DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

No, it is fine.

At this point, it isn't even about the sticker, but the way that Tembo Tusk, the Person placing the sticker, and now a well known Overland FB group has responded on IG and directly at myself in regards to this.

I got kicked and blocked from said FB group, so whatever, I don't care.

At this point, puppies and truck talk are more important and its a damn sticker.

But no, ketchup does not go on freaking mac and cheese. That is just gross.

But really, the entire overland community is a damn cesspool of a holes that think if you have connections and money, you can do whatever you damn well please... and that is never going to change, but I will keep calling people out for it.

 

Take that 4lb and lay over the pinch weld that will help some when stuffed

 

You could just write a letter to your congressman, that seems to spark change

 

Big part of why I bought the sledges a while ago. I already figured flattening the pinch weld and cmc would likely need to be done for full flex free of rubbing. Just need it driving straight and not wearing the tires poorly so I have time to fix any rubbing issues.

 

Sarcasm sir

 

Maybe a silly question... does the tire size make a noticeable impact on alignment?

 

Pretty sure I've read when you change size it changes alignment angles. Maybe not a ton but enough I want it corrected to ensure my tires wear evenly. I also purposely jacked up my front alignment last night to increase the caster for less rubbing this morning.

 

No, but you can adjust caster to pull the tires farther forward.

 

I don't read sarcasm well.

 

Hahahahahaha my local reps are so corrupt already... I don't even want to talk about it.



Anyone know if you deactivate Facebook, does it still allow you to use FB messenger?

 

Hate mail flooding in?

 

Lol no, I am just tired of it honestly in general.

Politics, drama with friends, local shit, other reasons that I am not speaking of, I am just wanting a break man.

I hit under 250lbs today starting at 289... and I just want to focus on myself more and just ignore social media for a while honestly. It really provides nothing for me besides being lazy and scrolling through stuff and then hitting F5 when you need to refresh...

Tis true...

 

Congrats!

I just see all my high school friends marrying rich and selling protein shakes/skin care products

 

Keep up the good work shedding the pounds! I, too, get tired of Facebook and all of the politics. I deactivated my account for a few years before I finally logged back in because of planning a bachelor party. I don't post much and scroll through most of the BS posts. I use it more for the classified ads and upcoming events. Some things like the DFW Supra group are only on FB now. If I'm not on there I have to depend on one of the other members letting me know about meets and other events. Its almost a necessary evil for event planning

Same here. Even worse recently as it's my 20yr HS reunion next month.

 

Yea I know... trying to plan an event or something without FB is almost impossible...

And dang, I forgot about marketplace... I guess I can just go through and literally unfollow every single person I am friends with... that may work.

 

They make mass executions a little harder these days

 

Listen hun, you have got to try this new shake I have, it will detox your body so well! You can eat literally anything as long as you take this pill 5 minutes beforehand as it cancels everything out! Come on HUN!!!

OH I KNOW!

 

There is a sad truth in this. I don't even like the term "Overlanding" anymore. I enjoy the concept, and will admit that I was drawn into it several years ago when started to get popular. However, it seems like the "Overlanders" are people who can afford to have the nicest toys, the most expensive truck, bumpers, winch, camper, trailer, tires, etc.. [tangent]Heck, even the guys at XOverland have gotten away from their roots. Their series started with them going to places that they could drive from home. They'd get stuck and video the recovery. The most recent South America series was more of a road trip than it was overlanding.[/tangent]

I still enjoy using my truck to get to remote hunting spots and going camping somewhere that a high-clearance 4x4 is required, but I'm not about to consider myself an overlander because I don't like the stigma that has become attached.

I'm envious of you, and may not be far behind. I haven't logged into facebook in over 2 weeks. I want to see how long I can go without looking at it. I would delete/disable it completely, but I (as far as right now goes) want to have that tie back in....just in the event that I need to reach out to someone, or want to see if I know someone where I am about to visit, etc. The endless BS and politics and general ignorance is enough to make it unenjoyable.

Congrats on getting under 250. Sadly, I'm creepin' that way. I wanted to get under 200 from 215. Been hitting the gym and not watching what I'm eating and I'm at 222 right now. I think I need to pay more attention to what I consume.
