would.

 

Seriously it's really upside down? I thought the pic uploaded upside down. Guess I need to look a little closer.

 

Thanks.
It’s a composite, 1/4” ABS. From what I read and what the guy at the plastics store told me, ABS will hold up really well to the abuse of stuff getting dropped on it and slid across it. Plus the texture on it is similar to the OEM insert, so I’m hoping it isn’t slippery when it gets wet.

 

You too. Drive safe.
