Filled up with gas at $1.45/gal. Then loaded up some refrigerator boxes from work to donate to the school I used to work at for some projects.

And took out my ear buds so @Dubbinchris doesn't have a meltdown about driving with them in.
And this is what a Texan looks like.

Not quite. No visible gun rack. No Redman stain on a wife beater. No Lone Star beer bottles rolling around the floor boards.

Cruisin’
Recieved the wrong tire for my matching spare 
They offered to take it back but I had already wasted half the day at getting it mounted. I got it for cost and mounted free but kinda killed the 5 tire rotation plan. I mean it will fit fine but will drive me nuts seeing a different tread on one wheel.

I got my monstaliner samples in, so I thought I'd take a pic for comparison. ML outbreak on the left, midnight special on the right against the factory 8ko night shadow pearl. Not sure I like either one, but I'm leaning towards midnight special. I really like the factory paint, but I could monstaline a few vehicles for what it would cost to fix the hood and roof, not to mention all the other scratches. It's pretty tough to match a metallic base/clear combo with one color

No. And no.

It's going to be blue, one way or another. It's really hard to tell from the samples what the finished product would look like. I've seen some trucks done in the darker one and they look fairly decent.

In my opinion if you go Monstaliner you have to go the whole truck or do a complimentary color if you are doing just the bottom. When you try to get it exact it looks like crap.
I know guys have tinted to match though. It doesn't match but they can say it was tinted to "Toyota 045" or whatever their color code is.

I'm definitely doing the whole truck. I didn't want to do the door jambs, but I'm going to have to more than likely.

IF I ever decide to Monstaliner an 80 (I was very close to ordering it but didn't) I will Monstaliner the whole thing including the rockers but then rattle can the jambs a color that is close. In a flat or semi gloss. Easy to touch up.
But having sprayed the bottom half of my truck with Rustoleum rattle can in flat black I found it really easy to touch up when scratched. Not sure I will Monstaliner my 80 now.

Good idea, its probably way easier to match the flat monstaliner color than to get the monstaliner to match the factory color, especially in my case.

New Cables for the 80
I got my first "Hey, is that your Land Cruiser? Are you interested in selling it?" this afternoon. Also, my mpg so far after the head gasket and fuel injectors rebuild, and the switch to 90 octane, non-ethanol, gas has been 13.55 (mostly around town) and then 14.65 (about 1/2 highway miles).

Lately I've been having wicked ideas of monstalining DILLIGAF (new name for the rig.. anyone know what it means?) in Gulf Livery.
Thoughts?
Thoughts?
Hmm, I don't know. Does your Cruiser look like it gives a care?
Pretty clever name and very fitting.
I would have gone with DILLIC.
I just sprayed John Deer Blitz Black right over the Al's liner, I don't see why you couldn't get the tint close and just spray over the top the color you want. almost 5 years now and everything still looks like it did on liner day 1

TEXAS LEXUS!
If you insist on 1 of those colors, I say the 1 on the left.I got my monstaliner samples in, so I thought I'd take a pic for comparison.

Do I look like I give a f&@*?

I left my lights on when I went to work this morning. Walked out to go to an appointment and she was pretty close to completely dead. Tried cranking it and she didn't make it. Had to jump her. I've been meaning to get one of these but haven't. Anyone have any recommendations for one other than this?

Does yours turn the headlamps off when you open the door with the ignition off like the later models?
