Well, at least you’re not here. Photo op from the “way back machine”.

Monstaliner repair kit ordered this morning, solid customer service, they said it would ship today.

My daughter also got a job as a ski instructor for little kids (aka ski slope babysitter) down at the local hill. Saturdays and Sundays all season, guess who's going to ski a boatload this year!


Another reason I'm trying to get the 40 weatherproofed before winter gets (got) here.

Snowbowl or Marshal? I may have been a lifty at Marshall in a past life in a galaxy far far away…

It's the little things that piss me off.


I bought the oil pan drain plug thinking it came with the gasket included, I guess after one number gets superseded by another number parts get deleted as well.

Oh well, I probably didn't pay attention to the details when I was ordering it.

At least I got some new wiper blades for the season. It amazes me that parts like these are still readily available for a reasonable price.

Send you one in the Post if I can find it. I bought spares. They are in one of three storage blds. Should be easy to find……….

I just ordered a bunch, I keep them in my glove box so I can get one out tomorrow for ya. It's engine oil drain and not differential/trans right? Just pm me your addy.

Yup, oil pan drain.

I guess next time I make an online order I should add 5 or 6 to the mix.

I saw the part number listed when I was searching for the plug, but thought to myself "Dude, this is 2023, Toyota doesn't hardly sell bolts without washers pressed on, surely the drain plug has a seal."

I'll be damned.

Sage advice…

I thought I was getting low in my stash so I of course over ordered more. I keep all my drain/fill plug gaskets/o-rings on a round binder clip or twist tie in the glove of all my vehicles-that way I always know were they are. Truth be told I need to inventory my stuff as I keep buying duplicates of stuff.

The (small town) dealer closest to me gives me a handful of those for free if I ever ask for some. They're good to have on hand.

I'm not 100% sure that my local Toyota dealer even knows that a 40 is a Toyota!

If anyone gets in a tight spot- The local parts stores stock a dorman replacement plug for the newer pans.

Also don’t forget the shop vac trick if you find out the plug gasket isn’t sealing.

Enlighten me on the shop vac..

The parts guys in this little dealership do, mostly because of me.

Now comes ski season. Still running to ground a mini vaca to a small slope. Mid Jan through Mar may be my window of opportunity..
