Went up into the mountains looking at some property that's for sale (dreaming) and the road ended up being rather muddy.w had a good time. Now if I only had $890k for the land....

Just hit 200,000 miles in the '04.

I broke 200,000 miles in the '98! My wife's '04 isn't far behind. Technically it was Monday, but I keep getting distracted and forgetting to post.

Correct. My brother is stationed there.

In Colorado Springs for a course that ended early today. Drove to Garden of the Gods and saw an inviting dirt road. It went up and over the mountain with some beautiful views. I was told by a bicyclist at the top there was a dirt road that went up Pikes Peak but by the time I made it there the...

Finished my ham radio install by mounting the detached face to the dash. I also added a speaker under the headrest so I can hear whats going on easier. Ran the wire through the fabric to under the seat where the radio is mounted.

Thanks for the recommendations. The previous owner only had a fuse, no relay. I ended up ripping his stuff out and replacing wiring. It now works great without any issues. Sorry about the delay in the update, I was waiting to finish bed lining the grill guard and bumper before putting the light...

I was selling my 2012 FJ Cruiser to get out of debt. I started looking at 4Runners as an acceptable replacement, especially since they can be found for an affordable price. I found this amazing Land Cruiser for sell 5 hrs away. I found several backup 4Runners just in case. He unfortunately was...

Spray painted the grill guard with truck bed liner over the past week. I'll be doing the bumpers next, but doing it with a roller instead of spray.
