All I want for Christmas is ...

Merry Christmas. It's still Christmas on the west coast.

I got a couple of good adventure books and some pajamas. Just what I wanted.

Funny, I got the wife some cute warm pajamas too. And a sports mug.

Daughter, son-in-law and their 2 kids are in town for the holidays. My grand daughter must have called for her "Papa" (me) 20 times. Life is good. Blue skies.
:artist:
 
Got a ARB deflator. I have only been offroad a handful of times and I have always had the tires at street pressure. Looking forward to testing the KO2s at 20psi.

Had my buddy [MENTION=127597]mattcampos[/MENTION] air down to 0 psi the first time he used it hahah. Keep an eye on the pressure! It works pretty fast!
 
Installed the steering wheel today, was bored. Loving the marbled look, was afraid that the leather was too dark but it's actually about the same shade as the steering pad (the difference in reflection from plastic to leather doesn't lend well in pictures; but in person it's a hardly noticeable difference)

Got the wife's 5th gen Limited a much needed TRD stainless exhaust tip. I'm still sketchy on an exhaust system for it. This is the first V6 vehicle owned. All others have been V8's and love the deep rumble from them with Borla or Magnaflow. Just not so sure if I will like the exhaust note of a v6. It would have to be a low subtle exhaust note without the horrible rasp.
 
Only have a pics of a few parts of it, but the wheels were a Christmas present to myself. FN f(x) pro in matte black with the alloy TRD center caps. Had them put on at Discount tire on Christmas Eve morning. I have the spidertraxx on still and will probably keep them on until I get bigger tires. These things make the stance soo badass. I've been getting stares and compliments constantly. I'm gonna have to do a little front fender well adjusting as they rub in reverse.

As far as actual presents go, I finally have an owners manual! I also got a stubby antenna (pics to come soon), TRD valve stem caps, TRD badges, and the materials to make my own raptor grill :naughty: Can't wait to get all of this on!

Got a full set of Bilstein 5100s, Smittybilt beaver step and a Husqvarna forest axe. Planned on running the 5100s with stock springs, but now I'm debating using OME 883 coils, instead. The boss will kill me, probably with my new axe.
 
Great party, isn't it?

Truck just hit the ground in Portland. Super excited...

Hey I was looking at buying this too, let us know how well it works if it's worth it etc please

Will do. I've already run into "issues", but nothing insurmountable. The cables are too short to reach the battery on the route I want to take, and the inline fuse is close to the compressor and too far from the battery. I have to move the fuse and extend the lines, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the wire gauge as it's labeled AVS-5.0, which I think is 10 awg, but I'm not positive.
 
I also got a neat addition to my camping kit! MyJo uses K-Cups without the need for a Keurig machine. Heat up water (Jetboil or even microwave in the container), insert K-Cup, place over a mug and press down. It uses air pressure to force the water through just like the full size machine. Easy camp coffee- no mess. SWEET!
Did that MyJo make as good of cup of coffee as t he Keurig? I've been considering the latter for the office, by the MyJo may be a viable (and much cheaper) alternative.
LOL I apparently chose to follow the path of those that brewed before thee... :suspicious: :biggrin1:
I am so impressed with this you have no idea.
you guys should check out the Aeropress too.
