Got the Slee bumper on last night. Easy peezy. I was able to do it myself in about an hour.

Ugh the Slee bumper has really grown on me, I want one. Looks great man!
 
Some of these shleps are landing in Colorado. My wife and I are headed to Wyoming when we retire, fast! Why did they ban the 1911?


Apparently Colt changed the way they manufacture the 1911. CNC vs cast, or something.
In CA that makes a new gun which is not allowed for sale here without meeting some struck regulation (which no gun manufacturer is willing to make).
There are no Glocks 4 gen here. So when the 3 gen is out, bye bye Glock.
 
No pics, but had to winch my wife's RDX up our driveway again (I was driving). The subaru made it up after no problem again.

It's because Californiacs elect Fascist dictator types to public office. No other reason.
 
I built a rear storage system with the help of my neighbor.

;)
I towed the four wheelers up in the woods. With a 3FE! Held 50mph up the grade, and 60mph through rolling hills no problem. I wouldn't want to tow them through the rockies on the freeway, but on secondary roads for short trips it tows fine.

Yeah, at 10,000 feet on I-70 is where the power of that big six really shines;)
 
So, today I picked up Marjan from the German Toyota mechanic.

I forgot to get a picture, but this Toyota Dealership is out in the middle of nowhere, right smack dab in the place where the Naab River meets the Danube NW of Regensburg. Just across the road there is a cave with prehistoric cave paintings for something to do while you wait for your car to get done:

The mechanic was extremely skilled and knowledgeable; he showed me how all my interior wiring was basically shot, and how he had to redo the wiring loom. Cost me EUR 450, which is about $500.

Turns out the issue affected nearly everything. My windows now go up and down much faster, my PWR button light works, my stereo doesn't cut out, and yes, my rear wiper works normally, again. Am happy to be back on the road, but wished I would've stuck with it and fixed the problem on my own...

Pretty cool cave art. Look around you might find "Wilson" the volley ball in there. lol
 
Built this welding table to further assist me in totally breaking myself in an effort to have a sweet cruiser. :cool:

I let my OCD take over and peeled off most of the PO's remaining exterior bedliner, I'm now ready to do a proper Monstalining soon...

I also did a re-seal of the windshield gasket. Not a horrible leak, but annoying having water dripping on my foot while driving in a rainstorm.
 
Rattle canned my hood with clear coat where it was faded as s***. Wet sanded and polishing compound. Looks a thousand times better. Just don't get closer than 10 feet! That can hold me off until I paint the whole thing; or maybe forever

Sand, apparently, is a piss-poor sealant.

:doh:

My "White Rhino" has double water leaks way in the rear. I pulled the air vent louvers and applied RTV in the body hole where the louver snaps in like I read that others have done but no dice. I have not seen a thread where someone did a complete rebuilt of the slider Windows and vent so I shall. Stay tuned.
 
Noticed a small bit of rust on the third row seatbelt bolt and bracket where it attaches to the floor. Was nervous it was all rusted out underneath the carpet, so tore into that area. Was pleasantly surprised to find only the tiniest bit of surface rust in one small area near the DS wheel well. Cleaned it up and had it primed and painted. Very surprised how little rust there is on this 21 year old beauty!

Was also very suprised how quick and easy it was to take the carpet, trim and seats out. They'll get a good cleaning and then go back in.
 
Replaced my power steering gear box. Maybe now I won't be a small version of the Exxon Valdez.
