    She said it was ok.

    That’s about the most I could hope for. Bourbon time now!

    Well of course she couldn't let on to how sexy it looks, you might get the idea that she thinks it was money well spent.

    Exactly! Asian women loathe spending money. Even when it’s money well spent.

    That being said, she’s worth having around.

    Plenty! I was looking at the structure of the building and thinking about the best way to winch it out in. They scooped it out with a Lull, though.

    You're correct. This time of year can be so sloppy at these types of jobsites, though it. I nearly got stuck several times.

    Oooohh, bourbon!

    With all of the spending the past couple of months, in the back of my mind I kept thinking: don't spread things too thin in case something happens around here...bought a water softener on Sat., tenant side softener took a dump, luckily there are still reserves...guess I'll be doing an install this coming weekend after the plumber redoes the connections for the new softener.

    Could be worse. In '21, I had to have 2 furnaces and an air conditioner replaced, '20 was water heaters (did myself). After the plumbing is stubbed up, the install shouldn't take much more than an hour or hour and a half.

    I’d offer to help if you weren’t a gazillion miles away.
    Plumbing sure ain’t rocket surgery, it’s child’s play to sweat a joint. It’s almost as idiot proof as electrical work!

    Thank you :D

    Got it for a smoking deal about 3 years ago. Also have the solid covers on it currently because of the cold plus I can't really see through the windows anyway because of the 35 inch tire hanging in the back :anonymous:

    How do you even fit those tires on it? Damn, I’m jealous!

    Well luckily there's no cutting required on the back. And I just have the CMC done, pinch welds hammered and the back part of the fender trimmed a bit still rubs like a mother when I'm wheeling. Think I'm gonna cut the fenders this summer probably

    Standard 3 inch. OME shocks all around with 886 coils and All-Pro Expo leafs, don't buy them, the rear end leans pretty good and they're not side specific. With what I payed for them I should've spent the extra couple hundred and got the stage 3 Deavers

    I’m in no rush anyways. New topper, serpentine tensioner, front brakes, tires and a tooth. No $$$$ left for a lift this year

    I will say OME is a very good budget friendly (ish) kit and it can take a hell of a beating. Used to have a hard shell but I sold it when I ordered the rear bumper. Traded the weight and I also missed the use of my bed. I've been struggling to save up for gears for the past couple of years and so far I have $0 saved for it :anonymous:
