    Not at my Lowe’s. I have to see an actual cashier to use my discount.

    You know what’s silly? As a mil dependent I get the discount at home depot. Otherwise I would be on the same page and just go to Lowe’s unless my wife was with me.

    It's kind of shitty. I can sometimes convince a cashier at HD to give me the discount, but not always.

    Did I tell you I drilled a hole in my roof?

    She already did her time. It's why she makes the big bucks.

    Yeah. I did all the sound deadening and whatever. Figured I'd relocate the antenna while the headliner was down. Hope I never have to remove it. I'll also never do the sound deadening again.

    The nmo mounts are the best, they’re super clean imo. Hopefully the deadening makes a nice difference.

    It doesn't look hateful. I already had the cap so I can do stealth if needed.

    I don't know if the sound deadening did anything. Once I saw how much crap is in the headliner for the sunroof, I knew I was going to lose. I also ran out of foam toward the front floor, so I just did what I could.

    A few quick trips this weekend and it may have helped a little. Final test is tomorrow morning.

    I had Cooper st maxx in 255/80r17. They were great but I wanted a wider stance. I went to cooper mtp in 295/70r17. They were fine off road but on road they were rumbly and noisy as shit. Tore a sidewall and rather than buy a single 295, I sold them and went to 315/70r17 hankook rt03. I went with these because Walmart had them at $195 a tire and discount tire price matched them. These tires are smooth and hook up super well off-road. They’re a little noisy on road but all MT’s are. Would definitely recommend.

    Exactly...it took a year or more for her to catch on, so post baby C v stuff I'd start talking or showing items for sale up on TW and it's now become this for that kinda deal.

    I got away with the glaze until the
    Man our lab just finds the cleanest or most costly rug for yaking. Glad he's not wising up to these tactics.

    See I wish I could listen to her/she'd be happy with her command, but she's inevitably observant!! So I'm back to talking bout stuff and preferencing it with, I know...master bedroom chest and dresser set before any taco stuff.

    I thought mine would, and still hope that once the baby is old enough to really be less work on camping and trail outings (especially since most options are just under 3 hrs from us, not counting baby and mommy pit stop needs!). We are very much outdoor and camping enthusiasts.
    I know she's mentioned noticed improvement/changes for the better (without me mentioning anything), especially post hammer hangers and randyfab crosstube; then post coilovers and shock upgrade.

    Long story short, we were at wife's best friend's wedding, turns out brides little brothers gf has a 2nd gen black dcsb rocking some foxs all around. They parked (very limited parking at venue) in front of me and she was immediately making comments to me (I was grabbing diaper bag) and turns out she's a total taco gearhead and was like, my bf doesn't get it, he's like so what it's a truck, drive it.

    My wife was like, "Okay honey, have fun until the wedding talking to your new truck friend!":taco:

    My wife is great!

    We've done CALO a few times, actually heading down again in about 3 weeks. It's funny how some beaches you can camp on and others prohibit it, and both are National Parks.

    Yes. This is the equivalent to getting an automatic transmission but being able to “shift” by bumping the level up and down.

    How many gears on said automatic transmission? If its the Ford 10 speed on the 18+ trucks/cars then I am impressed. The boosted engines never loose torque through the power band. Very impressive

    In the one you sold for the mom Kia? Slightly disappointed when this happened. I enjoyed knowing you would never have the TPMS light come on. Peace of mind that your tires were always well inflated
