i love finding Xterras in junkyards. I usually have to go to Grand Prairie or Mesquite to dig around but who doesnt love a pick n pull?
I went to the one in GP looking for a Vue to snag a Gentek rearview and when I walked past their 6-8 X's it was like the sky oped up, "AAHHH!".. They'd all been picked clean of goodies and aftermarket stuffs but I bet the parts I need I could probably still find..

They had a trick-or-treat thing at the high school tonight. Took the kids. They decked out the entire inside of the school in themes, costumes, the lot. Was interesting. Was also incredibly awkward for me. All the high school kids were done up. But. The girls were the only ones that seemed to give a shiat. And I can't compliment HS girls about thier costumes. That's ufcking creepy. I'm more than twice as old as all of you!

It hit me this weekend that I'm old enough to have a kid who's old enough to drink. Fsck.

drivers side manifold installed. Went with ebay manifold, with cat attached, $180 shipped.

after arguing with the motor shop, they installed it for $200 which seems more than fair to me. No chance i wanted to do that job. Down side is the factory heat shield wont bolt to it.

OE one had a hairline crack along the bottom so I can see how they missed it.

so far happy with this ebay manifold. But only 100 miles on it thus far.

Or like that old show TRUCKS! where they "easily" installed lifts and drop kits but they had a HUGE well lit shop with a lift and every tool known to man. Well sure, I'd be a better mechanic if i wasn't kneeling on gravel in the dark with my Harbor Freight/Fisher Price tool kit.
**Laughs after swapping the radiator over the weekend, and draining half the coolant in the gravel driveway, since I don't have lifts or a ramp, and couldn't get the bucket in the right spot**

Never even heard of Canadian BBQ, is it a thing? Can't imagine its got anything on any of the US styles.
Well technically it would be smoking meat and not all Canadians but maillet has some posted some pretty delicious sounding food he makes when he’s not pulling student drivers out of the mud :)

No snow chains? Or a Nice Fancy Armored Track Vehicle. Least they have Yellow warning stickers on back STUDENT DRIVERS.. Never seen that on a Military convoy/ Invasion.. Or it's trickery.. haha

Looks greasy and fun!.
