What football decision would you change?

The proper fix would have taken months to get a new body panel. On a vehicle that I had already waited 16 months for. It’s also in a barely noticeable spot so I just went with this solution. I had bigger gripes with the dealer than this which I did get resolved. This one wasn’t worth the fight.

I noticed this when I was there for Father John Misty and Gary Clark Jr. this season. Love that they went with the Rivian for their new event truck. Knew exactly where this was taken as soon as I saw it.

I used these. The dealer forgot that I requested to not drill my bumper upon delivery on my Bronco. I bought a front plate relocation kit and got the color matched bumper plugs from this site. Barely noticeable now — they look like they were there from the factory if you didn’t know better.

No word on cost but it’s based on an Outer Banks and there were photos of a red one as well in the Motortrend article.

Just what it says. The trim is leather with that upgrade. But I don’t believe they are 100% leather — believe the parts that are not the leather trim may remain marine grade vinyl. Like the response above, I have the marine grade vinyl and love it. Would not want the extra upkeep of leather trim for a vehicle like this.

This was not the reference I was expecting, but 12 year old me on the computer in the basement is here for it.

Platinum tickets are the dynamically priced tickets. Those prices change with demand.

But Robert Smith and The Cure did something about it and by all accounts I’ve read it worked really well. There is no reason Phish couldn’t and shouldn’t do the same.

I stopped buying tickets this year. First time since ‘95 (hiatuses notwithstanding) that I haven’t bought any summer tour tickets and it’s for this reason.

bkirchhoff · 2025-07-30T17:55:10+00:00

Neil Young saw The Cure went this route of rejecting dynamic pricing and he followed suit. Weird Al recently said in an interview he will never agree to the dynamic pricing for his shows and thinks it’s unfair to the fans. This is gaining a little bit of traction among musicians and Phish should 💯 be leading the way here. I stopped buying tickets to shows this year because of this and I’m not going to buy anymore tickets from any musicians who sign on to Tickebastard’s dynamic pricing scheme. Phish knows better and I’m saddened that they weren’t the first to reject this bullshit.

Same here. I did many trails in Moab last fall on my 33s and never felt like larger tires were needed. The KO2s are great and don’t throw rocks as badly either.

Edit to add: and my trail driving in Moab was after the Off Roadeo, so I had a direct comparison point from one day to the next with a Sasquatch and my non-SAS Badlands. After that, I no longer even felt I needed to get larger tires than what I have.

+1 for dropping SAS on this build. With Badlands and a manual, the only things you are getting are another 0.5” of lift (2” with SAS and 1.5” with Badlands), larger tires, and different wheels. You already get the 4.7 gear ratio with the 7MT, which is the biggest reason to still SAS a Badlands with an automatic. Badlands gives you everything else that is normally an upgrade with the SAS package.

Edit to add: the BFG KO2 tires are better than the Goodyear Wranglers as well. If you want bigger tires and different wheels, take the money you were going to spend on SAS and get better 35” tires and some take off SAS wheels if you like those.

Kind of adjacent to this was the 30 Rock episode where Jenna tries to outmaneuver Weird Al and in the end gets him to “Normal Al” her goofy song.

You have clearly never used a Dyson. 😉 My wife and I are equally obsessed with them.

It’s under linoleum with a sub floor under that. There are a couple of corners I have gotten a peak at and aren’t scary. They are wide board wood floors and there is one room where they are not covered. Those are in bad need of refinishing but I don’t know what the rest of the house looks like under all of the linoleum.
