Got 37s
 
i found the external beep box on my 3rd gen today and unplugged the unnecessary key/door beep function when you leave the truck with the keys while running.
So much better when loading/unloading the truck while running, 8 beeps everytime you shut the doors is a bit much toyota.....
 
I’ve been putting a lot of miles on the Tundra lately. Old job called and made an offer I couldn’t refuse so it’s back to the west side for us. Got an offer on our house in two days so I’ve been driving 600+ miles a week back and forth until we find something to buy.
Congrats. It’s a good time to be employed from what I hear, tough job market
 
Removed my rear seat and built my dogs a platform. Don't judge my craftsman ship to harshly though. I was trying to use as much of the scrap wood taking up space in my garage as possible. Only had to buy the countersunk latches for this project. My three dogs are going to have much more room now.

That similar delete would costs $$$$ from a vendor. I bet you're in it for less than $50🤘
Just spray lined it!
 
I’ve had my tundra on the market for the better part of two months. Not a single phone call or text message.

Maybe it’s a sign to keep it. But I really don’t need 4 rigs in the driveway

I had mine listed on here for a couple of months before listing it on Craigslist. Had it on craigslist for a couple of months, mind you, I was trying to get rid of it for what I owed, so after every payment the price dropped. It hit a point where suddenly my inbox exploded with people wanting it. I drove it to my local toyota dealership for Sequoia parts and they hit me hard to sell it to them. They paid just over asking. Not sure what year, trim and mileage yours is, but you might try and see if there are dealerships nearby that are buying.

Mine is a 2016 Crew Max TRD Pro with 100k. I just want pay off as well. Which is below market value, however no one has even tried to buy it.

It’s not posted on mud but it’s online locally.

To be honest if it was a 6 seat rig I’d just buisness expense it and let it set in the driveway for when I need it.
However the driveway is full of rigs I’d rather drive. 40, 200 series, and the wifeys Sequoia

IDK, man, looks pretty great to me! Why spend a ton of money and time on something your dog are going to get their muddy paws on anyway!
 
Made a trip to Overland Expo SoCal. Sure gave me lots of ideas and a few “yeah but if I bought that my wife would kill me” moments. If anyone is in the market for a WeBoost, coupon below is good until next weekend.

I've been looking at these for a couple years after seeing Union Pacific Railroad trucks with them. I have talked with a few owners and a few U.P. guys who use them, but I can never get a definitive answer on how well they work. The people who have them, that paid out of pocket can never give me a straight answer on whether or not they're truly worth it. Any insight that might sway someone one way or the other?
 
Seems like a starlink might be a better deal if you're off-grid a lot. I have a starlink setup and use it primarily for home internet, but it's also pretty easy to take along for adventures. Biggest downside is that they're actually pretty big and heavy physically, have a pretty high monthly fee if you're not also using for home internet, and they do use quite a bit of energy to run (and maybe politics). In my RV - excellent. In something like my side by side - it's just too big and energy heavy. For that I still rely on a Garmin Inreach. But I think the startlink is a pretty good option for the truck use if you aren't over-stressing the electrical system.

Another Starlink user - it definitely has its place. I’m reluctant to dump my home ISP as I like to have my security devices online while I’m away on trips.

Instead of a Garmin InReach or similar, I opted for a new iPhone with satellite communication capabilities. No additional subscription necessary is nice for emergency communication.

In my experience they work pretty well. Recent trip to Death Valley (technically Saline Valley Hot Springs) and a buddy has one in his GX460. He was able to Facetime with his wife and kids while out there. The drawback is if there is zero cell signal, WeBoost won’t create one.

I don’t own one but am strongly toying with the idea of buying one at 25% off. I’ve also heard great things about starlink but I think it’s more than I need.

I would probably drop the Starlink if I didn't live in a place with even worse wired internet access. In AK the wired ISP is $90/mo for around 20mbs actual speeds and data capped. It's also unreliable. Unlimited internet - which is something I hadn't thought of for a decade before living here - is more like $200/mo. In Utah I had 3 FTTH options and I had 1gb fiber for $50/mo. Starlink for me is consistently around 100-150mbs and has been super reliable. And for whatever reason - it's discounted to $90/mo for my zip code.

I'm with you on the iphone. I'm due for an upgrade and probably will stick the garmin in a drawer once I have an iphone with sat connectivity. It's a big value add for me. I'm also on FirstNet that does help some in remote areas with the band 14 additional coverage, but that also is a lot more useful in the lower 48 than here. Fingers crossed I'll be back in the L48 by mid summer.

I was mostly suggesting that for folks that need or want pretty solid internet performance out in the field, Starlink is really impressive in terms of connectivity anywhere and really good speeds. Starlink mini for $500 might be a better value than a $500 range extender if you need a lot of data when you're out and/or going to places where the range might still not get you connected. One nice thing about the Starlink is that you can sign up for a month when you need it and not pay for it when you're not using it. But $1,000/yr adds up for the service. I do think it would be preferable for the mini to have an option for buying by the gb for data that last a year or something like that.
