    Haha good luck. It's also dependent on which direction the wind is blowing which is hit or miss. If it's coming from the ocean side, no bugs. If it's coming from the bay side, prepare to get destroyed.

    I figured the wind has a huge part in it. I used to go to broadkill beach and the bugs were terrible if the wind blue the wrong way lol

    Def Coopers. My RTX and my ST Maxx are amazing tires.

    I have Wet Okoles and they definitely retain heat if you park in the sun.

    Dependa ...cuz Randy is now a dependent spouse of a service member, which have gained the derogatory term "dependapotomus" due to usually being overweight jabba the hut looking creatures, which has now become a sort of running joke.

    One of my best friends got his live in girlfriend a dog before he deployed to the Stan. Named it Jodie, and he said the looks he'd get when he was on the phone was hilarious. :rofl:

    "So how's Jodie?"
    "Who's a good boy, Jodie?"

    Gone...

    Needs a third row...

    We are both burnt out, and turns out we really can't afford a new vehicle right now. Going to wait until next year to see if we can get rid of some of our monthly payments that are nickel and diming us each month currently.

    Working on it.

    That will help cover a chunk of the T4.

    The next door neighbor's bro in law will likely end up buying them. We are thinking somewhere along the lines of $2250 a piece plus $1250 for the trailer if he wants the whole kit and caboodle.

    @EatSleepTacos what are your thoughts on plasma cutters ? I had one 20 years ago that would barely cut sheet metal. They have come along way and it was very impressive seeing one cut out the rivets for my shackle flip. You researched any ? I was thinking of getting a Harbor Freight special.

    I've done limited research but not too much. I have used the harbor freight one at @Casper66 house and I was impressed. That thing would rip right through whatever we were cutting. I've also used the one at @Mobtown Offroad shop but don't know what kind it is. That one is also fun to use. I would like one at some point. I just need to get a compressor first.

    I have a Hypertherm Powermax 45 for our portable unit and then a 65 runs the table. Requires a big freaking compressor.
