Ditch lights coming in clutch.. no ditches in sight however

 

Funny ... the man in the grocery store who sold me the charm that keeps away lions told me that!

 

It is extremely hard to argue with any of this logic.

I should probably get off lazy butt…

 

I got new tires for it. Some KO2’s in stock size the Goodyear wranglers that came on it were bad and weren’t wearing well. I wanted some KO3’s or wildpeak ATW4’s. They don’t come in the stock size or a proper load rating. So far they seem to ride much better.

 

Well, It's not what mod have I done to my third gen, it's what I have done with my third gen LOL. I wish I had pics but it was a busy spot for this to happen so had to be quick. I got to pull a little old lady out of a ditch, she had missed the driveway at Dollar General. The truck yanked that car out without a problem, felt like I was using my Ram 1500 I am very impressed. I am happy I made the jump to my TACO!!!!!

 

Good stuff!

 

Wow.. that's pretty awesome actually

 

Racked up more miles and collected a bunch of bug guts on the windshield and front grille.

AZ to Utah to Idaho to Oregon to CA and back to AZ.

On the way to Cascade, ID



Mt. Shasta



Back side of Shasta Lake Dam

 

You really want to go back east to rainy and cold, with trips like this even further away? You be ...

 

NC is off my list. Scenic, just wasn't for me.

 

Neighbor is laughing at me! “So! What are we doing to it today!?”

 

We must have the same neighbor!

 

Me third! lol!

He is intrigued anytime I wrench or I have my friends come over and wrench. Said he doesn't see people wrenching that much anymore.

 

What is next in the list?

 

A fresh set of tires, an oil change and a full detail.
I really liked Meridian/Eagle ID. I'd like to explore northern ID, WA and OR more. Winter is closing in though.

The Great Lakes and FL are of interest. I've been considering getting a Winnebago Micro Minnie or Hike 100 travel trailer.

 

Not everyone can hypermile their Taco...you must learn the ways padiwan.

 

thank you! i ended up going with the DAC tent from softopper - it looked a bit more roomy although being less sturdy. I don't camp in much inclement weather so i figured the trade off was worth the extra room.

 

We ALL must!!!

What are you doing now???

I said brakes....

He said ALREADY. ?

I said I'm at 71k on the original pads...

He said....oh.... I didn't realize you had that many miles already.

I said...... That's why I'm always doing maintenance... That's why I bought a Toyota... Not for 100k, not for 200k, but for the 300k+ haul

 

Reminds me of a convo I had with someone recently. I was talking about building my next camper trailer and whether or not I wanted some features. They said to think about resale value and I told them I don't buy or build things with the next person in mind, I buy or build for myself. Thats why I never worry much about putting miles on my vehicle, I bought it to use it. They then stated they try to not put too many miles on in case they want sell it, so I asked them if they avoid having sex with their wife to save her for the next guy in case they get divorced.
