    They need to just suck it up and keep it moving. Let kids keep going to school. They're still wearing masks. They're not getting sick from each other at school. It's happening outside of school.

    Completely tore my living room/gaming area apart and rearranged everything.
    Got most of it done. Ordered some misc. cables that should be here this week.

    Buying a new TV and TV stand next-next week when I get paid. Looking at a 55" Samsung (had a Vizio, will not buy another one).

    Get the Diode dynamic Ssc pods. I got them when they first came out and helped beta test the mounting brackets for 2010 bumpers. Amazing lights and they have a labor day sale 15% off. I got the sport models because they are plenty bright for my area but arent crazy bright for around town. I love how wide the beam is, it makes it a lot easier to see side streets when you are turning.

    Can't contain my excitement anymore... here it is! After three 4Runners I joined the dark side and bought a Jeep. I know deep in my heart that I'll end up back in a 4R in the next few years but the Jeep is an experience I needed to have since growing up around my dad's YJ Wrangler is why I'm in this crazy hobby/profession in the first place. Who knows, maybe I'll find a boatload of extra money or win the lottery and be able to keep it and just add a 4Runner to the stable... dreaming big here, obviously. Anyways, the new-to-me Jeep is a 2012 Wrangler Sport that's been fairly extensively modified (Rubicon axles w/lockers, Mopar suspension, AEV wheels, 285/70/17 KM2, quick-disco sway bar links, Expedition One front bumper w/Superwinch, etc etc etc). Should be good fun on the trails in the Northeast!

    Congrats dude! I'm constantly thinking about just picking up a beater xj for the super crawly stuff that I don't feel comfortable taking the taco through but that's still far off

    Thanks Matt! And XJs are still killer all these years later. Find a 4WD 2-door with a manual and you can undoubtedly sell it for what you paid or likely more as they become more and more rare.

    Question to those of you with rain guards: i picked up some avs in channels used and the adhesive is barely holding on, can I use 3m double sided auto tape or is that stuff way overkill? And if so what would you recommend?
