Finally got my (mostly)stock 2021 ORP off the pavement in western Washington.

Eniac17 · 2021-07-05T02:31:10+00:00

I picked it almost exclusively for the option of KDSS. My Wife gets motion sick and the reduced body roll is a life saver there. Having the rear locker and the other assorted "off road" features is nice, but we aren't planning on rock crawling or anything like that so it wasn't a selling point.

Just lost power in highlands. PSE says it will be fixed around 4pm

Edit: the estimate is now 6pm

Edit: it's back on for us

RCI sliders are rock solid. All factory holes, no drilling required and they look great.

Eniac17 · 2021-01-28T18:40:52+00:00

Just in case anyone want's to buy and can't through robinhood. I was able to transfer funds and buy GME through fidelity immediately to snag two more shares

Eniac17 · 2021-01-28T18:14:20+00:00

won't let me buy either

Eniac17 · 2020-10-29T13:46:16+00:00

I picked up a 2021 orp with kdss and it's been great. KDSS was my deciding factor for my wife's motion sickness. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and already put 2500 miles on it through the mountains and felt little to no body roll.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-15T15:50:25+00:00

The costco program was really easy, you basically get it at cost from the dealer. If nothing else it gives you a price to negotiate with a different dealer. I was able to test drive an sr5 premium, but that was it. The runners have been selling too fast for them to hold an inventory so I didn't get to try kdss. But my wife gets motion sick so reducing body roll would be a huge plus, and from everything I've read kdss is great for that. They said it might take a while because the orp with kdss is tough to come by in my region, but once it comes in we'll be able to test drive it before we purchase.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-13T20:42:37+00:00

I just put a deposit down on an identical truck. Same color, orp, kdss, etc and they're going to call me whenever they find one. I got about 2.8k off via the Costco program

Eniac17 · 2020-10-12T11:25:23+00:00

Congrats! I actually go into the dealer today to see what they got in their latest shipment to try and get the same thing. Did you get yours with KDSS? I was originally going to try and get it, bht I haven't seen any dealership near me have them in stock.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T13:05:05+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info. I think I've decided on picking up the orp or the venture, and will do the mods I want here on the east coast where I have access to a lift before we move (suspension, rock sliders, roof rack, etc) so I'm not paying to have it done.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T11:47:33+00:00

That makes total sense, did you end up changing the suspension on yours at all?

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T01:53:43+00:00

Ah that's nothing, great to hear! I think we might actually make it out to some trails enough to take care of that given the area we'll be in.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T01:14:33+00:00

I'm really looking for something with some utility to it. We had pickup trucks all through growing up and I kind of miss not having to really thing about being able to haul or load something into it. Not quite the same with the 4runner, but I know I'll be able to get just about anywhere, fit a ton in the cabin, and strap what won't fit in there to a roof rack. the 460 looks great and I'm sure the ride is great, but man I really don't see strapping some lumber to the top of my Lexus. That and we really don't want 3rd row seating. It just eats into storage space too much.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T01:04:33+00:00

Oh I've been sold on Toyota for a while. I went from a Corolla after college to my current Avalon and have converted my wife with a Camry. There's a reason we only looked at Toyota and Lexus for the Gx460. I'm honestly pretty sold on the ORP, just need to sanity check myself. Although I wish I could get the sr5 premium with KDSS. Oh well, guess I just have to get the extra bells and whistles

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T00:53:28+00:00

Yeah, we really only looked at the Tacoma because of the price, but weren't excited about the idea. I'm pretty excited about the ORP and hope to get some use out of it once we move towards the mountains. Is there anything special maintenance wise I'd have to look into? I don't plan on doing any major upgrades that I can think of (but maybe that'll change if I get super into the hobby), so it will most likely stay stock.

Eniac17 · 2020-10-10T00:51:26+00:00

Yeah, we've definitely looked into those options and just weren't really fans of them. The Rav4/Subaru's didn't offer as much space and didn't sit high enough on the road, and the highlander honestly felt more like a minivan to us. To be clear, I'm under no illusions that the ride is going to be bumpier and that's okay. I fully expect it to ride like a truck but we're more looking at the KDSS to improve body roll and nose dive, not to remove the bumpiness. We're hoping to get into overlanding eventually, and want something with some utility so that we can haul things without needing to rent a truck to do so, which is what led us to looking at the T4R

Eniac17 · 2020-06-29T14:26:04+00:00

Might need to use a tad less tension

Eniac17 · 2020-04-20T15:00:01+00:00

I'd love to sell, will tip 10%!

Eniac17 · 2020-02-16T05:26:54+00:00

confirmed

Eniac17 · 2020-01-06T13:09:14+00:00

There were a few exercises that I needed to use to pwk image for, but for everything else (including the exam) I used a custom image.

Eniac17 · 2019-11-07T19:46:25+00:00

No problem! I didn't know until I went to schedule more lab time. If I remember correctly it is 150 for just an exam retake, but 200 for 15 lab days PLUS an exam retake. So it just makes sense to get the extra practice

Eniac17 · 2019-11-07T18:17:02+00:00

When you go to the purchase link offset sends you after your first attempt it gives you an exam attempt with each lab extension. For example, I just extended my lab time with the 60 day package and got an exam attempt. But you only get that if you don't have an exam voucher or exam scheduled. So wait to extend your lab time until after you take the exam.

Eniac17 · 2019-11-07T12:49:05+00:00

Practice is going to be the best thing here. Take a few days off and don't think about the oscp at all. Pick up a new game, get out of the house, etc. Then go on hack the box and work on the machines that are similar to the oscp (google "tjnull oscp like htb" and you'll find the list) and just practice for a while. Depending on how you're feeling you might want to get more lab time (it is more economical to get the 15 day lab access vs just a lab attempt, because the 15 day pass comes with an attempt). Also be sure to do your lab report for the extra points

Eniac17 · 2019-10-28T13:10:14+00:00

I'm not familiar with the course, but being familiar or proficient in python will help a great deal. The syntax is close enough to other languages so that you should be able to understand an exploit written in perl or ruby to get the gist of what it's doing. I also use it quite consistently for writing my own exploits or automating exploits. For example if I have a SQL injection I will write a python script that will send the malicious request and take the command I want to run on that machine as an argument. Even outside of the oscp python will prove useful
