    The modding bug hits Toyota and Jeep guys equally sometimes. I'm just too cheap (and poor) to throw money at my truck. But some of the Jeep guys I was with were just attacking everything "vigorously". :D
    So if that's your style I guess you need everything beefed up. I just going slow thinking "I have to drive this work work Monday". :D
    The only thing I think I "might" need is a trans pan skid. I have a TRDOR so it has the front, engine and center diff skids. And a plastic shield over the gas tank. My initial thoughts on the plastic gas tank skid is that it wouldn't protect the tank if dropping down on a rock but it would probably slide over one fine.
    Would the SOS trans skid work with the stock TRDOR skids?

    My wife wants to quit her job, so we started on the Dave Ramsey plan like 2 years ago.

    I had an 2008 IS350... not an expensive car but I miss all the features Lexus puts in. Mostly the headlights and heated and cooled leather seats.

    the factory “skid plates” are more of a Splash Guard than a skid. Super easy to bend and don’t protect much

    I am nowhere near SC, but I feel like I am going to just embed myself in this thread. This is my kind of BS thread.

    Cookies?
    I'm solidly sold. Squirreling away all future funds to hopefully purchase one. I was on the hype train from the beginning though... They could have put out a shit product, and I still think I would have been excited at this point lol.

    I wished there was In-N-Out here. That would make SC the best. How bad are Montana winters? That’s where I want to retire. Own some land and horses one day.

    It's full. No more land. Or horses. :laser:

    Honestly though it all depends on where you go. If you live up near Canada the winters are BRUTAL. If you live in/near Missoula, Bozeman, etc where the people concentrations are the winters aren't too bad. They last for 8 months and we get a lot of snow, but we don't usually get critically cold.

    SC is full too lol. I’d say half the people that live here are from Ohio. It’s crazy here. House prices keep going up. A house in my neighborhood cost almost double what it did 10 years ago

    I bought a house about a year ago... WAY overpaid for it, but I still got a good deal, and it was market appropriate. Amazing how this stuff blows up.

    That’s what shocked me the most. I moved down here from Bozeman to get a cheaper house, but houses skyrocketed in the last 2-3 years it seems. Under contract on a house with 3.3 acres less than a 1/4mile from NC.

    "I will live in Montana. And I will marry a round American woman and raise rabbits, and she will cook them for me. And I will have a pickup truck... maybe even a "recreational vehicle." And drive from state to state.Do they let you do that?"
