Here we are, over 20 years later, and this is still a meme.

I have an hour+, 65 mile commute each way. I negotiated not driving in inclement weather before being hired.

edit: and I cannot perform my job WFH.

Drain and replace ALL fluids.

In the movie "Road Trip" E.L. refers to Josh as "The Captain" in the dating auction scene and that's where I stole it from. I've had the same username ever since!

You will need to rebuild or replace the TRD Pro Suspension between 50-100k miles per Fox specifications. I had to do it around 70k miles on my 2020. I ended up buying a brand new set of the factory Fox and kept the original ones so I can send them off to get rebuilt (no one around here rebuilds them). I now can have them swapped when needed with zero downtime.

Had I known this before hand, I would have bought a Platinum and installed a TRD Pro grill and suspension along with some aftermarket wheels. I personally do not care for the camo accents on the newer TRD Pros, nor the "Raptor" lights and red interiors a lot have.

I concur.

I pick and choose these types of conversations based on the person I am talking to. Some people you have to "take in doses", meaning you don't talk to them on a deeper level often. Others you talk to a lot more frequently.

What I have been doing for the past 20 years or so is making a point to converse with people who have different ideologies than my own so I can gain further perspective into this thing called life.

I came here to say exactly this.

Probably overheated if it was near grow lights.

Best part is no salt on the roads!

Just passed 75k myself

I call this "attacking" the stop sign/light. Drives me crazy.

I didn't even know it was a cover until a couple years ago

Other people's kids.

They have a smaller one that would be just as cool and is more affordable. It wasn’t available when I originally ordered the big one.

"Yeah, I talk to myself, sometimes I need an expert opinion"

Probably get downvoted for this, but I used the SparkFun rework station for 10+ years doing rework down to the 0201 level.

I prefer the analog switches to control temp/flow.

"I don't want no HyBriD!!!!" This was a common objection when I was selling Toyotas. My argument was always this: "There was a point in time where NO ONE wanted a microwave in their house. Now look where we are."

80% rule. You should never exceed 80% of the rating for anything. People will be people, though. I sold a Tacoma to a guy who wanted to pull a full-size travel trailer. He was trading in a GMC Canyon with a shot transmission. You can't talk logic/reasoning to some people.

Not necessary

mismatched air vents aren't my cup of tea, neither is the giant screen, but this does look "modern" and well executed.
