Welcome to Iowa lol. We got over 3" of rain today and had a storm go thru in the nite that had 60 mph gusts of wind.

 

That came trough here as well. Not it's all snow. I just looked outside a minute ago and the grass is covered. And it's only been snowing an hour. This stuffs heading your way.

 

I know I will be complaining when its 100 outside but Im ready for no more snow!!

The drive to work this morning.

 

Atleast you have a bada$$ 4runner to handle the elements!!

 

Man we need some snow out west. Tahoe is looking bad again this year.
I imagine your runner does great In the snow.

 

We aren't getting snow but have the cold temps and a few flurries. Even when it is hot you can get something done in the early morning, the cold there just isn't any break from it. We did get some hail and wont be long until tornado season. Seems like it is always something going on.

 

We had flurries here too but no accumulation. Looks like a nice day outside today but I'm sure it's still colder. Sposed to be a high of 40 I think. Oh well, that's still better than 20.

 

I would imagine its pretty dry out there now. My parents live in Moab, Utah and they always need it there.

It does really well in the snow. Especially now with the BFG's


We lucked out with the hail. It went just north of us apparently. I am not looking forward to the tornado season. Seems like every time it rains, we are pulling the vehicles in for cover because of hail. Or waking up in the middle of the night from the tornado warning phone calls.


It really warmed up here yesterday and melted all the snow pretty much. And its beautiful out already today.

 

Pooch is enjoying the nice weather we are having.

 

Gizler, Personally I've hated snow since I was a kid. back when i was a kid my parents would dress me in wool clothing. Man you talk about itching. Besides that I hate the cold, anything below 70 is cold to me. When we get temps here in South Florida in the 60's I'm freezing and hate to leave the house.

Pooch is looking slick behind the truck. My son want a dog, so I can't show him this pic... Haha He want's a german shepard.

 

Haha. Wool is very itchy.

I don't mind the cold weather. I actually kind of like it sometimes. Being able to sit outside with a fire and hang out with the family. It's the ongoing slop slush snow that hangs around and the 83 one day and 25 the next.

I would love to get another dog. That's our American bulldog he is going to be seven this year. I love shepherds my buddy is the k9 officer for the department that my wife works for he has got a beautiful shepherd.

 

Well I made it out to the two u-pull it yards here in Omaha yesterday morning. Sadly there weren't any 1st gen 4 runners or 2nd gen pickups. Only a few 3rd gen pickups that were either picked over of destroyed by idiots pulling parts.

I managed to get the egr temp sensor piece and a tps for one of my students (91ncarman).


Nothing frustrates me more than when people deliberately destroy perfectly good parts just to get at what they need. Check this pic out.



Totally ridiculous!! They literally ripped the dash out and broke it all to pieces. Ripped the radio trim out and broke it in half!! I can't tell what they were getting at. But really hate to see this.

I always take my time And remove other components that are in the way so I can access the parts I need. I even go as far as to put back what I removed. Just invade someone might need it.

 

It is frustrating when they do stupid things like that. When I can, I disassemble one when I can just to keep it from being destroyed and to keep in practice on disassembling mine. If I owned a yard jack butts like that would never get let back in.

 

I wish I could catch someone doing that to one while I was there. I have been looking for a good 3rd gen radio trim for one of my students for a few months now and every single one is trashed because they wanted the radio, or a wire behind it. So they just ripped it all to pieces.

 

Found a little rust this morning. Well I guess I should say that I caused it. Saw some surface rust and decided to hit it to see if it would rust through. I ended up opening a 6" piece.


And I also made a template to put in out of some scrap I had laying around. Got it tacked in before work was out today. Seam sealed it, and going to out some filler Over it tomorrow. Then bedliner it.

 

Picked up a few supplies this morning. I sanded down the rocker after I stitched in the replacement piece. Then applied some of the filler and letting it setup.

I think I am going to POR15 the entire rocker

 

have you tried anything besides por15? some friends swear by this. ive never heard of it.

Yes I have tried a lot of other things. The only reason why I thought por15 is that at Auto Value right now they stock it, so I can actually buy it on my school account. The raptor liner is what I used to spray on my lower half of the doors, and in the bed of the runner when I get the rust repair.

The raptor liner is really great stuff. There also is another good stuff made by Eastwood industries which is just like that POR 15

 

The evercoat body filler is really good stuff. And very easy to work with.

 

Dude how do you get so much done??!! Like a machine!!
