  1. Rookie spotlight for the ATL fans.
  2. OME keeps coming up but I don’t see any non lift options. Are there OME no lift options? My sr5 has full running boards that I think would look funny on a lifted truck especially with stock wheels and tire size. I know it’s weird but I don’t want any visually noticeable upgrades on this vehicle especially after what I went through with the insurance. Stock vehicles are worth 2x+ their upgraded counterparts (mine has been in AZ for 20 yrs so there’s 0 frame rust).
  3. This is the best place to ask for honest answers. I was saving my 4Runner for a full stock restore once I move out of the concrete jungle but I want to spend the extra insurance $ on her. I’m looking for new shocks/struts as that’s definitely something she needs. I don’t want a lift but leveling would be nice. A lot of what I’m reading leads to the Bilstein 5100 series. Anyone have experience good or bad? If I order an assembled kit online how much should I expect to pay to have them installed (who to hire?) or would it be better to find a local dealer? (Their website sucks for finding authorized installers).
  4. Sent an email and Ricks response was “treefiddy expired and borked your permissions”. my treefiddy hasn’t expired. What’s the deal dude?..
  5. You’d have to ask them. They wanted to salvage mine until they realized how much we’d cost them. i have full coverage on a car I never really drive.
  6. My gen 3 rides again. The insurance jerked me around for a few months and it ended up costing them dearly. I was very clear about the damage and researched the cost I even found a local shop (at the insurance request) and they towed the car to it. The first estimator, the shop, and I all agreed on what needed done. I did not want a branded tittle for a door lock or ignition switch (no other damage) so the insurance sent me a no adjuster claim link to fill out with pictures, liability, etc. I filled and submitted everything. The car sat there for nearly 2 months and no movement from insurance. The shop guy started calling me which made me the middle man… The insurance then totaled my car because the cost… They clearly didn’t listen. So i asked them to produce the rationale and that’s when clarity ensued. They used an estimate of cost for things that could “possibly” be required and then valued my car as a 2 wheel drive. They wanted to cut me a check for 4k$. I refused and hired an attorney/estimator. They ended up paying the shop $5500, me $4900, and my attorney fees just because they were too stupid to pay the $2000 to fix it. I also won on the branded title claim. They would have had pay me replacement cost ($14k) plus all the third parties when they could have just fixed the damn car… Btw. As of today, it’s now fixed and it cost me about $1200
  7. 24/25 oz can with some stuffing in the bottom should hold your 20oz can. I’ve never seen a 20 oz specific koozie.
  8. New episode is live now. There goes my Thursday night.
  9. Sounds like an amazing young man who’s wise beyond his years.
  10. Damn; I miss Austin. Poor one out for us out of state homies.
  11. I know there are laws about health but usually “effective immediately” would be followed with the “for health reasons” caveat. LA times must have updated their article.
  12. Effective immediately is code for I fucked up.
  13. Was watching Aussie road train videos then YT gave me rec’s for meat pies. maybe the best drunk food ever.
  14. I’m guessing he’s gonna keep the mustard sponsorship.
  15. That's a rather wide net you're casting there Einstein.
  16. someone in the Texas camp better step up with some NIL because there are teams who need QB's and he's provided some tape today.
  17. 6'5" with a laser rocket arm. Where have I heard that before?
