What have you done to your ride lately?

Those were 2 extra plastic ones. They included them incase you didn't already have them from their front skid.

Got an proper alignment on my '01 4Runner this morning at Tandem in Arlington. Also picked up some TredPro mats on a first time customer deal. Sammich Maker is giving me the eye now.

Tommy want wingy..
Finally had to replace my 5 1/2 year old Die Hard Platinum on Monday at lunch. I went with a Napa Legend 75 Type 27. Not a bad deal at $138 out the door. New windshield is going in tomorrow morning.
Probably do my first transmission flush next week. The original fluid has 211k on it LOL.

I still have a set of Dakar’s to install as well.

May end up keeping the Tacoma a little longer than expected due to life and other issues.

Glad the trail rig is ready to wheel. No wrenching required on it at least.

You just reminded me. I still have another brand new AGM in the back footwell of our beater Honda. My Spare batt was a Platinum and had a month or two left. They gave me a new 'top of the line,' plus a $60 gift card but no warranty. :)

That's Mr Asshole to you
More parts showed up today. Rear springs. Let's if the 4th time is the charm.

First time out and the skids are already earning their keep.

There was definitely more value in it than what I got for it but I was more worried about getting it out if the way. The tailgate was clean and I saved it for @tx_shooter and @fsbrain03 got the front seats for his 4 seater conversion but the rest of it was pretty beat up and it only had half a frame under it. All the $$ parts were stripped off and are in the shop. Trussed front axle with 5.29s and Detroit with Marlin high steer, rear TG axle with 5.29s and Detroit, both pair of TG leaf springs, motor, trans, t-case with 4.7s, and steering box were all saved. They'll live again someday under something that doesn't have a patched together frame... Maybe.

I'll give you $1000 for it all and will move it out of the way for you.

Yeah; he hauled it off today. I called him to save the rear bumper as he was finishing loading it up.
