    It was a quick hit stop on the way back from Boston. I'll reach out if I am there for any meaningful period of time.

    I wish I could afford Baja Designs.

    My ditch lights went out, so now they are just for show. Considering Element LED from Instagram. Same lifetime warranty, less cost

    So update to the update: My chase bar had a loose contact somewhere on the inside, and I sent it back to get warrantied.

    Instead of just fixing it, they sent me A WHOLE NEW BAR!

    AND they put a new 4pin weatherpack connector on it to match how I sent the old one one!

    You can tell because the finish isn't sunfaded, or scuffed where my mounting bolts used to be.

    Yeah, that was the part that really impressed me. I'm not sure if that's how stock RTLs come or not, but mine was one of the scratch and dent ones they were selling last year, so it came with just bare leads on the end.

    This is another good example of "you get what you pay for". Great customer service is part of why I buy BD stuff. Good luck doing that with Wuoxon ebay special lights.

    Well, @My Name is Rahl has posted enough recipes that I want to remember, he gets his own post for me to keep track:

    Cauliflower: Chop it up into florets and drizzle with olive oil. Season to taste. Bake in a 375Âş oven for 15-20 minutes or until tender.

    chicky-chicky parm-parm: https://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/copycat-longhorn-parmesan-chicken

    Pork chops: S&P, Garlic powder, Onion, Chili
    If you don't have a cast iron skillet, get a heavy bottom skillet. Put a little oil/butter/bacon grease in the bottom and get the pan super hot; but not hot enough to make the fat smoke; probably medium to medium high heat. Once it's hot, put the chops in and let them sit there for about 3 minutes and DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!! After 3 minutes, lift up a corner of the chop and see if it's nicely browned. If it is, flip it and DO NOT TOUCH THEM!!! After another 3 minutes, they should be done.

    Not sure I'd ever move there, but I could do a vacation house.

    There's a guy that is pretty active in the UT toyota forums that has a house in Baja. Hardest part for him is making sure the well pump got turned off, etc when you leave.

    They went down there over new years, got all the way home, and realized they forgot to turn it off. Guess who had to go back a few weeks later...

    So...new issue...

    I was using the mount tracks for my tepui to hold the brackets that supported my chase bar.

    The kukenam rails are about 6 inches farther apart than my ayer...which is pretty much 6 inches too far apart. Back to the drawing board...

    Also, I've attempted the "buy a house mod". Offer submitted on Friday, will likely hear back tomorrow.
