    Yeah there’s one pretty close to me. I’m ok with waiting a bit though. Gunna take the girls car up to Michigan next week to house hunt so it’s not a huge rush. Billy from brute force shipped my bumper through fastenal a year or so back and it was pretty cheap all things considered. Chris is the man though. He’s like 4 outa 4 now for saving the day lol.

    Agreed, not cheap at all. I wasn't sure how quickly or slowly he needed it.

    Yeah I’m at my parents place and we still have the little pickup and her subaru so I’m more worried about getting it cheap over getting it fast.

    If you'd traded it in for for that Dolphin/Chinook/Sunrader, you wouldn't have this issue :D Guy dropped the price back down the other day. Saw it again on FB Marketplace

    On a related note, check out this guy:

    My curb still has a skidmark on it. Freaked a lady out the other day when she came back from a HS event and was staring very intently on the diff fluid stain right next to her car :rofl:

    LOL. Yep. I could have saved so much money and hassle if I knew, in advance, that my shit was going to break.

    Fact is that if you wheel hard your going to break shit. And the harder you push it the more you will break. I just expect things to break and when they don't I start to get worried. lol

    I try to stay positive and use breaking my truck as an opportunity(excuse) to upgrade. The best part is I seem to never run out of things to break :cool:

    Well back on the road again (in a subaru). Headed up to Michigan to look at some houses! I got an axle housing on the way but I gotta wait till mid December for that so in the meantime I bought a 3.5” total chaos long travel kit with bypasses from another member as a Christmas present to myself :bananadance:

    well we've looked at like 20 houses in grand rapids yesterday and today and havnt found anything that fit the bill yet. we decided to start small and forgo our 300k dream home for a bit and get a cheap city house to renovate and live in for a year or two and then move out into the country. turns out first time house buying is a pain in the ass and not nearly as glamorous as it is on HGTV. tomorrow we are going to take a drive up to Muskegon and see what thats all about. anybody from around michigan have any input they can offer? Trying not to get discouraged here lol.
