    Always appreciated, but my honest side compels me to inform that I joined purely for personal experience and opportunity.

    I hear ya. This was the best compromise I could find that allowed reasonably quick access, a secure purchase when reaching for it, a some concealment from a stranger peeping through windows.

    No holster, just a magnet. I keep two holsters, one for a belt the other an ulticlip for gym shorts ect in the bin below. Sometimes it’s hot sometimes it’s not. Before I get a lecture about that, I spent 10 years in socom and not as support but as an operator. My experience and comfort level is...

    I went back and forth about suspension setups. In the end I couldn’t stomach $3-5k to replace low mileage parts to acquire the small front lift I wanted. I went with 4Runner popular Cornfed. It’s a 1/2” strut spacer that results in 1” of lift. Personally this is perfect with just 1/2” of rake...

    It is and I agree that’s an important factor when looking for permanent relocation if able. SLC area is getting stupid expensive but much of the state is still reasonable if it suits your work location

    Utah has constitutional carry and generally permissive gun laws. I typically have it appendix concealed if I’m out of the vehicle and not at home. Driving concealed has never been comfortable for me so I don’t do it and like the magnets to prevent sliding around ina storage cubby. It’s not my...

    That’s an interesting option I wasn’t aware of, but not a product for me. I think it looks odd without a rail, I don’t want to keep the bars up permanently, I think the feet with no bars would look even more silly, and constantly removing the feet would induce a huge water problem. LFD is still...

    Added the expedition essentials track mount. Not the ideal solution for holding my phone, as permanent alterations are my last option, but it’s the best I could find. I did the option 1 since I’m only putting a phone on. Plenty sturdy if you can avoid going Mongo when placing and removing your...

    I sold cars for a short period as a teen. I found a good deal is perspective honestly, especially when buying used. Personally, I define my financial limit, define what a certain vehicle is worth to me, and don’t break that boundary during in-person buying as it can be emotional. If you’re...

    Wheels are 17x8 with a 0 offset. Gives a nice flush stance without verging on trophy truck dreams. The tires are 265/70/17 terragrappler in standard load. They ride the same as OEM and have a very slight hum past 50mph that is easy to ignore and disappears with low volume radio. The different...

    Haha yea she knew I’d keep it reasonable to our income level. But she’s accepted my frequent turn over. I’d actually like to keep this GX more than 3 years. There isn’t an suv better suited to our family produced at the moment. A full up landcruiser would be the only thing I’d switch for and I...

    I wouldn’t call it a deal. I went through CarMax because they are aggressive on current market prices (currently inflated) and they snatch up all the low mileage lease and auction cars. If you’re current vehicle is in demand and you want to be financially smart I agree with you. I paid 38.5k...

    That’s good to know. I simply can’t find a better solution. A few questions: How many bars do you have? I was debating 4 or 5. Did you get the wind fairing and is it worth it? Do they require any proprietary attachments for gear or just a few eye hooks?
