We're not settled by any means.

Thanks guys! I'm hoping to get my lift ordered and on the TB soon so I can get up higher in the mountains, and take some even more epic vista shots with the TB, MT is a very beautiful area, its almost a shame to drive my rig through some of it, almost. ;)

^ I'm jealous. The projectors are what get me the most. I can't seem to find the ones you guys used in the build thread.

When I was back in Statesboro for a day, I took a ride out to our old spot to see what I could do now that I have the lift on. Then I quickly realized I don't have a winch, nor a friend in the area to tow me out. Nope'd my way out of there pretty fast. However, I couldn't resist attempting a flex pic that I wasn't able to do pre-lift.

I'm happy with that for now. Not gonna mention the lack of grip my tires had on the sand though.. Just wait until this fall when I get back and put proper tires and equipment on; pics will be abundant.

You don't want much grip on sand, you want to just kinda float over it. Grip just diggs deep into sand, which is bad. My M/Ts on The beach a few months ago I could just feel my truck sinking. But with 33s aired down to 15psi I made it without much issue, just a sinking feel at takeoff.

Random. On the boat.

is the quotes around customer imply that it's your parents? I often refer to my parents as "roommates"...

No, it's my unofficial lawn business; therefore unofficial customer. I end up cutting a few lawns every summer via word of mouth. I've been cutting this particular guy's grass for about 3 years now.

I mow a few myself. Used to do a bunch but slowed down over the years as other parts of life took priority.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
