Adding Diode Dynamics SS3 LED lights to my dad’s Jeep Wrangler TJ was incredibly easy. We were able use factory wiring and switches and keep from cutting the dash at all. We simply use the open fog light switch. Video all about the process is over on my YouTube channel right now!

Stace Life 4Runner?!?! 😂 JK… had some fun while doing a tire rotation. Now that we know how much the 6th Gen will be, how you’ll need to get a Pro or Trailhunter to get the stabilizer disconnect feature, and reflecting on 3 years with this one… our family 2021 is going nowhere. Toyota knocked it out of the park with this vehicle. It’s the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. I love it. We’re happy with it. It stays. 😁

Wow. I’m glad we got the family 4Runner when we did. Our 2021 TRD Off Road was $40k after the delivery fees. An increase of $10k in 4 years is wild. 25% higher in 4 years! If I wanted a hybrid it would be at least $12k more. Also, our 5th Gen is incredible and I have no intention of selling it. Those are my thoughts on that. 👍

No video today… but it’s been an absolutely awesome week wrenching with Marley on the new project each evening. So lots of great stuff is coming! 🥹

OK… fellow video nerds. I think GoPro is out and Osmo Action is in (for vlogging/run-n-gun stuff). Here’s why…
1. Color correction is easier.
2. Raw H264/H265 files play back smoother on my PC.
3. In my shop space the GoPro’s have a weird banding issue… the Osmo doesn’t with the same settings.
4. I had an entire project I filmed with Marley that had no audio… with a Hero 12.
5. The Osmo battery life is way better.

I still have 6 GoPros so I’ll keep using them. But eventually they’ll all be phased out. End of rant. 😁



Has a GoPro failed you?

Next week… after a ridiculous delay… I’m starting an all new project with my daughter Marley. In 3 years she’ll be the primary driver. Until then she and I will maintain, restore and modify this 90’s classic Toyota together. Words can’t express how excited I am to do this with her. 🥲

Did wildfires destroy a 101 year old lookout cabin and some of my favorite campsites?! After months of closures we enter the burned area to find out!

Fire season devastated the forests in the Cascade Mountain Range earlier this year. But there's a slim chance that the historic lookout cabin "Jump Off" and...
