$50 and 6 weeks later, I received my dual voltage monitor from SolidKit Australia. Will be nice to keep track of volts while camping instead of breaking out my voltmeter all the time.
The Mail Order Ride is getting older.
Oh it’s quite good, you should try it if you are near......subliminal advertising for T Kee.

If you and everyone else would stop selling badass parts I’d sell you mine, it’s literally the exact vehicle you’re looking for. But the time and money I’ve got into it now I don’t think it would be profitable for me or logical for you to buy it, unless you want a heavily modified rig
Camped one night at oceano dunes/pismo beach. Got there at dusk which also happen to be high tide and boy what a mess that was. Trying to setup camp before dark so I didn’t air down and got stuck in silty sand tying to avoid piles of stuck cars. Aired down and put it 4 low and popped right now. Trusty old girl never fails me!
Then I notice a minivan axle deep and the tide is fast approaching with all the brodozer flying pass them. So I got out my tow strap and try to help them, turned out to be a rental doge minivan with NO tow hook or anything!!! At this point the water is splashing the van the woman driving it was panicking. Finally wrapped around the rear axle and pulled them to firmer sand. DO NOT buy a doge minivan!
Then right next to it was a stuck doge charger with 22s, guess what? No tow points what so ever also! I told the owner whos Is pretty cool to wrap the strap around the front control arm and pull him to firmer sand. Moral of the story? Don’t buy doge anything!!! Doge is so cheap they won’t even put a tow point on neither front or the rear of their cars.
Pull out two other trucks but that was less painful. Finally got my camp area in the dark and setup up “RTT” and went to sleep, over al all it worked really well I must say. Not for two people but for just me it was awesome!!! Sorry, it was all dark so no pictures.

Questioning my life choices...
My boy hasa Dodge Dakota 2004 and after wrenching on the 80 for 6x years, all the work on his truck felt like I was fixing his old plastic kiddie riding toys. Everything is unsubstantial and cheap. His whole bench sear weighs less than 1x of my buckets. Not impressed with Dodge Trucks based on that one.
I know where there is a white 96 in Fontana, sitting for about 4 months now. AND it has a Snorkel! And a mismatched hood! And Valance! And no headliner.. perfect for driving an ocd person nuts!wrong year
And lits of Wits End goodies in it too...

So fun pulling people out at the beach! Last time I pulled one out, was a Superduty with a travel trailer, buried to the frame. Good times!
PSA... air down, people
Every season I end up pulling fools out of the sand, never took anything for it, except this year I'm going to ask them if I can have a pic on them in front of their buried rig first. Should be fun, stay tuned.So fun pulling people out at the beach! Last time I pulled one out, was a Superduty with a travel trailer, buried to the frame. Good times!

I got to try this bad boy out this weekend!
In the middle of doing Front Axle/Knuckle rebuild.......so far it's not been horrible but don't want to do it again anytime soon!
Are you sure they don't have tow points? How would they transport them on car carriers then?
Swapped out the weak stock horns in my LX450.
I was at my local Pick-Your-Part and remembered to look for an older Lexus sedan and I found a 97 LS400(Same year as my LX450). I figured that a flagship sedan like the LS400 would have some nice sounding horns and by the looks of them, I grabbed them.
They were a direct fit on the LX450(same connector) and boy, do they sound like they belong on a vehicle of this size.
I don't know what Toyota/Lexus was thinking to put some horns on these vehicles that would be more at home on a Toyota Tercel of the same year.
One banana job.
