Don't forget about the stand-up mixer that you can never find the parts to.
Once a year my wife pulls that thing out to make molasses cookies and is always missing the attachments. Like clockwork, every.damn.time. The struggle is real.

300K for 2-3 hours of water time? Not sure that is a winning combo
Simple fix, buy 3!

This. I got mine from following social media. Was following a couple Twitter (Wario64 is one) people and on Facebook “Austin Gamers.” The later posted a drop and five minutes later I grabbed one at GameStop. Also, it was weird…but I chose their warranty and it let me add to cart. It didn’t with it unchecked…DGAF if it was intentional for extra $. I was tired of playing the fill in your info game as I watched them go OOS every other time.
The trick there is to check it and then uncheck it. It will still allow you to add to cart. At least that was my experience.

Sooon....
The graphene aluminum-ion battery cells from the Brisbane-based Graphene Manufacturing Group (GMG) are claimed to charge up to 60 times faster than the best lithium-ion cells and hold three time the energy of the best aluminum-based cells.
They are also safer, with no upper Ampere limit to cause spontaneous overheating, more sustainable and easier to recycle, thanks to their stable base materials. Testing also shows the coin-cell validation batteries also last three times longer than lithium-ion versions.
GMG plans to bring graphene aluminum-ion coin cells to market late this year or early next year, with automotive pouch cells planned to roll out in early 2024.

Gamestop is where I got my PS5. It was a bundle, but I wanted another controller and all the games in the bundle so it wasn't a big deal to just get everything at once. Aside from all the anti bot capcha's, it was painless. I made sure to set everything up ahead of time and have all my info ready to go. From order to arrival was 5 days.

After my day died when I was 17, I ate bars like candy. It took me basically dying to get off the shit. Goddamn this is so damn sad.

How hard and time consuming is it to learn to sale? Because I love sailing, but really have only done the tiny sailboats at a lake. It is something I would love to learn. Nothing like sailing and not hearing anything but the wind and waves.
My favorite is when you are motoring out of a harbor listening to the little yanmar diesel rattle the shit out of everything, then you hoist the sails and kill the motor. That transition from mechanical chaos to the pure serene sound of water lapping and nature all around, nothing compares.

I am dead serious @troph, come race with me and decide. You may be hooked or not. Either way, it will give you another data point. I would love if we got another degenerate hooked into the infinite loop of spending more money to go faster than the next asshole..

Splain. Please.
You do you. I think you should get a 24. 😈 I would decide cruise or race. If you want to come to the dark side, I will skipper for you and get you rolling that direction. 105 is just not fitting imo. Family cruiser....go smaller/comfier... My completely selfish pick is to buy a j80 or better yet j70 and come race with us. I will bring the drinks and get you dialed into the culture of degenerates. Otherwise, go mainstream benateau or hunter and enjoy life.
Let's go race a club series on my boat and that may help steer you.

Definitely this. I will YouTube to watch to make sure I'm doing it sorta right. I don't feel bad at all that I've never changed oil in my life but I also don't want to haul it from my ranchito to Houston (and back).
So I'm doing it myself and can't wait for black smoke to come out from the engine like a pope still hasn't been picked.
Polaris sells kits for your specific model, I have an atv from them.... They make it insanely easy to know what needs to be changed and when. I cant speak for ease of the Polaris SXS, but the atv is easy as shit to change fluids.
I also watched a video made by these guys the first time to be sure I didn't mess anything up. They do a great job explaining step by step.
Edit: I just saw you said Rzr, but I bet they have a video for that too...

Well it's not exactly an either or situation. He's still gotta buy the oil and filter to do it himself. My philosophy is that for a few minutes of work I can do it myself and put better oil in it than if I paid someone to do it.
If I could actually recover the time it takes me to do it and get paid the equivalent of what I would make at work I would be in the hole, but OT doesn't come in 20 minute blocks and I like doing things like that myself so I know they are done right.
This. No brainer over hauling the thing in and getting up sold on a bunch of shit you don't need. Pull the plug and filter, and while the oil is draining, grease all the grease points. Check air filters, then throw the plug and new filter on and fill with oil. Done. 20 min tops and you know it was done right.

I'd probably opt out if given the choice, but I don't agree that it looks like shit. Insert "ThatsJustLikeYouOpinionMan.jpg"
I am certain I am in the minority since they doubled down on the newer models. People must like it. I think it looks absolutely absurd.
-
Those large silver inserts they throw on the tailgate of both models looks like shit. I wish they would make that an option for people that like that type of trash.

So far Travis, Inks, Marble Falls have all tested positive for cyano toxins. Be careful out there with your dogs at lakes. Uneducated guess is the zebra mussels are kicking this off in the colder months. Loki is a lucky one not ending up dead from his exposure. Stay safe.

Eh, my F150 pulls my Avenger 29BHS perfectly. No worries at all about being pulled around by the tail end.
But yes, you should definitely have a quality weight-distribution hitch and anti-sway setup. That's true on any tow vehicle pulling a large travel trailer.
Serious question. Have you driven in 30+ mph cross winds. Be honest. I have done it several times and it isnt a walk in the park in a 1/2 ton. Is it doable, yes, is it the safest thing with your two kids and wife in a fully loaded up truck?? I vote no.. We aren't in a pissing match, we are in a solid info for a prospective buyer. I don't want them getting in over their skiis. ...

Thanks! One question, I have a Z-71 suburban, where can I figure out what that truck will most comfortably pull? I don’t want to go with anything too big that will completely tax it, but definitely don’t want something that is too small...
One of the biggest things to consider beyond just pure towing capacity is windage. I have a 295 jayco that is something like 33' total. Towing with an F150 max tow 6.5' bed, the truck easily pulls it, but the tail sure as shit would wag the dog at times. It is just not something I felt safe with all my family in. I went to an F250 and the difference is night and day. Trailer is in control and feels much safer to tow. Both trucks were rated to tow the same but one is safe and one is sketchy.
If you can find someone with a similar setup as you are thinking of and get their honest opinion, that would be best. Can tow and want to tow long distances in varying conditions are two completely different things. Once you get into the bigger end of the bumper pull trailers, I would personally not tow with less than a 3/4 ton.
1000% get the baddest anti-sway control bar they make.

Popped my trucks deer cherry this morning. 60 mph, never saw it till split second before impact. It actually took it fairly well, bumper is toast but nothing else serious. It will likely still cost 5k+ with all the plastic crap they have to replace behind it. 1k deductible, here we come.

My old F-150 and my wifes Expedition both had sunroof failure. Never again.
