    Oh and if you DM me on Instagram/Social Media I won't respond - I'm off of it for this month and hopefully months to follow.

    Also doing another challenge this month where I run at least 30 miles a week. Day 2 of it right now and I'm 11 miles in so far, my legs are killing me. Need to go get custom running shoes pretty soon as I have been using a $40 pair of Nike's that are 3 years old. I'm training for a half marathon which I know I can already run easily, but my time sucks. I'm aiming to be running 8 minutes per mile, which is 1 minute faster per mile than average.

    Another huge thing that may be coming is a complete change in what I'm studying. I have been pretty unmotivated in school recently and feel as if I'm just wasting my days where I could be learning something I truly enjoy. Going to keep this one to myself though as I have already began training for the program, just waiting to be accepted (which is a challenge). Hope it all works out in the long run but if so, I'll be gone for close to 4 months and months to follow after.

    Hey Shawn - I have yet to find lights which are angled. My bet would be putting 3" LED Pods (or whatever fits) and just have them at an angle to fit with the design of the bumper. However I think most people just slap on the pods, have them pointed out, and that's enough. I plan on using those two light spots for chase lights more than backup lights since I can't see crap out the back already haha. Once I get around to doing it I'll definitely post it in the thread but it's going to be a while, truck is not going to have money thrown at it for a while after LT.

    Your bumpers look good! Congrats man.

    Congrats on breaking the status quo! I see so many people that hate their lives but just go with the flow because it is easy and comfortable.

    It's even worse when you realize that those aren't his shocks and he's still eating a cheap ass lunch.

    Exactly. I’m bored in school - I want a challenge that doesn’t require calc 3 or some physics class which makes you want to commit suicide and I think I found it. I’m still young so I got time and I already got an AA so if need be, I can go back to school.

    Surprised you’re not eating in the shell on the daddy carpet, heard meals taste better with a chance of semen near it hahaha

    That's why I changed to Finance from ChemE. Found it way more exciting.

    Don't worry, corporate America will figure out how to make you do job duties FAR outside the purview of your educational field and job description while buzzkilling the parts that are no matter what you study.

    I changed my major 3-4 times until I found what I love. 7 years to get a bachelors degree, but it’s worth it since it’s something I love.

    I should go back to school for something that I like.

    Just hating my job currently, but its paying for the fun stuff. Been at the company for 7+ years, so I have seniority built up.. They pay for school, so maybe ill have them pay for me to change careers :rofl:

    Took me 8 years to get my BFA in photography, lol. Switched schools halfway through and basically had to start over since the first school had a bullshit accreditation. And the first few years 18 - 20 were just community college shenanigans.
