20,000 mile wash for Pepper, since it hit 50 in PA today! And Snowflake got a bath too, but only @ 14k.

We'll see what Punxy Phil says on Thursday, but sssshhhh....I haven't put gas in my snowblower yet?

Man I love that HPR in the setting sun.

At least it's not that Australian crap....vegemite.
My first meal in Australia was breakfast. There was a jar of Vegemite on the table. Of course, I wanted to try it, so I spread it on my toast as thick as I would peanut butter.

A friend of mine sent me a big care package while I was deployed. It included a jar. I nearly vomited when I sniffed it.

I experimented with the Trail Management mode in the snow today. I came out extremely impressed. My crappy driving I got thru, but was spinning my tires a lot. I put it in TM Mud, Ruts and Snow Mode and set it to 7 MPH. It took off and didn't spin its wheels at all - just motored thru all the snow without a hiccup. I raised it up to 15MPH at one point and it just worked.

I was extremely impressed and will be using it again when I drive in the snow. I thought it was more of a gimmick, but it really works.....

I thought this too but tested it out when I first got the truck off roading on a steep trail. It was nice how it takes over and rock crawls up the hill with zero effort. You can step on the gas to override it then let off and it goes right back to your set speed. The only thing that's freaky is the grinding from the ABS pumps. It sounds like rocks grinding into your rotors.

I didn't have any ABS noise, although most of my travel was uphill, not down. But even downhill in the snow the ABS wasn't kicking in. I was honestly amazed at how well it worked - I will be using it again in the future for sure.

I was going uphill too, a steep incline. That's surprising they usually are loud and grinding. At least now if it does it you'll know you didn't break something. Funny because I had "Crawl Control" in my Tacoma and never used it because I also thought it was gimmicky. It really does work good and will get you through some tough stuff easily. Plus it kind of relaxes you where you're not so focused on your feet/brakes and you can look ahead and plan your route.

  • Buffed and polished most of the exterior. Nothing fancy, just basic turtle wax scratch remover.
  • Cleaned windows
  • Did more dent removal
  • 303'ed the bed cover. About all I use it for these days.
  • Broke my PCV connector so hopefully I can get my catch can installed soon lol

same for me. when i first got the 5g with TM i thought pfft what would some computer nerd know about off road traction. and then i tried it. :eek: works so well its crazy. i dont even bother with the selector switch now unless im wanting 4 low which is rare. the mud ruts snow and the sand modes are my favorite. they make it so easy. i dont even bother to air down anymore lately lol.
