    I should have been working within an hour. But red tape and other BS turn it into 1+ days.

    When I had my lift on, I lost around 100kms per tank and I was running close to stock tires, 265/70/17 p rated Bridgestone revos. Just before I took the lift off I was running the stock size tires but winter rated and I was just as bad. It's amazing how a small lift can burn that much more fuel

    It seemed a little nuts...buying the equipment + whatever permits and special permissions they need + staffing...just didn't make sense.

    I'm a girl...I'm allowed to be sensitive. But I didn't really take too many pictures. Hiked into a series of waterfalls but it was all iced over

    Well, enjoy your downtime while you can.

    the equipment didn't seem logical to me. how many drones would they lose due to idiots with bats and guns hunting them.

    That job you were looking at in Kitchener/Waterloo was that for the company that makes military vehicles/bulletproof materials? Get them to make a bullet proof Timmy's delivery service lol. We can make millions and I could expand our business even more lol :spy:

    I like it, just can't run them at anything above 38psi. My wife complained too much about how rough the ome lift was and now she only complains a little about the ride. Only really notice the stiffness on really bumpy roads but I no longer have to hold on for dear life if I hit washboard roads at speed lol
    Yep

    and what happens if one gets tangled up in some powerlines? or loses control and crashes onto a busy road?
    that too :laugh: or people not knowing what it is and thinking we're under attack?

    Yes but people like you would support a bootlegging business. Just imagine how happy you would be if you could order a box of wine dropped to you anywhere in North America lol

    We could be rich just from you :)
