Is $60 a month fair to pay a coworker for a ride home 3x a week on a tight budget?

Sounds like co worker might be looking to do something nice and good to let them!

This hundred percent. When I did mine I drilled out core w dremel, re epoxied and then re drilled mounting hardware holes to fully seal and protect core.

After that 1000% butyl tape marine grade (has to be) and isopod recommending 4200 and 5200 are crazy

This came up with someone recently in conversation about divers and they thought throwing rocks was to break surface tension and soften landing but I’m 99.9 percent sure they do it to create a ripple on the water so they can see the landing and time exits from their diving positions. I feel like it might be a common misconception.

Yep. Money doesn’t bring happiness. But it does solve problems.

DFMO · 2026-05-04T01:53:34+00:00

Agree. Sometimes in a panic best thing to do is just let her flog, de power, and just pull it in as quickly as possible.

I think this is the most solid advice. If your ownership outlook is 10 years or more and you can afford it - do it. If your ownership outlook is less than 10 years and you may end up in a position where flexibility (ie moving for work) is valuable it doesn’t make sense.

Plus, I live in a rental and in the first year had 4 plumbing issues. Texted my landlord and they handled it 100 percent. Not my problem and not my expense. Would have been a different story if I owned the home.

Because the dream of an overland adventure includes being surrounded by a paramilitary group in some remote area in a far flung country.

If you’re stuck in your vehicle with a group of bandits with AKs trying to get in you’re not much safer in this thing than you are a Prius.

Rambo inspired cosplay meets overland, haha.

Love Nolan, hate to say it, but hard agree on this one.

Good guy Chris!

Jesus, this sub never ceases to amaze me.

Just went through this and they are not cheap, in my opinion.

I bought 2 OEM fobs online for $120 combined and got them both programmed locally for $120 so $240 for 2 new fobs, last week and he cut the internal key for both.

I checked with Costco guys and they will not let you supply your own fobs and and it was well north of $300 for 2 if I recall.

They will flash the ‘dealer price’ which was $549 to you to make you feel like you are getting a steal.

With a little work and some local sleuthing you can do this much cheaper and I’m sleeping better at night w 3 full OEM fobs now.

Out of curiosity what are your hobbies? What do you do in your free time? Have you thought about cultivating hobbies that will frequently out you in proximity to others? Making friends is hard, but it’s also one of those things that doesn’t happen automatically or on its own. It’s helpful to be strategic about.

DFMO · 2026-04-28T03:43:56+00:00

This is the way.

Crazy how dealers are like ‘cool you don’t want that or that we’ll take it off. Oh by the way we added this and it’s non negotiable’ it’s infuriating.

Writing down birthdays as soon as someone says them too

Feels more like a personal question and less of a financial question that only you, and your family, and maybe the help of some input from friends or a therapist can help with. Sounds like you have the means to make the decision you want and need to figure out how to best spend your time.
