    Pulling a quick drive by, all I got time for.

    Already in to a shitload of overtime this week, and it's extending through the weekend. The group that is supposed to keep up with the shit we get audited over fucked up, and we are a week away and it's all wrong. Going to get shredded. Not my fault, not my problem, but I have to document each and every mistake before Monday when the senior leadership gets here. Just need to make sure I'm not the one under the bus. Got asked to pencil-whip a bunch of stuff (I never do) and now there's drama because I'm "uncooperative." Well, with the mistakes that they made I am pristine - as the shit hits the fan I am far, far upwind.

    And then there's the massive phishing attempt right now that's so large they're calling it whaling. We're targeted bad. That's keeping me busy, but so far so good.

    Take it easy y'all, and I should have some free time by Friday.

    Gotta pick me up some of that Ron Burgundy on the way home tomorrow...

    Damn... I'll have a drink for you... in 8 hours. Get you through the day. Sounds like you're doing all the right things though. CYA is always a safe play.

    So I'm getting about 600 for my bumper repair and I don't really want to give it to the dealer. So, guess I need to find a rear plate bumper!

    So many choices and options.... high clearance or not, swing out or not...

    Biggest question is to cut the bed sides or not... thoughts?

    Hey y'all,

    Throwing around the idea of buying a shit ton of rock lights. I can't guarantee a price yet but it'll be about 50% off what normal people charge. Pretty much our entire TTU Off Road Club is going in on a set, was wondering if y'all would be interested in some as well.

    I'm interested. Do you have any details on brand, model, and cost?

    Straight from China, but has a warranty. They're "RGB" lights like every place on Instagram advertises. I've emailed inquiring about a price, nothing is set yet. The more I purchase, the cheaper they get. We're doing roughly 30 sets right now, whatever I have left over i'm going to sell. Obviously I'd get y'all in at cost plus a taco or a couple beers or something.

    Depending on cost, I may jump on this... that way I'll have them for later. Save now for more mods later right?!?!

    I'm going to buy at least 10 sets (8 leds plus a bluetooth remote) over what people agree to 100%, in case anyone wants to grab some afterward.

    Yessir. No idea what pricing will be yet, haven't heard back yet on my inquiry.

    I also plan on buying ARB style lights from Alibaba. If both of these go well, one of my best friends has bought a few RTTs through them and its been flawless, and uses them on all his expo trailers he builds and sells. No one has ever complained, he's sold four plus his personal one.

    Edit: we're also going to be building expo trailers this summer if anyone wants one... lol...

    This was done with cheap Amazon LED strips. I want to rip all it off and start over with these, since my wiring job on the strips was sub par

    Edit: if these alibaba sets come out at a decent enough price, I'd be willing to trade a set out of my own pocket plus some beer and tacos for someone to wire up the new rock lights. Not a fan of wiring...
