Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I realized on my way to work that I'm less than a thousand miles away from my second oil change on the Tacoma. I need to get stuff together and see if I can get the shop time so I can swap the filter cannister and put in my fumoto valve.

 

just fuckin with ya

 

Ordered!

 

You going to do that at your work's shop?

 

If they have a bay I can use. It'll depend on timing. Worst case, I'll ask a friend if I can use his garage. If that falls through, I can do it at home. I just have to have it all lined out. I'll still take it to the stealership for everything else that the 10K requires, but only for warranty purposes.

 

Still sipping on the Monster from earlier. I've had twice as much water as I have energy drink in the last 6 hours. Keeps the kidney stones at bay.

 

that shit right there is why you don't sleep right

 

No coffee either???

 

I don't consume them except on nights, usually. I don't have them on days off 90% of the time. I don't sleep because I can't quiet my brain a lot of the time.

 

How's your night going, @Tripleconpanna ?

 

Good sir.... watching some TV w/the wife while planning some family activities for when her brother and her niece are in town next week

 

Well that's sounds like a solid way to spend the evening. Anything good on TV?

 

We're binge watching some old episodes of MASH

 

Nice! Excellent show.

 

I take it work is being kind to you tonight???

 

Eh, kinda. There've been some problems, but it's been manageable.

 

Well I hope your night stays manageable, and if it doesn't that you're able to kick its ass

 

Hoping for the same. Either way, I'm past the halfway point so it's all downhill from here.

How are you liking the sliders on the truck so far? Do you use them as steps?

 

Nothing off road yet; just kicked some dirt on 'em...

Most of the time, yes, I'll step on them as I'm getting in. But it's nice that they are tucked in the way they are because if I just want to pop into the truck I'm not banging my leg on then or scraping my calf on the way out.

I have used the rear kickout a couple of time to reach into the bed; that's a really nice feature, but they could've gone a little further back w/it.

Most importantly... they look better

 

Glad to hear it. I was worried you wouldn't like them as much as I did and feel like you were steered wrong. They make clearing the windshield easier for short people too!

 

Now I've got to decide if I'm throwing the trans skid and cat guards on now or wait till after my last toyota care inspection/service is done since I'd have to pull them before taking it in....

 

They can pop them off if they need to. I'd put the cat plate on at the very least.

 

I'd say this is true of pretty much all religions.

 

Yup. That's why I try to look at the teachings rather than what the members do/say.

 

Not at all.. I'm very happy w/them, and I'm appreciative of the insight and feedback that you and others gave along my decision making process.

I know most things in life are very subjective. I was hoping for some more information from folks that had experience w/the products I was interested in, and I received some really good feedback from you and a few others on here. A good example of that is the powder coating; you (and a few other folks) said to do bare metal for a variety of reasons. I appreciated the heads up and insight to the basis for those opinions; but in the end I thought having the MFR do it made more sense, was less time consuming, and it ultimately ended up being the right choice for me. However, the choice to go w/RCI or to have the sliders powder coated, etc. were decisions that I made and that I am responsible for

Well, it's time for me to wind down and get ready for bed. You guys have a great night and sleep good when you get a chance
