Yesterday’s Maintenance.
The sand blades are working out great, double sided cutting edges. After 20 to 25hrs, flip blades and get another 20 to 25hrs. The old blades just need some grinding on the edges, I can probably get another 15hrs on each side, but new get slapped on cause it was too hot to mess the old ones.
Engine Filter
Changed both hydrogear filters and oil change.
This is the driest part of the year, and I cut all the grass down because chance of rain is slim for the next couple weeks and best to have less fuel on the ground in case of a wildfire in the area.

Toyota is just that shitty everyone is moving to something worth owning
4Runner is all I would get or might be able to afford anytime soon. No more North American dumbed down Toyota's for me. Made in Japan international model or bust....literally

If the family would fit comfortably, I'd be back in a 4Runner in a heartbeat.
If the Sequoia and Land Cruiser weren't so expensive, I'd be in one of those right now instead of the Expedition. In fact, I tried to get into a Sequoia for months! In the end, the up front cost and the cost to operate (i.e. gas mileage) took it out of the running. Heck, there are at least 3 brand new 2018 model Sequoias on the lots in my area and they aren't willing to discount the price AT ALL. Talk about a local D-tard. Seriously, they are giving zero incentive to get rid of the 18s....and the 2020 models will start hitting the lot in the next few months.

I'm just hoping that the twin turbo v6 that they are talking about for the Tundra makes it's way into the Sequoia and Land Cruiser as well. I don't see why it wouldn't (unless they drop the Sequoia from the lineup).
I heard Toyota was going to announce a new SUV in the next few months to be built in the Alabama plant that they originally planned to build the corolla. I feel like Toyota has a pretty saturated SUV lineup, so the thing that makes most sense to me is to drop the Sequoia and replace with something equally large but better fuel econ.
They won't get rid of the Land Cruiser or 4Runner anytime soon as those are pretty iconic. Sequoia....not so much. Then there is all the smaller crap from RAV4 to Highlander that I don't see going anywhere anytime soon.

Tommy want wingy..
Washed the Goat and changed the the oil in the front and rear diffs. Re-installed my toolbox as well since I took it off to get my cabover camper back from Austin.
One of the last articles I read on the new Tundra quoted Toyota as saying the big vehicles will start having more and more common drive trains. They did not say if that was internal to Toyota only or across the board with Toyota sharing parts/motors with Lexus. The new setup going to the Tundra is supposed to be from Lexus.

Built a transmission skid. Currently out back painting it
Looks stout. What thickness steel did you use? Any ribbing on the topside of it to prevent upward bowing?
