Case in point of the difference.

Case in point:

 

Still 95 outside here. Hot as balls for a place that will be 100F colder in 9 months.

 

It has been under 40 once since 2006 here. Usually, "winter" is the 60s. Hilarious seeing locals in parkas at that temp. I'm in shorts & a flannel.

lol

 

Christ almighty, gives us a shipping update or a new vehicle trade in post. I don't care about the weather!

 

Your wish is my command:
SS lines are in the garage.

 

This just happened.


Painted the tow hooks & installed the skiplate, need different fasteneners for the bumper.

 

Posted on the Tundra forum and a guy responded these are the fasteners it comes with for the bumper skin and I posted I just got 400 shitty plastic fasteners and what do you know???

Worked perfectly!




lol

 

You going to drive it over anything that might hit that skid plate or are you just worried about curbs at the mall?

 

He's going to drive over whichever company doesn't delivery his stuff the same day he orders it.




Skid plate looks good!

 

Lotta slow as fuck jeeps around these parts.

*edit*

What is this mall you refer to? I'm unfamiliar with this term.


Why do I have to wait to order?????

Thanks!

 

But seriously, this vehicle (and Tundras) have 4 cats & are a huge target for cat theft. This protects the front set. I am looking into another plate for the back set.

Plus, it looks cool!

:P

 

Brakes!

 

Slept in to 6am! Miracle but it was already 97 and I wanted to do the dog door so brakes will wait.

Turned out the screws are inside accessible from the opposite side of the door.

Home Depot would only sell a 10 foot roll of carpet and I need 53"x5" so fuck that.

 

You can probably get something suitable at a fabric store.

 

It was the same carpet as was in the bedrooms before we installed the wood floors.

She wants something similar. Honestly, left to my own devices, I'd just call it done.

lol

 

Local mom and pop carpet stores are more likely to have some remnants "in the back" that they might be able to help you scrap something together. We used to do that in college... Go grab scraps of whatever to cover the floors and absorb the spilled beer soda.

 

Good idea, I found a few companies online that do that and emailed them yesterday.

I went out & picked the truck up. Damn thing has new rotors & pads all around. I'm too cheap to scrap new parts so the brakes are on hold until my cheapness is outweighed by my want to have neat-0 rotors. I might do the SS lines.

 

whoo hoo!! A new high & well on the way to the 117 forecast.

 

Chilly.

 

Temps are finally coming back down to reality here, will be in the mid 80's all week which is awesome.

 

Supposed to be 119 today.

Kmn.

 

Ordered the transmission cooler & thermostat, picking up 16 feet of oil cooler hose at Autozone today (ordered online for store pickup)

 

You demand purchase updates, get a slew & radio silence????

Jesus Christ!

 

What's wrong with the existing cooler?

 

No external cooler.


This is what it will be like, the Tundra came with it stock.

 

Scam thread on another site had a response to buy the scammer candy.

Seems UAE has a cheap pipeline to Toyota parts. the thermostat is 30 bux less shipped and the cooler is 75.

Interesting tracking info:

 

Went into the garage to tape up a package and found this.

 

Fun!

Shed number 9

 

What's in the other 8???


lol


Soooooo we have a new CIO who is changing EVERYTHING. He & my boss are coming a week from Monday to tell us all our fates.

wheeeee

 

I need hose & clamps as the last pieces of my transmission cooler install. Need potentially 8 feet for each direction so ordered 16 feet.

Ordered store pickup got the ready for pickup email and went Monday, they had 8 feet. They said go to another store about a mile away, I said no thanks and canceled. Went home & reordered from that store a mile further away. Got the ready for pickup email, went they had none & offered me fuel injector hose (WTF)??? I said no.

Went home & ordered for delivery. Wonder what that will accomplish, it's theoretically out for delivery now.

I was out of town!
but I'm grateful for the updates and weather warnings as well.

 

Holy shit!

 

Why was I not provided an itinerary????

:P

 

LOL...I was too worried about you being impatient about my return.

 

I hope you had a great time!
