Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

Heh, nah, just catching up. I saw you got there already

Its an easy thing to get backwards. No judgment.

 

It's more fun to just give you shit lol

 

There's way more aftermarket support for older Jeeps then Yota's. The easiest thing to build if you want to run 40's is probably an XJ. They're cheap as hell. There are lots of them. Very easy to swap an LS motor into. More bolt on support then you can imagine.

 

I had an XJ on 35s. Unibody.....never again.

Best bang for the buck I think would be a worn out YJ. Chevy v8 swap, 4:1 tcase, 1 tons, lockers, and 37s.

Frame stiffeners. I don't really have a problem with a unibody as that weakness is easy to fix. Having a plug and play LS swap kit? Priceless. lol

 

Xj has the same drive drivetrain as the YJ unless it's a real old XJ with the puegot trans. YJ has a bigger engine bay too

Wranglers look cooler anyways than the mom wagons lol


Eh. Fuck it. Tube buggy

 

Exactly. You want a rig that has the motor you want, frame height you want, tire size you want, anti-dive and anti-squat that you want, travel that you want, articulation that you want then there is only one choice. Tube buggy.

 

Its on my bucket list to do the whole thing. I’d love for my son to get a little older and join me.

 

Then I have to buy a diesel tow rig and a flatbed trailer.

Come on GME, get your ass in gear

 

Yep. That extra $30K is one of the reasons I haven't started building one yet. The other big reason is my shitty welding skills. lol

 

I am doing from west to East coast walk this year
Next year I’m planning on the Appalachian trail from top to bottom
Then the PCT from Mexico to Canada
And then I’m flat out skipping the central trail in the middle of the US

awesome man! Good luck!

 

When you do the PCT there's a less traveled alternative to the JMT through most of the Sierra. If you like solitude in the mountains I can't recommend it enough. It combines the Southern Sierra High Route with the classic Sierra High Route. It makes logistics a little harder but if you decide it's for you I'll hike in a restock for you at Dusy Basin.

I think what you’re missing here is those Fidelity funds are each geared have 10+ percent locked up in cash and bonds within the fund. You don’t get to then decide to use that cash to buy more stock it stays cash/bonds always. Even worse is that if your stocks go up a lot your fund then becomes out of balance and defund manager has to sell stock to buy more cash and bonds to stay at that. 10%

 

Make sure you have a sturdy pair of flip-flops

 

Olukai Ohana. By far the best flops on the market. I hike in my flops and they have lasted 5 years. Last Friday I finally had to order another pair from them. 5 years of heavy use for a flip flop is unheard of. I have killed Chaco's in a season, Reef in a season, Teva's in one hike. About 12 years ago I picked up a pair of Teva's from REI. I hiked the Bugaboo's in them. That 8 miles of hiking literally destroyed them. These Olukai's have 100's of miles on them. The only reason I need a new pair is I finally wore through the top pad. Other then that they are still functional. lol

 

I grilled the rest of the scallops and made cocktail sauce. There's extras if anybody is hungry

 

have you sold any yet?
how you keeping track of your cost basis? P/L?
I'm working on a spreadsheet right now and it sucks.

After all there's only one more sleep 'til mar-ket-open.
