The Garage (What did you work on today?)

[Chavannigans]

Sorry you have all of that going on... Hopefully it will work out better than anticipated... Your new cruiser sounds like it will be fun!

That was her 5th car accident in 2 years

She has also been physically aggressive with me recently, including a pretty serious incident last year that left me with some deep bruises for a few weeks.

I’m honestly relieved and just taking it one day at a time.

Keeping myself busy as a solo dad for the past few weeks and researching the new platform.

My favorite feature so far is the center console fridge. It’s legit! Toyota developed it after NGOs like UNICEF and the WHO asked them to incorporate a fridge that could transport vaccines and medicines in regions like the Sahara. It has its own EVAP core so it’s not just a box with a fan inside. It can get down into the 30-40* Fahrenheit zone if you leave it running for a while.

It has other neat stuff too radar cruise control, 7.1 surround Mark Levinson sound system, and headlights that actually turn with the steering wheel.

Feels like a tank going down the road. Much roomier inside for big families too.

Not really sure how far I want to take things yet but I am really excited about putting the 35”s on there soon.

The wheels I chose are a new offering from Icon called the Icon Alloys Hammer Pro in a 17x8.5 with +25 offset

They have a really cool internal beadlock system that is DOT legal but can safely go down to single digit PSIs. They use bolts that thread into the inner barrel of the wheel and seal the inside of the bead against the outer lip of the rim.

They also have replaceable outer rings so if I get curb-rock rash I can just replace the damaged section and keep them looking new.

Well, it sounds like you have a healthy perspective on things and I hope you have a great Father's Day...
Also sounds like your new truck is gonna be really cool!

So sorry to hear that.

Glad you have a project to focus on and love those wheels! I looked at something similar for my Wrangler but couldn’t do it because I have an aftermarket backup camera and there wasn’t enough room between the openings in the wheel for the camera to poke through.

That's awesome!
And that band saw is so cool! I sold a cherry tree (non-fruit bearing) that had died back in the 80's, and the guy who bought it brought one of those. He cut down the tree and had it sawn up in like 3 hours - amazing!
