Don't tempt me with a good time. Lol. But I appreciate that my friend. If only one person watches it, I'm ok with that.

And I guess you do, kinda, have a point. I guess it's easier to speak to the common person because I am a common person. Sometimes I pretend as if I'm taking to myself. And sometimes I am talking to myself. 😭🤣🤣

Maybe this weekend I'll do a 6yr, 197k mile review. We'll see.
Like I used to tell friends who were across the pond, or the north border "I'll fax you a beer if you do it".
And in those days, I had a picture of a beer I faxed to them.
Today, I'd PM it to you.

I've seen the results of the NY rust. Almost bought a Comanche once that had lived most of it's life in NY. Seemed like a good deal until someone told me to look underneath. I was in shock.
i am surprised there was an underneath HAHAHAA

Maybe I should do a video on mine. I have 197k on mine. I wheel it pretty hard. I also travel, camp, tow, and haul with it. I'm on my third set of 37s as well. Actually been on 37s for the last 127k miles. I've had wheeling damage as well. I frequently tow a 24ft trailer with my tractor too.

Now... ya got me thinking about making a video! I'm backwoods, weird and not that exciting, but I think I can make it work.🤦🏾‍♂️🤣🤣
I would watch it. Id like to see a video of that rock hill you're going up in that profile pic.

In my first profile pic or the one that I have now?

The first profile pic was from 2023 at Hidden Falls Offroad park in Marble Falls, TX and I didn't make it that day. I had the mopar 2" lift and it wasn't enough. My frame kept getting hung on the rock. I tried to bump it and it still didn't work. A 1/2" would've helped. Lol. I installed a MC 3.5" lift a few months later and went back to redeem myself. I do have a video of the failure.🤣🤣

The pic that I have now is from a few weeks ago at GSL offroad park in Kendalia, TX.

Probably one of the reasons why a video might be interesting. I've made a lot of changes over the last 6yrs. Some I liked and they worked and some didn't.

About 1hr45mins. Not that far. And it only takes that long because the route is through the woods.
