    True story. I have walked around secured facilities with a hi-vis vest, tape measure and notepad, and everyone is very accommodating.

    I recall seeing a youtube series or something of two guys in vests and carrying a ladder to get into sports events for free.

    Just gotta have that "I'm supposed to be here" attitude.

    Absolutely. Regearing to the proper ratio is more important than most people realize. Especially for automatic trucks, shift points are changed when going to larger tires and not changing gears, which usually causes increased heat in the transmission. I’m interested to see how this plays out with the 4g Tacomas and their new 8 speed transmissions. They come with 3.58:1 differential gearing. When going to a 37” tire 4.30:1 gears are the closest to “factory” that a standard gear ratio can get. Meaning at 2500rpm in any given gear you’re going almost the same speed as you would be with factory tires and gears. Which is a big change from previous generations being that 4.30:1 was, and is still in 4g trucks, a factory ratio for manual trucks

    About to interview my 4th accountant for this year. This time I'm going with someone who keeps 9-5 hours and not doing this on the side while chasing their kids around. I get it, kids come first, but do what I'm paying you to do, and do it on time.
    In my next life, I will be the accountant. Those fuckers make bank.
