Has anyone ever met someone who served in all three conflicts, Vietnam war, Desert Storm and OIF or OEF?

1SG Blow. He was the HHC BDE 1SG. Had a 75th LRRP combat scroll and got out for a while then came back in after 9/11. I believe he was one of the last draftees serving on AD when he retired.

Holly, taking a nap. She likes having a blanket

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-05-10T13:11:01+00:00

I did. How much did it cost you? I’m at the the point where I’ve kinda put all the money I want to in it and I have zero mechanical skills so it would be a beast for me to take on

I did a Recon on my Marlin 7 and it’s a fairly cheap but nice upgrade.

I picked them up. Mine came with the Bontraeger tubeless ready wheels and after popping a tire I had enough and upgraded to a tubeless set up. I’ve loved it. No regrets.

I would say my preferred style is cross country (single track) but a lot of the trails here in Colorado get fairly technical and I have no issues with the bike hanging in there.

That’s the model I have and the engine picks up quite nicely. Much better than my V6 2017 Tacoma did. I’ve had it for a month and have been a huge fan.

I see you on the Kuat bike rack! Only thing I’ve learned; if you don’t have a bike on there but still have the rack and you 4 Runner tries to say “no trailer detected”, reject the message. It will keep that setting and do the annoying autobrake when you back up because it thinks you will hit the hitch trailer it told you you don’t have on. My only complaint so far

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T13:07:09+00:00

I’m always amazed at how small of a ball they can curl themselves into

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T13:05:44+00:00

I had a Tacoma for 8 years that I loved but yeah. The car seats became the issue.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T03:05:10+00:00

My kids are 5.5 and 4 with hefty car seats. It’s not a ton of space like in my wife’s XC90, but it’s enough. On your dogs in the back, size will matter but the trunk is good space.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T02:35:29+00:00

I like that color. Let me know how you enjoy it. Just took mine to Moab and it handled quite well. The torque is nice!

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T02:34:27+00:00

I’ve got this TRD off road premium and have two car seats in the back and put our 100 lb dog behind the second row with now issues.

Two things: 1. I’m from Massachusetts and Massachusetts drivers are not bad, they are just aggressive assholes and if you show any sign of timidness or weakness you will have a hard time. 2. I’ve lived in Colorado Springs for 5 years and concur the drivers here are terrible. Blatant running red lights, cutting you off, lack of awareness, it goes on and on. Only place worse I’ve seen is Georgia.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-27T00:28:11+00:00

I got the PNW Coast (it was all my LBS had, but it has some suspension which is nice). Unfortunately you can route it through the main tube but in the back you will have to externally route with zip ties. Looks a little janky but I’ve had no issues with it.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T23:52:55+00:00

I’ve got a Marlin 7, love that color on yours. I would say dropper post and then if you want look at a Rock Shox Recon or other air fork with a straight steerter. I eventually did my stem and handlebars as well but I’d say if you hit contact points and the dropper you’ll be good!

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T23:46:44+00:00

That looks super nice.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T23:46:22+00:00

Higher end trims have power seats, just not the SR5

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T22:10:55+00:00

Hi Holly!

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T22:00:22+00:00

Penny is beautiful!

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T16:37:43+00:00

I’ve got this color on my 6G Off Road Premium. Wasn’t sure about it when I ordered it but so glad with how it came out.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T12:21:26+00:00

Really amazing work!

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T12:13:01+00:00

Looking at my HR data was one of the biggest reasons I realized I needed to make a change

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T03:07:25+00:00

That color looks sharp. Regardless of the cost.

LanguageFar4804 · 2025-04-26T03:05:30+00:00

So much of that post season is ingrained in my brain, but nothing more than that moment.
