Thanks bud

 

I’m just going leave this here. Who says 4 bangers can’t tow

 

I've owned a couple Subaru's in my time...those little boxer engines were amazingly stout engines!! Heck, my step-mom is still driving theirs from the late 90's (they are close to 250k on the original engine)!

 

I used to seen one frickin Prius on this island that would tow

 

Lol so glad my wife doesn’t know shit about cars sometimes. Told her I was thinking of ordering a set of new greasable shackles and it was relatively cheap. And she was like. “At this point I’ll be pissed if you put anything cheap on your truck. I hate to say it but you need matching kings in the rear” hahah totally left field there but hey can’t bitch I just got a thumbs up to buy shocks kinda sorta

She is learing slowly about cars and parts though so I’m not totally failing her

 

My wife gotta hang out with your wife...

Me: honey, gonna buy a winch
Her: why do you need one?
Me: just in case... gotta be prepared for when we go cmping
Her: so you getting a winch to pull other people out?

 

Hahaha go for it my wife needs friend. (That’s not a joke) Hahaha my wife knows I’m not ordering a bumper without a winch. But she also knows I don’t order shit without talking to her first. I still haven’t herd the end of it since I ordered my suspension without telling her.... it’s been 2 years :/ but I did promise her we will buy her a Jeep in the main land and we’ll fix it up for her.

Do you let your wife help put parts on? That’s one of the reasons my wife let’s me order shit too. Because I’ll do the driver side and she’s watches and then she does Thebes passenger side.

 

Nice... Nah, she (almost) lets me get whatever.. She knows I will anyway...lol...

We "did" have an agreement that we would tell the other about purchases over $100

Recently I bought a Snowpeak stainless coffee pot for camping. Wife looked at the CC statement:

Wife: I saw how much the camping coffee pot was..
Me: Yep.. Japanese stainless.. Will last a lifetime.
Wife: Did you think we didn't need to talk cause it was $99.00

 

I’m Italian/Irish so I’m stubborn as hell when it comes to this kind of stuff. Wife is from japan and is stubborn when it comes to spending money and really gets annoyed I just laugh it off and do something nice for her afterwards lol.

 

Anyone look into marine or deep cycle batteries recently?

Northstar, Odyssey, and Optima...

Sams Club has Duracell 31M that go for like $175

 

^ to add to deals. For anyone that has access to Ft Shafter PX they are selling Royal Purple 5qt containers for $27. 1qt is still the normal price.

 

I been reading that Royal Purple isn't the same these days. Different formula or something

 

Idk been running it for 3 going on 4th oil change now and have had no issues. Drove from MD to LA. Some people say oil is oil though. But I’m pleased this far. But I’m pretty sure changing oil brands isn’t really humanly noticeable as much as it is psychosomatic when people swear on their lives they notice a difference.
