What did you buy this week?

[sd455dan]

Slitting blade for the mill, Add on compression release with lever for the YZ head and a NEW KILL switch that old one is finicky.
Silver solder,
Frost king 160 foot roof heating element to keep the every year Ice dam from forming on the roof edge.

Thinking of ordering a 12 volt hydraulic self contained pump for the Ford 550 and a cylinder to convert the fixed 36" backhoe thumb to a movable one. Triple nickels got the valve stack that is easy to add a remote to the backhoe that the 550's apparently did not.

Tank of gas for my Flex. $90 Kanuckistan money.
Good deal as it's slowly come down from $1,70 a Litre to about $1.40 or aboot $5.30 a US gallon.
Diesel is about $6.90.

Well, @tacticalturnip when you asked me if I did the research, I actually had not done enough on specifically the Titan XD, I had researched the Titan but the XD is a different animal (at least the turbo version). I then searched for more info and realized I had made a BIG mistake. So, I bit the bullet, cut my losses and dumped the Nissan XD. I traded it tonight for this 2018 Toyota Tundra SR5 5.7L. Had 90k miles on it and a clean Carfax with religious oil changes.

No, I am not made of money and it hurt, let me tell you. After reading some of the horror stories and watching youtube videos on how to avoid being one of those horror stories, by deleting your emissions and hoping and praying over the transmission, turbo and whatever else to not fail, I decided that's not for me.

The problem, Nissan did a bunch of crap to that Cummins that screwed it up and there were a lot of issues with it and everything attached to it. The Cummins and transmission pairing and other things Nissan did was a huge flop on the XD. The gasser is probably fine.

Don't ask me any details on the $$$ because I'm not talking about it. I'm putting that in the rear view and enjoying my Tundra. I also have a 2002 Tundra I'm trying to decide if I am selling or not, runs great.

So, here is today's purchase and the second truck I bought this week.... Salesman said it was a first for him. Hopefully the last for me.

@ultrarunner I hear ya, I'll be eating beans and rice for a while, luckily I like them both.

I'm a little late on replying to this, but I've had a 2018 Tundra from new though mine is the work truck package, not a fancy TRD. Everyone says never buy a new vehicle because of depreciation blah, blah, blah. I get it, but I have no regrets about the Tundra. My last daily vehicle was a daily for 18 years, and that was a GM product. Depreciation is not a concern for me. You made a good call. I'd have a high mileage Tundra over a low mileage Nissan any day of the week. The only thing I would recommend is getting it to the dealership to get all the software updates if they haven't been done already. None of them affect drive-ability, but it can't hurt.

That's good to hear that you like your Tundra. Mine isn't loaded with options either but it has the most important options. I love driving it and plan to put 300k on it. It's a beast.

Thanks for the vote of confidence I did the right thing.

I just now ordered this from Lowe's. For years I've had a router but never a table. It's a bench top and storage for all my bits scattered around. It really makes router more versatile.
