    Kiddo got asked to play goalie for a local premier team that needed a goalie for a tournament in Hershey PA the weekend of August 12h.

    Gotta book the hotel room now for it.

    And so it begins... The tournaments and traveling even farther for him than what we did for the local travel team.

    My friend has a wrangler and lives in Telluride, CO. He says out there no jeeps wave at one another, since nearly ever 5th car is a jeep. It would be exhausting.

    Good morning CT. Happy almost Friday. :wave:

    Yesterday after work I removed the center console, radio surround and radio. Waiting for connectors and terminals so I can wire the switches the way I should've done it in the first place.

    I think this weekend I’m going to sound deaden underneath the center console while I have it out. When I do the rest of the floor, I won’t have to pull the entire carpet.

    I don’t know what’s worse. A customer diagnosing their own car or the service writer.

    Service writer by far. Not their place or job. Only makes you look bad, especially if what you say the problem is costs more than the service writer.

    I’d throw that prick under the bus quick or call him out and make him look silly depending on mood and circumstances

    100% a stupid question bc I'm Sure the answer is yes, but is anyone from off-road alliance in this thread? I'm sure they are in the new England thread. They have a few of the rsi smart caps in stock it looks like. Debating and kicking around some ideas so when I actually take delivery of the truck I can hit the ground running.

    "Hi, I'm new here. Please advise."

    Happy Friday.
    Started the wiring harness last night. I just need to see where I want the connectors to wind up if I need to remove the panels.
    I hope to have them done by tomorrow, do the sound deadening and wash the truck. Good thing this weekend is supposed to be nice.
