    I have only ever made it through one of their videos and that was years ago. I just don't care enough to watch utoob trolls and tiktoks anymore.

    Under no circumstances will I say that each and every bit of content they put out is quality, but they do have some videos that are worth a watch. The towing tests going up the Ike gauntlet are good information and the all-wheel drive tests they do are decent and they also tend to be some of the first to show new models when they come out.

    Sooo I started writing a post on Tacomaworld that was supposed to be sort of a joke but ended up with me realizing I have a legitimate problem. I listed all the tire brands I have ran. Mickey Thompson, Cooper, Falken, Firestone, Goodyear, Kenda, Atturo, Bridgestone, Uniroyal, Dunlop, Continental, Michelin, Maxxis, Yokohama, Hankook, General, and Toyo. Several of those brands I even ran a couple different tires from them. :anonymous:

    No, closest I came to some Linglong round and rollys was the Atturos which were surprisingly good tires.

    So, yesterday I altered my plans to get my butt to the dealership and put a leg over the a new Super Tenere and an FJR1300. The FJR has a seat height that is something like 2-3 inches lower than the ST, but it was like straddling a couch. Same reach on it as the much taller ST. Both are balanced soooo well. Seating position with the pegs mid instead of back is 100% what would put me on the ST, though. I so want one.

    That said, it's going to have to wait. My buddy I'm visiting that I said was in a rough spot... well his rough spot just got worse. His wife got into an accident in their only vehicle tonight. She is okay and so were the people in the other vehicle. It was 2023 Ranger, front end was smashed, multiple airbags deployed. It'll be a helluva a thing if it's not totalled. Even if it's not, the UAW strike is killing parts availability.

    Not only is it their only vehicle, but he uses it to pull his boat as fishing a guide. It is vital to his livelihood. Needless to say he's stressed like crazy, so I'll be diverting funds to help him get another rig on the road, and its going to be a ridiculous fight to get him to let me help. He can't make a living without something to drive/tow his boat, so he won't like it, but he doesn't have much of a choice.

    Have him check with insurance, they might provide him a similar midsized truck.
    If not, maybe you could chip in on a rental? Don't give all your fun money away

    Thanks, guys. He might borrow a truck for a bit, but I'm happy to help get him into a new set of wheels. He's family, and this is no different than if one of my brothers were in the same situation.

    As for my fun money; I'd rather use it to help as a down payment that spend it on a rental. It will also get replenished in time.

    Exceptions to every rule. Ask around. You'll find plenty of supporting opinions for my title. :p

    Another trip to Costco; another preview into our reverse evolution back to primates.

    When did we forget our phones can actually be put to our ear to hear a conversation?

    Four year anniversary today. 42,933 miles and about ~13mpg. Still absolutely love the truck. Six more months and it will be a record for the longest I’ve kept a vehicle. Wife still doesn’t think I’ll keep it…

    Weird. I think 4 yrs is the longest I've ever had a vehicle.
    2 vehicles actually. The 2015 DCLB was the last one.
    Hopefully I'll have this 2021 for quite a while. I'll have to stop smashing it into shit.
    It's hard though. Everyone is so stupid and they're always in the way.

    The longest I had a vehicle would have been my '97 Ford escort I got in high school. I want to say I had it for roughly 4 years?
