    I didnt lose much, and put the ‘front’ on first to sort of let the hose fill before attaching to the axle lines. I didnt want to have to drag air through the rear wheel cylinders. Did it, might have gotten some air out. It’ll all get rebled anyway...

    Nice. I tried to get the wife into 1 of the Lexus 4x4 trucks but she decided to go with the Honda Passport, it has all the gadgets that she likes and it's a Honda

    New muffler showed up today. Luis was right about how small this thing is.

    I just watched this kid cut my old muffler off without wearing eye pro. :rofl:

    I'm not sure what's unique about this Spintech but he said he's never seen anything like it. I'm scared.

    Had a few minutes today to tool around and Fished/Tucked the Charging Cables for my devices. Looks cleaner but not perfect. Better than wires loose everywhere, though. Lower Cables run between the lower dash and Shroud and Carpet.

    Stoked on the Fast Charge Cable for the LG Monitor. The old original cable given to me was shlow!

    Honda makes a nice car. I think what made it possible to sell my wife on the gx was the fact that she would need to take my truck up to her families cabin and after doing that once I think she isn't excited to do it again. I also mentioned that we are planning on moving in the next 5 years and we might not be living on a paved road. There's also the fact that we might need to tow something and if my truck goes down or we sell it or whatever it would be nice to have a backup.

    All valid points. I tried them all and she was kinda leaning towards the 06 4runner v8 but when we started doing the math buying the Honda Passport made sense. It's a crossover so it's easier to drive, sips on regular grade fuel and it's massive inside.

    I still would have preferred another toyota v8 in the house to be honest though.

    I was thinking a newer 4runner for the third row and we would have gotten similar miles with similar mpg and all without a v8 or most the nice stuff that comes on the gx460 premium. It's crazy how skewed the market is sometimes.
    Trying to get my work to sell me one of the teardrop prototypes. That's the only way I can afford one! And beyond that probably just a four-wheeler and stuff when we move/ building supplies.

    Well my truck sounds amazing. It's not so loud that it's annoying but has a nice deep tone. I should have done this years ago.

    Not sure why it's posting as a link and not directly.

    Haven't had a chance to hit the hwy yet but it seems once I hit cruising rpm it got really quiet. No drone on the way home. I specifically asked @Darkness about this before ordering. @jImmegart has it also. I'll report back once I get more miles.

    Awesome. Sounds good to me. I need to post some exhaust/ intake clips. The intake mod I did makes it sound meaner than it is. The 4.7 is a good sounding engine anyway.

    Put on a curt front hitch receiver in place of the XSP decorative “skid” (now on ebay)...was a PITA and the real skid plate won’t win any beauty contests now after hacking it up but it’s solid and will hold a rack full of coolers and surf rods yippeee :cheers:

    You live in tear drop country. Is there anything special about this one? Diy is a good option.

    Besides being one of our first trailers and having many parts designed and built by me, they are just a nice trailer. I'm partial, but they are very nice.

    I think I need to adjust my ditch lights so they'll be more forward.

    No ditch lights.

    Adjust them upwards to the Universe. Flash some thoughts and light beams to the SS Enterprise. Maybe send an SOS that might be captured in Star Date 2463.

    I'm pretty happy with mine right now. The outer two are pointed 45 degrees-ish.
