Jr.  I was in BH and then Monterey at the Hyatt resort.  It’s been non stop.  Of course breakfast for the girls is usually around 11 lol.  Can’t get anyone on a schedule.  Then a very brief stop in Santa Clara for the girls to see Taylor Swift (shut up, Shawn) and then back to Houston.

Now the wife wants a house in Carmel…..highly unlikely

I hate those man lifts! The only ones I have used are military version and they never worked right or would die at the wrong time. Stuck in one near the tail of an AWACS when a thunder storm rolled in. They had to pull it away from the aircraft with a truck and crack the cylinder hydro line to get me down. Was not a fun ride

tell us about that samm
Well, we have but our one son.
He and his wife have been sending pictures and listings non stop.
There is an ‘area’ they (being the whole lot of the in-laws, outlaws and the rest) want to be at, and visit regularly.
Not on water, which I’m ok with.
No waterfront taxes and issues.
About a one minute walk to the marina.
So close.
Family own the place next door.well you get the picture.
Shop is 30 x 42 plumbed for in floor heat, 12” ceiling.
And there’s a pretty red house that 6 liked.

I pray it all works out for you and your family. I am sure you are going to miss your lake island place.

Sam, did you put new rubber fuel hoses in with the new tank?
Nate, I didn’t.
Didn’t even cross my mind…

I hope I don’t need to anytime soon.
FWIW all the rubber bits on this are still OE and are still good in appearance.
Brake lines fuel lines etc.

So the reason I am saying that Sam, is when I had my lbz, those short little rubber fuel hose sections would collapse when hot and starve the cp3, which caused premature failure.

I know you just did all that high $$$ work on the engine rebuild, and I mention this because I would hate to see all that hard work and $$$ get flushed because of a failure of an 8" little rubber hose.

Cool first ride, rebuild it as there isn’t much to them. 4cyl? If so it’ll sound like my wr450 and make similar power!  :likebutton:

3 ltr V6. Rebuild kits are $500 after a quick search, used motors start about the same. Need to pull the motor either way, what the cylinder walls look like is the deciding point.

Copy assumed maybe that was still 42re (not a yota guy so just a guess)

Well, youngest is turning 16 this Oct. and has been eyeing toyotas. We/he just bought a 1995 4Runner, V6, auto. Needs an engine, but for $900 we can do that and knew up front. Needs the basic TLC but for a 30 year old SUV, paint, seat covers ,etc. Options are to rebuild or swap motor, was told it was run low on oil, but runs.
That’ll be a great first rig! We owned a 95 long ago as well as an 02 and a 00.

I did a little swapping/upgrading today
What am I looking at?

So you had a last gen D-max LP5...Is this something different?

I took off the diamondback tonneau cover and put an ARE canopy on it.

Now I just need help figuring out some sort of tool, strap, hitch stuff storage so it's not in the way.
I sure did love a truck shell.  Just a pia to store or take off and heaven help me to remove one for a long bed on my own. 

What do you mean hitch storage? Like a metal rack to go in your receiver

when i had a canopy on my LBZ, it never came off. if i have to haul larger things, I have either a 10' dump trailer or a 28' enclosed car trailer. so if the top came off, it would be a once in a lifetime thing ... lol (famous last words)

I have a bulletproof hitch system, with a dual 2" & 2-5/16 that stays in the hitch and i have a 1-7/8 that i kept in the truck box along with a couple extra pins.

thank you ryan, that built right system looks pretty neat. and luckily they do make one for an 18 standard bed 2500. I would have to ponder that $600 - 1000 price tag. the only thing that would make this a no-go for me is that it takes away my upper tie down eyelets ... as this system secures itself in to those 2 holes. i might be able to make it work.

i have seen a few different versions of that swing case, and have pondered it. after watching a clip of the system on a screen that i can see, i could possibly see that as being an option.

Now I just need help figuring out some sort of tool, strap, hitch stuff storage so it's not in the way.

Hitch stuff storage goes under the back seat.

I transport dogs back there, so under seat storage is not really an option.

In all honesty, I do not keep items like the list below inside the cab of my truck. I have personal experience and knowledge of just how deadly of a projectile those types of things can become in a rollover. Wendy tries to give me schiff because when i get into the drivers seat of any vehicle, because it takes me a few moments to put stuff in secure places and remove crap that does not need to be in the drivers compartment of the vehicle.


this is a list of what stays in my truck at all times:

1. several different straps for securement of loads in either bed or trailers
2. a set of emergency triangles
3. a 10 ABC fire extinguisher
4. a fully equipped tool bag
5. 2ga x 25' jumper cables
6. 1-7/8 hitch ball

I was having some issues very similar to this with my lbz.

The radio and things would not shut off and sometimes not even come on when the drivers door was opened and closed.

As ryan said, I changed the window switch assembly and everything started working correctly again.

Rockauto has oem switches between $110-165

Make sure you swap out the old fuel lines and don't let them get pinched.  The morons who put my 52 gal titan in my LBZ charged me for new lines that they did not swap out and they pinched one of the lines, which in turn caused a premature cp3 failure.

How are those work boots?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They’re ok, with all the snow and wet I’ve been wearing my muck boots a lot. Broke out sneakers for on the roof today. After discussing the boots with a couple of guys the consensus is heat and sweat to get them broken in properly. Not the ideal time of year for that atm. I currently have 15 hours in them and need around 100 before I oil them further. I can get them on at least now w/o creating sores on my feet so that’s a plus.

You are a big boy, can make your own decisions, and can leave others opinions as you see fit.

From a large man being forced to walk many, many miles in all leather boots with heavy amounts of weight on my back, i have recommendations i can offer if you would like them.

Sold the enclosed trailer to a Jamaican guy who wants to use it for his portable dog grooming business. He had never pulled a trailer, it was like teaching my wife to pull a trailer. He had ambition so I did what I could do to help. It was an adventure.

I also acquired Ken’s B-day present. It’s very fitting, although I’m not sure when his b-day is? Anyone know????

30 november i believe

Nate,
If you have a plan or some ideas, let me know. I am working with Jeremy on a whole new setup for us.

His idea is to migrate the entire site in beta mode to another server, then use it a little bit. If it works, then just close the door here on this problematic server.

I am about to talk to some people about the advertising thing.

I am also waiting for some feed back from 1 or 2 different folks.

Ill let you know as soon as i hear something.
