What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Not worth the aggravation and the chips were out of sight, once they were installed. Had they been on a visible area, I might have raised a stink about it.

 

@dgrenier15 you're a genius

 

It helps, I did the same. At least if it does come out with the cup you know because you really have to yank on it and you hear the velcro separating.

 

UPS Driver Explains Why They're Striking Despite Being Paid $42/Hour— 'That's What Solidarity Is' (yahoo.com)

 

Velcro is wonderful stuff, good for all sorts of things if you think of it. I always keep a big roll on hand. And only get the original brand, I got some Chinese crap once and the glue was crap. Apart from the obvious, use a little piece of the fuzzy side to fix random rattles and squeaks.

 

Spent the whole day only doing an oil change, front, rear, transfer oil changes, lube zerks. Did not know I could accomplish so little in such a great amount of time. Gotta go faster next time.

 

Haha not sure about that. But reality is I was tired of seeing the cup holders in the center console. Obviously my wife thought that was the best spot...

 

But did you enjoy it. I usually take my sweet time. Yes I feel slow, and maybe kinda guilty, but not at the same time.
Either way, probably would take you near the same time to take it somewhere and wait till they’re done, and go home. Then realize they never installed your skid plates, and have to go back. Lol

 

Add overtime and these guys are knocking down $120K-$150K a yr...

Buddy of mine with UPS 27 yrs pulling in almost $150K

 

Added a TRD pro grill with raptor lights. Before and After. Next is painting the chrome valence to match the rest of the grill

 

Well I was hoping to spend more time around my kids, that's mostly why. Ha, managed to work around my skid plates and not remove any of them. Managed to spill oil in 3 of 4 possible drainings. Couldn't even change motor oil normally yesterday lol. Kind of defeats the purpose of DIY maintenance but I want a lift in the future so badly!

 

Ridiculous!!!!!! More than my dad made as a truck-driver for Carnation Milk after 30 years. More than I made with an MS and 20 yrs. of Federal Service!

I guarantee few UPS drivers have an MS! Or even a college degree! And don't tell me it's the physical strain: I blew out my knee, compression fractures of my spine, etc. in Federal Service!

 

Picked up from a local member this AM. Father son project right after

 

Last step b4 inner fender paint; sliced EZ Flares to match bumper lines

 

Got these on Etsy. They're 3D printed from PETG, a hard plastic material and will not come out of the console when reaching for your drink.

Those look suspiciously like BOOT PRINTS!!

 

@BearBio hahaha right!? I was wondering bout that. Either my kids somehow, or my boots when I do this:

 

I completed the woodworking part of my sleeping platform. Now I have to do the carpeting steps.

 

tire checkup [never had a leak on these load E]

one lag bolt, head broken off
one nail
couple rocks
angry face tire

 

Detailed it in 100 degree weather

 

Today was the day I realized my 285/70 k02s actually ARE the tall skinny tires I’ve always wanted!

 

Sunsets at the lake

 

I switched out the damn chrome lug nuts with black ones and added a toyota tri-color grill emblem. I feel so complete now!

 

Everybody that comes in my new 2023 4Runner for the first time comments about my new “shifter”. Looks great!

 

Same. When I bought my bed tie downs for my taco, it was like they just threw the hardware in the box - haven’t had to buy from them since

 

Time for a name change. Cali Razed.

 

Good move!! It's those small details that I notice!

 

Bruh. Great choice of words.
