Well just noticed my. Credit card has a payment option to pay off large payments over 2 yes. Needless to say, I will be getting a few extra things for the Jeep now, lower cortrol arms, my front bumper hoop, shocks and steering stabilizer plus lift bumper ends and wheel spacers.
Go, go, go!

Meaty!! Really like the wheels and color.
Thanks! I toyed with color for a bit but figured the OD Green was fitting for the color on my X and being prior service ; )
We have the same tires, diff size of course, on our 4runner and love them so far.

it sure is, leaves more money for buying more parts...that you can install and save money for buying even more parts....that you can install and save more money.....and so on and so on....
Hmmm, yes, it’s a constant merry go round, of pm and maintenance. But it’s all good, with 318,000 miles. I’ve no problem headed to Alaska or deep into Baja. And, total cost of vehicle plus maintenance is still well under $ 20,000..

Friend of a friend got his Tacoma stuck in sand outside Caprock Canyon SP, Quitaque, Texas. Nearest tow truck was 1.5 hours away in Amarillo and quoted him $1,000 to get him out. Friend called me knowing I was home and said he will pay you $500 to get him. 3 hours round trip. No problem. Call him, get GPS coordinates and head out. Got about 20 mins away... local farmer found him and pulled him out with his tractor. A tank of gas and 2.5 hours lost. He was supposed to meet me at my wifes brewery to "take care of me". Never showed.

scumbag douche nozzle ; a call like that for a rescue should always be after every other option is exhausted. Thats the kind of people that would deploy their PLB for a tummy ache. I'm willing to bet you'd have done it for gas money and a bit of your time and not 500.

I'm going to assume that this friend of a friend is not an OB member. And if they are they should have their membership revoked. I'm the type of person that would never feel right doing that to someone, especially if I knew they went out of their way to try and help me. It would weigh on me and I would have to make an attempt to right the situation.
