    I flipped my calendar over to March today. I explained the photos to my wife.

    She ask if Dean was stuck.

    I replied, "We don't get stuck".:rofl:

    We don't get stuck, we just intentionally test our recovery gear and develop new skills...right?

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Considering we had a bulletin and a briefing with this video and reminder to not fall for internet shenanigans (ran into this a few years ago with people being dumb on the internet and then trying to warranty claim broken stuff... Toyota caught on and has eyes everywhere watching this kind of crap)

    But you're right. I'm trained and paid to fix this stuff, and the amount of dumb things people do and try to blame it on us or Toyota.... Is astounding.

    To be fair, all manufacturers have to deal with this sort of nonsense.

    Yup. And not been on street tires.

    Two ways to go with this:

    1) With those tires? What a difference a year makes!:boink::spending::bananadance:
    2) Tell that to Jason @Supr4Lo :rofl:

    Haha! I'll have to flip mine after work so I understand this.

    But, you're correct!

    We don't get "stuck..."

    We get "hung up."

    I am not sure which way to go with this. I have been stuck-usually with a long walk attached. I am often inconvenienced and require more time than i planned on. Stuck is really just a frame of mind. My wife sees it as stuck, and I see it as fun... Once 4wheel is engaged all bets are off.

    This thing is fuckin' NICE! I highly recommend NOT driving one unless you're seriously thinking about buying it. The midrange torque is fantastic!

    Now I need to get out of here before I end up buying it. :goingcrazy:

    I don't like the shift knob. Looks as uncomfortable as the 'Pro' knob that everyone ooos and ahhs over.

    I agree with the hive mind. You should totally do it. Buy two of them if you've got the spare coin. Install 35's and YOLO that mofo. Start a YouTube channel first so you can recoup some costs from the ad revenue and sponsorships.
