    Nothing. But I couldn't put it in "off topic discussion" because I'm not 30 days old.

    straightened the hook on a turnbuckle, not a major break though. I got in a rush while I was strapping down that corner, fell out of the truck and I broke my damn foot in 2 places and tore a ligament LOL. Then I managed to break off the drain hose spigot when I tightened the strap. I can't wait for Friday when this is my front porch.

    Finally made it to snowbird mesa, gonna chill out here until the foot is healed or until the groceries run out whichever comes first. After this the plan is a 9 hour drive across Utah into telluride for some family time and some of granddads brisket.

    These were given to me and I have no use for them but I didn't have the heart to tell the guy no when he kept insisting I take them.
    Anyone want em?

    There is a pay it forward thread you might find better traction in. I'll try and find it.

    Few more days and I'll be at 30. I have a few things I'm offloading and a few things I need.

    Sounds like it’s going well for you other than the broken foot. Did you ever end up using a rear stabilizer bar to control your sway? I use a TRD knock off bar and it’s been working great and the cost is reasonable.

    So far it's been handling the weight much better than expected, I have some sumo springs but haven't installed them quite yet. The bar is definitely in the plan, but probably not until after this trip. What impressed me most was 14 mpg.

    Get the Sumos installed. They will make a big improvement with the sagging rear suspension. I also had blue Sumo Springs in my previous Tundra.

    Oh man.

    I'd be careful. 99% of the time "stuff" is just "stuff". Sometimes that "stuff" has irreplaceable sentimental value attached to it.

    I'm ok with pranks. But I'm also ok with getting hit in the mouth (or returning the favor, if need be). YMMV

    I wouldn't be at all mad if the ol boy came out and gave me the business. LOL
    I'd probably jack some jaws over a gnome.

    Would definitely suck to get blasted over a garden gnome, but it happens. Dude last week got blasted at subway for putting too much mayo on a sandwich. People are friggin nuts.

    Ya I'm thinking I should leave it at the end of the driveway and not risk going on the porch again. Probably should've had less beers and thought this through a lil better.
