3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner Differential Drain plug mod

by

Here’s a great DIY “sick mod” I learned for replacing the stock OEM hex drain plug on the front differential on my 1998 3rd Gen Toyota 4Runner! Simply replace it with the Lexus part #90341-24016 which has a 14 mm bolt head and therefore infinitely easier to unscrew.

Shady Acres Aircraft Crossing

by
This clip shows an actual aircraft crossing at Shady Acres, Washington. The motorists are unaware of when a plane is coming due to obscuring trees on either side, and the plane flies low enough it would be hit by a large vehicle. Accident waiting to happen in my opinion! This runway is only 1600 feet long! We just drove to pick up this Fly Washington Passport Stamp, perhaps I’ll fly in there some day!

Skiing Mt St Helens – 2012

by
***Disclaimer***: A waayyyy too long video with no real substance – clearly I was having way too much fun with Apple’s iMovie here as well as Garage Band…. sorry if you came here for quality content or information; you’re not gonna get it! I’m happy about the screenshot of me skiing a steep line but this vid does not stand the test of time.

Katt, a friend and his dog and I haul a sled full of food and beer to the base of St. Helens, and debut our GoPro Hero cams – the mountain is completely bare and the skiing sucks ass and so do we!
