    I wish...stupid wedding. (So weird saying that)

    Per my worksheet I'm showing $1422.44 shipped from Toytec for the OME 886, Dakar, shocks, assembly, diff drop kit, stone shield and no spacers. Light Racing UCAs are $479.58 shipped, the ARB is around $1,300 with shipping and the light package is about $100. So that's roughly $3,300.

    Maybe in the near future, but as much as I want to right now, I just can't swing it. Plus I've got an identical spreadsheet showing $1,200 worth of work to the Subaru that I'd like to do. Plus, I've got the house now, and as they say, all the problems happen in the first year.

    First world problems, right?

    There are some better deals out there for sure, toytec is expensive. but anyway you look at it its damn expensive. Which probably doesn't even compare with a wedding.

    True, I just used the first site I saw as a baseline. I'm sure as time progresses, I'll probably pick up bits and pieces of the lift. I may even do the bumper first, because why not.

    I don't want to think about the wedding...I'm so not a fan in general...I rank it with going to the dentist.

    I know the feeling. Don't worry, it definitely gets better. Kendra and I did the race when we first moved in and knocked out a bunch of projects right off the bat. After that, you have some time to sit back and actually plan what you want to do next and somewhere in there you actually get to enjoy home ownership. End of the day, there's nothing better than sitting on your porch or deck and having a cold one at YOUR house :)

    I like the idea of the 255 but will take a better look at Cam's before I decide. I am gonna run these "fails" for the winter and really start the search in the spring

    Ouch. Evidently driving 50 miles in 4-6 inches of standing snow is hard on the MPG's. I filled up this morning on my way to work and I averaged 15.4 MPG's on the last tank. And that was with roughly 75 miles of normal driving at probably the 18 MPG's I've been averaging.

    Glad I got the wife 4wd finally. I'll be driving to Maine Thursday and Friday, and we're supposed to get more snow. Should make for a fun commute both days

    This head cold has me all loopy... I'm looking at tires online. Daydreaming about 275/70r18 DuraTracs.

    I had to go to 3 stores to find a gas container. Ended up finding one at Kmart . One pull on the cord and the snow blower fired right up. So happy I don't have to take it apart. I have way to much shit to do today .

    They still don't know what we're looking at for totals, either. If it warms up and the storm moves at all Northerly we could be looking at as much as two feet; if it stays cold it might be as little as six inches.
    What did she get for a 4x4?

    Is that the head cold, or the self-medicating for the head cold? :D

    Heh...the "out of gas" mechanical failure is always kind of embarrassing when you realize what the problem is...
