Dummys!  Just pour some water on that sumbitch.

I can't figure out if people are wicked smart or wicked stupid.

In the second video in the article it looked like they were spraying water on the fire. What did they think the fire was going to spread. I think I would have saved my pumps for another day.

I wondered if he was changing body mounts which would have the body unbolted from the chassis but usually only a few bolts at a time. Someone else suggested he was installing a lift kit to make room for bigger tires which sounds like it jibes with current trends. But I really don't know, but bet he's fired.


 

My Tacoma is going in for a frame check next month which could end in them swapping the frame out. That must not be a NorthEast SUV.

It's pretty rare around here, too, but not unheard of.  Usually a truck with a twisted frame.

Of course, fewer and fewer vehicles have a frame to swap out...

I am familiar with the idea of "frame-off restoration," but  that seems like something else entirely.

The very concept with all it would entail is almost laughable..
I would like to hear more of what you know now and as you learn.

That mostly clears it up.
Makes sense if Toyota pays for it and includes other problems.
Two guys, two days?

That link has a surprising CR report about new pickups.
My kid's '93 4X (still called Hi-Lux in those days) has around 400K with a couple of valve jobs and clutches, front axles, U-joints and little more
Glad for pit in garage. Tough truck.  My ' 60 GMC has many fewer miles and fewer fixes.

Apologies for this large pic, but:

Look down there near the bottom, in the section "Past Members"...



Wanna talk 'bout that, Mr. V?

I would guess.. and that's all it is... that oil rig created like a man made reef and fish flocked to the shelter.
But man made structures don't produce food like a reef or kelp bed, so with all those fish food is short.
All those fish going for the apple are in danger of being food for bigger fish.
Keep your eye on the ball, son.  OK dad I wi Bam, run over by a truck.

Cocaine, it's a helluva drug, man, helluva drug...
 

I lack the stamina to watch that, I only made it a quarter of the way.
