Thank you! I am definitely happy with them. The second picture has the protection film that they put on for packaging. I forgot to take it off when I took the picture.
Ah ok, that would have been a cool feature though (without the film).

I heard a loud pop, (kinda like a shelf fell over) come from my garage last weekend. I went ti inspect but saw nothing out of the ordinary. I later pressed the button to lift my garage door and it would not lift all the way because the helper spring had snapped in half.

Gonna replace it later today, when it comes in.

Had the same happen to me before. Forgot how much I paid to get it fixed. I think it was about $79 or so.

That's not bad at all, the spring shipped with the bars to help turn it came out to about $73. But I like to film these thing for my Youtube channel.

Just picked up today the Badlands Apex 12000 winch w/20% off coupon. Next purchase will be a mount for it so I can put it in my JT OEM steel bumper. Next paycheck.

My next purchase is 6 grade 8 bolts to mount my winch plate to my frame.
Well how the heck can a parts guy screw up a bolt order... ordered 1/2” x 1” NF bolts, got 7/16” x 2 1/2” NC. Guess I know what I’m doing in the morning.

Decided I needed a good smaller tent for the upcoming Eastern Oregon trip.
We are going to cover a lot of remote territory so we will have more water, food, and gas on board than usual.
The WJ is gonna be packed to roof (and beyond) with supplies. The size, weight, and absolute need to be staked down has me leaving the loved canvas Kodiak tent at home.
Couldn't find a Gazelle T3 for under $440 - NO WAY I am paying that mark up. So I ordered this bad boy- Big Agnes Doghouse 4.
I like that it does not have a separate rain fly to mess with, has the ability to close off the vents if we end up in a sand storm (again!), and has fairly steep walls for a dome style.
Big Agnes makes nice stuff, so I have high expectations.

What do I plan to buy next? Looking like a ball joint (or more) for the Tahoe. This Thursday I spent 1k on it for other fixes so it is parked until next payday.
No complaint, it has 189k miles and I show it no mercy. Repairs are still a heck of a lot cheaper than making payments on a new depreciating asset (AKA new vehicle).
