    You could also consider some legumes. I am not sure how big of an area you're talking. Clover and Bird's foot trefoil both produce a flower, and are high in protein for other wildlife to enjoy. They are a little more for seed due to being perennial. The maintenance can be costly if you use herbicides. I have found that mowing regularly is about the cheapest and most reliable option.

    We have always used Perkiomen Bicycles. My dad has purchased bikes their for a long time. Don’t know where you’re located but it’s kind of the go to place around here. The Perkiomen Trail runs directly behind the shop and they let ya test the best out on the gravel, tarmac, etc(not sure if they still do, but they did maybe 6 years ago).

    Like others have said, some do have invasive species. If the stump is still there you should probably put down a good thick layer of top soil so it doesn’t create a huge sink hole when the stump finally rots away if you’re not removing it. I know you said wildflower but. We have Daffodils that are beautiful but only stay in the spring, low maintenance. Geraniums can also take a beating and still come back the next season.

    Sounds like a good plan to me! There’s a place up around here called Wendy’s Flowers. A little pricey but they have a huge selection and are seriously knowledgeable.

    If you are thinking about privacy I would suggest sunflowers or a reed or Egyptian grass. With the sunflowers I use a mix of cowpeas and vining beans to plant with it. They use the stalks of the sunflowers and work well together. Granted my experience is only growing things for deer to eat. I use sunflowers, corn, and Egypt grass to prevent spotters from hitting my fields. Be sure to update, I'm curious to see how it turns out. I have about 1/2 acre in my yard that I don't mow regularly and have been contemplating something similar. I am thinking of planting strictly clover in there, but some natural wild flowers would be nice and beneficial as well.

    Cleaner than mine at the moment. ARB is what I desire, but I think I may go cheap and used for a while. Focus on the rear bumper. I have too many mods sitting in my garage at the moment. Hopefully by the end of the summer it is a different truck. Now, i'm second guessing not going with King or Fox for adjustability though. Should've listened to everyone else, but my original plans were to lift it 3 inches and mall crawl. That has changed a bit and my vision is changing with my situation a little. Now I want to wheel some.

    I can't wait to see that beast mounted though. Going with any lights?

    Haven't decided what I'm going to do with lights beyond the included fogs. Probably get the winch mounted in it tomorrow and figure out when I want to rip the truck apart. I'll probably take my ADS off at the same time and crank them up a bit to deal with the weight.

    I am starting to see that myself. I am also in the market for a rear bumper and CMC. I guess I will see how this goes, but for now I am just hoping I don't have an issue with the sliders that needs customer service.

    Got a Corolla Hatchback rental in substitute for my truck from the dealer... smells like a pack of cigarettes, ash everywhere, and food crumbs with candy bar trash when my dad jumped in it at the dealer... pretty sure the dealer don’t give a sh*t about us. 38FF1AE5-B26D-4560-B234-4B0B31229B51.jpg

    Sliders are one of things to not bother powder coating imo. They take so much debris from the road, plus if you're actually using them as sliders..

    Unrelated note: winch mounted.. except I need to grab two longer 7/16 grade 8 bolts to mount the hawse fairlead.
