I drove 250 miles home from Gatlinburg, then came to work. (Then I took a picture of her in the parking lot.)

Love the tilt shift photography. Makes it look like a toy.

At the moment.

Having friends that own shops is where it's at

It is definitely nice! My buddy let's me use his lifts when he is not or Saturday or Sunday. I also barter for work back and fourth.
For sure. I haven't had to pay for a tire mount and balance in years. But then again, I end up having to mount and balance my own tires usually. Using the lift on Sundays is pretty sweet too.

Im on the same boat. I have a buddy that has a 4x4 shop and I haven't had to pay for mount and balance in 7 or 8 years, but its me that had to do the mounting and balancing. So monetary savings but my back tho...

No tire machine but he does a lot of business with discount tire and I buy a lot of tires from them as well.

He will let me do anything I want when his lifts are free. When I don't have time or my wife's suv needs a service i just pay him to do the work. When I had my company he did all my work trucks but that was business. It does make it nice to have options and its reasonable.

Yeah where it was doing business hours I paid.....I like to support my homies businesses.

They've hooked me up very well over the years. For instance, yesterdays alignment I stopped by Friday afternoon and they scheduled me for first appointment so I didn't have to take time off from work.

Those lights really improve the look of the back of a Gladiator! The retro letters really pop. Looks great!

How do these badges work? How do you get em?
1) Download the Badge of Honor app on your phone
2) Make an account, you need your VIN and shit
3) When you get to a BOH trail, log in and "Check-in" on the app; it uses GPS to determine your location to the BOH trail.
4) Complete the BOH trail
5) A week to months later you will get a letter in the mail and your fancy badge will be there
6) Install your sweet BOH badge to let everyone know your rig is NOT a mall crawler
7) Repeat steps 3 & 4 for the other BOH trails and stack your badges to compensate for some "shortage" in your life LOL
