What have you done to your 3rd Gen 4Runner today?

The quest to dig to the head gasket ensues.

 

Same! High tide at 10, hope to find some eaters.

 

If I can get up before then. I’m a 12 hour sleeper. Got two guys comin and I ain’t buying the bait!!

 

Gonna see some million dollar boats Rollin by I ancor right in the channel.

 

Back home at dark!!!

 

Well played!

 

Trailering and putting my boat in at my local state park tomorrow. Then anchoring at my 70 foot deep spot for the night. It’s going to be 90 degrees here so don’t think night temps will be too cold for me. Hoping the front/rain comes through early, high tide is at 7:30 pm and should flow out most of the night. Supposed to be able to see the Northern Lights here, wouldn’t that be kewl never witnessed it....

 

Bon voyage my fellow sailors!!!

 

Well, I got my last crank out of my battery. I had to jump it. Went into town, ugh, humans. And opted for an AGM. I think I picked up a couple ponys. BeforeAfter

 

Man just went out the reset the clock. It fired right up I haven’t heard the starter spin that fast in 20 years!!!!

 

But I didn’t have to reset any of my pre-set radio stations. Weird, guess there’s an internal memory batt. Maybe a capacitor?

 

That was a nice case of corrosion there!

 

Ya I just neutralized it with baking soda. I’ll get another 15 years out of it...

 

I picked up massive horsepower with this AGM battery. Cruising with traffic at 75-80mph with the rpms barley hitting 2800rpms..Lights seem brighter too.....

 

Today? Well, yesterday, my son fish-tailed the 4runner into a parked car. Hmmmm. Will be posting in marketplace for list of goodies to rebuild.

At least he's 100% A-OK, if not mentally bummed cuz the truck is hurt.

Many happy (and SAFE!) miles.

I cleaned up mine to recently too. But your tales of new-found starter joy intrigue me!!! Hmmmm.

 

Holy crap. Tasty?

 

I could see the lights being brighter but how does a new battery give you more horsepower?

 

No that’s a citation was released unharmed. Not supposed to eat them if over twenty inches. PCBs, Mercury, the waterways are contaminated here.. There are warnings for the whole east coast too. I just finished a 1/2 bushel of crabs. The benefit outways the risk.....

 

Greater spark cleaner burn. Grounded better? Install an AGM and you will see...I got over 7 years out of my previous battery, prob was goin bad for awhile and I think it was undersized for my SUV..

 

I don’t drink tap water and sure as hell don’t drink the well water around here.....

 

I’m jealous of your clean battery terminals, so I have a new positive mount coming. Best ten bucks I will ever spend.

 

Went hunting and saw all kinds of game. It was 80 degrees and beautiful!!! Cold front is just getting here now....

 

Saturday

 

18 inches? NICE!! 21 is citation here!!

 

never measured it actually, but 18 sounds about right.

 

I just lost my internet for an hour. I was in a panic. New cables are going under ground here. Luckily I had Chris Brackett on my DVR. I’m leaving for the evening hunt in twenty minutes. Gonna leave all the deer alone except for one eight point+!!!

 

Went squirrel huntin and “Limited” out!! SUV is running amazingly.....

 

Who wants to go hunting? Took a quick vid of the front half of the property. There’s a third small horse gate I had to park https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=r3YNKdyy_MY

 

Saw 4 squirrels. Heard turkeys. The little lady that lives here is single?
When I came out of the woods the horse was eating the cat’s food on the porch..lol
