    Who's upgrading their rig or planning a trip with their tax return?

    What's a Tax Return? Every year I pay. Every year I tell my Tax Guy he sucks at his job. Every year we go back. :tongueclosed:

The Ranger saw the VA ID in my wallet and started the paperwork. She handed it to me and told me what I need to add and where to sign...

    How would you spend $750

    1/2 towards staying on top of maintenance needs (trans cooler comes to mind) 1/2 towards fuel (my V8 is always hungry). If there was anything left... maybe some new soft shackles.

    Good catch... I was an enlisted puke. The quote is from my old SF Mentor and Team Warrant. Hell of a leader and still a great presence in my life. We’ll definitely have to make time to talk.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Its my OCD. My wife always laughs at the fact I sketch out what's in my head, and tape it to my workbench... and the finished product never looks the same. I tell her the scribble is my conceptual vision. The completed project is my brilliance. Ha-ha!

    Overlanding Raptor Build

    Sweet Rig! I seriously like your bumper & winch. I went with Eibachs at Mid Perch and Deaver HD +3 and the ass is still hangs slightly (Pre-Runner style). Then again I do have the cap & swing out tire carrier back there. Me and my Gen1 are down the 15 from you in San Diego. Let me know if you...

    Thanks for the advice. I have a few options for Tech coming up. To be honest, I haven't even looked to deep into the prep for General. As much as I have kicked that can down the road, I do consider an absolutely MUST do.

    I like this one best. I've had a Leer and Snug in the past, but this time around I got what I paid for. Solid as a rock. Only the normal small leaks one should expect. And the Windoors are fantastic.
