The Lair

Here's a teaser of what's to come! I was going to mount it up above, but this place is much more natural to look at, and it's an easier install. Win win!! It's mounted, but the cable isn't hooked up yet.



Our full driveway! It's a little unnerving parking on the steep part, but I'll get used to it.

 

Since it took me an hour to get caught up! You guys have been on it today! Since we showed off the puppers I thought I would give a shoutout to my beagle Copper.

 

Cooper's a little stud!

 

Been a busy day, both in and outside the lair!

 

It really seems that Thurdays is the day for you!! I still don't believe how fast things are going for your build lol!

Really nice looking house! Those 3 level house are pretty rare around here. With the land going a little higher in the backyard I guess you don't have a basement?

 

GM @EatSleepTacos & to the Resistance Group here at the Lair!

It is Friday! The weekend is basically here

 

oh yeah, it is!

 

Praise the laaaaaaaaaaaaawd!

 

Friday!!!!!

 

I can't believe it either! I never thought I'd be getting a lift and tires right off the bat.

Thanks about the house! We really like it. It's older, and you can especially tell when trying to be quiet at night going to the bathroom because it squeaks like a mofo. No basement for us! The first floor is essentially our basement/garage with our dining/living area second floor and bedrooms third floor.

Morning! It's like my third Saturday in a row! I had Wednesday-Saturday off right now.

 

GM folks!

 

Alright, got my $75 gift card in from when I got my tires. I already bought an Amazon gift card with it, so now the question arises, what should I buy? I'm leaning towards either the RAM stuff for my tablet, or a Wavian Jerry gas can. If you're unfamiliar with them, check out this video. Insanely sturdy!

Cans

 

That's what I was already leaning towards. Unfortunately it's just "can" because they're $80 a pop

 

techdeck? i like mine

 

I have a different ram solution up front. I have a mount on the other side too, but not in this pic. It's a solid system, just a pain to install.

 

Running around this morning getting estimates on my truck...I am going to need some guidance and EST logic in a bit. I have a dilemma.

 

Oh boy, lay it on me.

 

I got backed into while parked at the office a few weeks ago. Estimates are coming in at 1200-1500. My dilemma is, do I order a plate bumper, have it repaired back to stock, or pocket the money to use to order a dashcam, new double din stereo/back up cam, and new projector headlights/led for lights...

This is what the damage looks like.

 

It's a tough call, and varies by person. Do you ever off road? Are you on stock suspension? If you don't wheel and are on stock suspension, I'd skip the plate bumper. It'll be too much weight in the front, and it'll likely look anemic. Could also be an excuse to throw a lift on there! If you go on the cheaper end of the spectrum for bumpers, you'll only be out of pocket a few hundred to do both.


If you skip the bumper, then I'd leave it as is and pocket the check. You'd be surprised how much a polisher from harbor freight will take out those scratches. If you're ok with living with that, then go that route.

If the scratches will bug you, then get it fixed. I'd imagine you're tired of that though since you recently hit a deer IIRC.
