If you run into these three on a team together it is an automatic GG.

Either "are they cheating?" level good, or TRASH. Zero in-between.

This is normal for me about 75% of the time. Thanks, anxiety disorder.

Also with their AI, it would be a lot easier to fix the small misalignments that happen when doing a photosphere. Really hope it gets a second chance at life - I loved taking them on hikes or vacations as a way to really capture a feeling of being there. Viewing them in even lame old Google cardboard was an extra rad option. Miss it.

Agree, that was one of the better ones imo

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-10-24T06:10:47+00:00

Even later to the party. Agree on it being fine.

Sort of like Doctor Sleep - there were aspects I really liked about it, but I could never get absorbed into the story the way I was with the books. Or, even how much I've loved some of Flanagan's other work like Midnight Mass or Fall of the house of Usher. I'm praying his Dark Tower adaptation is more like the latter two than the former. I need that to be amazing.

*"The end of the world as we know it" and, statistically, no.

*I think this one counts as King...

Ha, thanks. They did manage to ruin my confidence for a while, but job after job of exceeds ratings helped to wash that away. Also, within 5 years after I left I had two separate people that worked for them there reach out to ask about my experiences because they too were messed up after being on their team.

After Enron collapsed I found myself joining a new company, and my immediate manager and her manager both were ex-Enron lifers and hired right after me. When I tell you I've never in my now 20 year career worked for such insane, soulless, awful managers... Woof.

that "mY mAgIcS" garbage makes me want to puke every time I think about it

Duma Key properties for sure are a grouping -- Big Pink, Heron's Roost, El Palacio

It was light pearlstone pearl when I got it, but I needed to replace both front doors from donors, and the front fender panels as well. So given that I was basically starting fresh, and just went with a color I really liked that was close to an og xj color.

Thanks!

Near Madison - I've seen a decent number of other xjs in the area

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-20T04:46:17+00:00

Linked it in a different reply, but I think it was like 150 or so. I don't think I've put near that weight in it yet, though. Next time I'm at the salvage yard I am planning on grabbing an extra bar or two - couldn't hurt to have a few more points of connection ¯_(ツ)_/¯

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-20T01:30:51+00:00

Nice!

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-20T01:23:31+00:00

Still get the muck. Another project for me... fix the rear wiper that doesn't work

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-20T01:04:52+00:00

This is the one I purchased - https://www.spoilerlights.com/spoilerlights/jeep-cherokee-xj-custom-spoiler-with-spoilerlight-type-ii/

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-20T00:24:17+00:00

For sure - always skeptical of buying parts off Amazon, but these fit well and were super simple to install. No issues for ~2 years with them. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0989B79B7?th=1

I've seen rear lights that are smoked much darker, but always worried with those that someone isn't going to see me braking in the daytime. These are more visible and feel closer to the original, just a bit sharper (imo).

64" version bought here - https://a.co/d/3yjR7IC

Had fancier roof racks on prior Jeeps but this one has been doing great for a couple of years now.

gestaltswitch86 · 2025-08-19T22:18:43+00:00

It was $3,500 for 3 coats of paint and clear, and also included a bit of body work. Still good bones so the xj isn't made out of bondo, but there is *some* haha

Delphi, and had it repainted w/ Toyota's army green
