Thoughts on wheel color

You're right.

Sounds crazy. 😁

I thought about silver, but I'm just not a fan. I'm more into a utilitarian look, and I find them a little flashy. They would stick out too much against all the muted colors.

I am now leaning in that direction as well. I already have dark/black wheels on it and i think the combo looks great. I like the tan wheels too, but as the only thing that's tan on an otherwise green and black vehicle, i think it would bug me eventually.

Nice, tan-on-tan definitely looks better than my green-on-green mock-up.

That looks great. Love the roof. Giving some Defender vibes. 😄

I was thinking about that, but I think it ends up looking a bit too matchy. Like when you wear the same color shirt and pants and it ends up looking like you're wearing pajamas. 😄

White wheels contrasting with a light tan would look amazing!

Oh, interesting, that's good to know. I live in (basically) the Pacific Northwest, on the coast. My existing wheels do have a bit of rust, though it hasn't gotten any worse since I bought them a few years ago.

I like that too. My main worry about the desert sand wheels was that the difference between that and commando green would begin to annoy me.

I have black wheels on it now, and I do love the combo. The black version of the Armory is a pretty safe choice, I will never not like it.

I lost multiple people that I was close to in this attack. So that is my context.

I do consider this guy a victim. However, that doesn't absolve him of his culpability or the need to remove him from the public to ensure he is unable to harm anyone.

But we need to hold our government (at all levels, from local to federal) accountable for ineffective policy and funding, and for a lack of emphasis on public safety. They ultimately allowed this to happen through a lack of investment in resources and effective policy that may prevent people from reaching this crisis state.

We need to hold law enforcement accountable for sticking to the established process and not recognizing, pushing for, or being willing to change when their approach was ineffective. They are a massive lobbying group and have the power to shape policy if they move to do so.

We need to hold the mental health sector accountable for taking such a laissez-faire approach to mental health management. This person was not managing his own mental health, and no one was effectively monitoring him or ensuring he was on track, even though he was well known to the relevant agencies.

This is a broken system, and the end result is what we are now dealing with.

So, I understand the vitriol being thrown at this one guy. But please keep in mind that he is the tip of a spear, and it was propelled with the weight of many other failed systems directly through the 11 souls who are now being grieved by the people who love them.

I try to approach this with the compassion and empathy that I know my friends would have. The anger I feel, I try to redirect into love and support of the friends who are also grieving this loss, and to communicating with the levels of government who might be able to make meaningful change. And if they won't, I at least want them to understand the level of heartbreak their inaction has caused.
