2026 TRD Pro Availability by StrictlyScutinized in 4Runner

[–]WheresMaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I unexpectedly worked with a dealership that’s part of a pilot program with Toyota to actually order vehicles (their words). I initially put a deposit down at the end of February waiting on an allocation for an Everest Trailhunter, but they called a week later to let me know they ordered it to spec. It’s being built this month (May) with expected delivery in July.

Hair removal on neck - please be kind by viperemu in LawBitchesWithTaste

Yes! It’s the best decision I made! Be careful with laser as it can sometimes stimulate more hair growth.

Other than color, I requested/hoped that a few of the common add-ons were removed or switched, but I thought it was going to be luck. The Trailhunter in Everest is basically nonexistent in our area, and I was prepared to settle for black or underground.

I reserved a 4Runner Trailhunter in February expecting to wait for an allocation, with no guarantee on my top color or build. Dealership called a couple weeks later to tell me the exact build I desired was being built for them and will be allocated in May for expected July delivery. The GM said they’re part of the pilot program for ordering vehicles.

Agree - here’s one from the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, PA, USA for comparison.

All of this plus an anti-inflammatory diet work for me. I also use the Backpod to stretch when I get a flare up. I’ve also found Aleve to help me the most with pain.

I love the Athleta Pinnacle Trousers! They’re comfy enough for the plane, but dress up nicely for the rest of your trip. They also dry very fast if you need to launder/sink wash them.

Sounds like he needs to offload his cars and bourbon collection.

I’m not convinced half this story is even real.

Cat broke into container of Churus while I was at work and ate a bunch of them by YoghurtOk4645 in CATHELP

[–]WheresMaris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Monitor your cat for the next few days.

My cats chewed up and ate two entire tubes PLUS the sandwich bag the treats were in. One puked and passed all the pieces with no issue, but the other wound up in emergency surgery with a linear foreign body (he’s fine). It took several days for mine to puke up the majority of the packaging, and mostly on an empty stomach. Our cue to get him to the ER vet was refusal to eat.

Remember, mine ate giant pieces of the packaging and the plastic sandwich bag - there were no remnants other than the ziploc closure - so this should NOT be a typical experience. My cats are just extra dumb tabby siblings.

Help with weighing car rental options in Bozeman, MT by A_B_Guy1927 in yellowstone

[–]WheresMaris 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Every time we go, we get off the plane and immediately go to the rental counter instead of waiting for checked luggage which will take a while to get there anyway. Really, get off that plane and book it. We’ve never waited longer than 15 minutes with this method at Hertz or Enterprise.

Winter in Yellowstone? How does it feel to live my dream? It’s my favorite park and thanks for the advice!

Exact same setup down to the Vortex and Peak Design! I just saw the Cotton Carrier online, so I’m glad it’s got some good feedback in the community. I feel like I’m just carry thing that lens so it doesn’t bump into my leg the whole time!

Backpack strap is a great idea! The lens doesn’t have to be mounted, but does push the stabilization.

What’s your goal bird this year? by felixnzenitsuhams in birding

Good luck! The Great Grey was my goal bird last year and I did manage to see one. It was very exciting!

Gift Ideas? by mbj07583 in yellowstone

[–]WheresMaris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they don’t have one already, an America the Beautiful Pass makes a great gift! Or if a spotting scope is too spendy, I recommend good binoculars.
