What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Okay, nobody replied.

I found a press in a local shop for ~$100.00, hope to get it Tuesday.

 

Moved to Michigan from Portland in 2021 so about 2000 miles was the move.. drove it a whole 200 miles last year. Just keep beating it up.

 

Same. I always park at the emptiest part of the lot

 

Not a 100% deterrent. Back in JR High a kid I knew (not a friend) lost his father in a car accident and he went completely off the rails. Anger personified. He got busted for vandalizing cars at shopping centers/malls. Police reported that he targeted vehicles that parked away from the other vehicles because “those are the people that think they are smarter than everyone else and they would be the most pissed”. Of course that was WAY before security cameras everywhere. Currently I do the same thing, partly because if I have something big I don’t have to worry about damaging a vehicle next to mine. But it hardly never fails however remote I am in the lot some tool will park next to or close to my vehicle.

 

I hope you’re still doing oil changes, since the recommended interval is based on mileage AND time (6-12 months for synthetics) whichever comes first.

 

You know I'm not even sure its walmart. Didn't notice till the day after when I wondered why my bumper was scuffed on my first break and then saw my light when I got off work. Walmart was the only other place i went to the day before. Based on the ghetto area I live in and how small the dent on my bumper was, entirely possible a crackhead just decided to beat the fuck out of my truck

 

They do that. One thought it would be fun to smash out my right rear window. I was in a crowded dog park parking lot. Aaaasshhhh, I was pissed.

 

no "sheet"..... i went to HD and parked all by my lonesome, as i getting out of truck some jack a$$ parks behind me so close i could not have opened my tail gate. i get back in and move it 3 lanes further away as he is trying to apologize....."f in" mouth breathers

 

c'mon people.....get out there driving and see the world......Exxon/mobil is counting on you

 

Some of us have more than 1 vehicle.

 

I have a Jeep and my Taco, but I always drive my Taco.

 

Once every 6-10K miles...

"Cleaner" just doesn't register

I guess one needs to be there to appreciate the calamity.

 

That trailer is bad ass. My red arc seemed a little vampy. Meaning. I think it had a draw.

 

4 oil changes in and when I drive it I throw it in and out of 4 high for 5-10 miles at a time to keep things lubricated.

 

Highly recommend this cnc bracket, but you've already installed the redarc so

Try to find that magic line in the parking lot where all of the employees are required to park. Find a corner spot and you’ll know those other cars won’t be moving for awhile. If you frequent the same places you will recognize the same vehicles in the lots.

 

Added fall decorations, maybe a snide early…

zip tied to the ditch lights and I was trying to keep them from touching the paint.

 

If you ask for pictures from TW members you can make tiny hoods for "Turkey Day" celebrations ...

 

I did the A/C Drain mod this weekend, was easy and there's no more dripping on the frame.

 

Bought a set of Up Down Air adjustable preset tire deflators

$35 Overland Vehicle Systems 4 Piece Adjustable Tire Deflator Kit & Storage Bag - (PSI 10-30 Lbs.) - Quick, Precise Air Down - Trucks, Cars, SUV, RV's, UTV's

P/N 97-9903 and tested them on my truck. It's similar to

$105 J.T. Brooks Automatic Tire Deflators PRO II (ATDPII-4)

JT Brooks Pro deflators but at a fraction of the cost - working principle is like the popular brass Staun deflators but has numbers printed on the threaded body. Mfr's page with instruction sheet: https://overlandvehiclesystems.com/tire-deflator



Accuracy test vs. 0-60 psi analog dial tire gauge:



Slow deflation speed is a drawback. Comparison with Teraflex deflators, 35 to 17 psi on a 35x10.5R17 tire, shows it takes twice as long to deflate as Teraflex. However, you don't have to watch the tires and check pressure while they deflate.
