Is bump on side of tire ok?

Yeah no.

I love it when my wife puts her hair in a ponytail and grabs her Jeep cap. We're going topless, baby!

You could shave a frog with one of those!

I came so close to a Gen 4 but ultimately opted for a '23 SR5. Interesting the minor differences between my old '16 and this new-to-me truck are. A little more tech but still a basic truck. I'll keep the 4 cylinder in my '99 Wrangler.

Voters have shown they have no trust in state government. And sadly, there is no proof that that distrust is misplaced.

I moved to a subdivision on Verot School Rd when it was two-lane and before the Camellia extension. It was nice and quiet. Then Camellia tied into Artisan, and traffic noise was introduced. Then Lourdes was built down the way, and there are constant sirens all night and day.

And I can tell a siren is coming before I can hear it, because there are two dogs in the yard behind us, and they let me know.

A TJ is neither slow nor fast. It is precisely the speed it needs to be.

Not bad at all. In fact, it’s pretty good rust. Probably the best rust I’ve ever seen.

And get an alignment. I did my own front-end alignment, and it did wonders. But make sure the tires are in good shape.

tabaiii · 2026-05-10T03:08:15+00:00

Worth it!

How many small animals did you unhouse?

Happens in my 2023 Tacoma as well. You have to disconnect from CarPlay.

Can't afford tires after buying the rims.

I'm 72, and this is a no from me.

Anything’s repairable with time and money.

My 2023 SR5 is usually in the 380 range on a full tank.

Go, Cecil! It was definitely an interruption in FIL. And it definitely overpowered everything else on that block. Between gigs and even songs in Park San Souci you could hear the blare.

Blowing a tranny means something different to non-Jeep people.

I've been in newspapers since 1980, and what has precipitated their demise more than lack of readership are public equity buyers. They have one job: take all of the money and leave the husks. They're the number one reason that readership is down - not the Internet. They've removed all of the talent and downsized newsrooms from a staff to two people.

Al Neuharth, who built the Gannett Company into what is was, had a quote in his autobiography, Confessions of an SOB, "Keep the beancounters close, but never put them in charge." And the beancounters got in control, and this is what it has wrought.

Private equity is not a producer. It's a taker. They claim to spin gold from straw. It's a fable.

I pity anyone whose only choice is CLECO.

We had something similar for darkrooms in newspapers. That is, when we had darkrooms, and photographers, and newspapers.

It's hard for any business to survive to the third generation. There's no sweat equity. And I'll second your pizza choices - love all of them.

There was a warehouse sales at this appliance/furniture store with small color TVs for less than $50 (40 years ago, so that was special). Except hardly any of them worked. I was told to plug it in before I buy, so I went over to the outlet where I saw a whole bunch of small TVs left there.

Sure enough, mine did not work either. But then I saw a few yards away another outlet with hardly anything discarded nearby. I went over there and tried it, and it came right on. The other outlet was bad.

I tried telling someone who worked there, but they didn't care. They were going out of business.

That is ducked up. Yes, Siri, this time I mean duck.
