3 levels of rich..

Level 1: Cutting Your Own Grass (Necessity)
The Scenario: You do it because you have to, or to save money.
Significance: Symbolizes independence, manual effort, and a tighter financial situation.

Level 2: Paying Someone Else to Cut Your Grass (Comfort)
The Scenario: You have achieved financial success and pay a service to handle it.
Significance: Represents buying back your time. You have enough income to outsource labor.

Level 3: Cutting Your Own Grass Again (Freedom)
The Scenario: You are wealthy enough to hire it out, but choose to do it yourself.
We’re aiming for level 4, wooded acreage with some grass I can cut myself but no neighbors or HOA to complain if I don’t.

This is the real freedom. Wish the cruiser could tow more so I could haul a Ford 5000 tractor and the implements without being past the weight limit on a 100-150 acre property.

This is me with washing the car. Sure, it'll never look as good as a pro detailer cleaning it up, but it's nice to just unplug for an hour or two and fire up the power washer, condition the seats, etc.
 
Did this today. This is where rust starts on the tailgate. It kills me too see the rust line on tailgates from these screws rusting out. Seems like every spring I pull out these 2 license plate screws and paint them and clean up the holes. Ya that’s my old sock 😷

This is the most Land Cruiser thing ever lol. I am not throwing shade
 
Paying for lawn care is one of the best expenditures we have, when we have free time the last thing we wanna do if cut grass… we go play as a family instead.

I occupy this strange parenting space, I’m the stay at home parent. We knew we wanted to handle the kid thing in house and it just worked out that I was the lucky one. The guilt of taking off once a year for a few nights with a friend of mine is legit but it’s a guilty pleasure that keeps some sanity for me and allows my wife and kids to realize there really isn’t a cleaning troll who comes out and does all the house work… it’s hell week back home and they need a little dose of reality sans dad once in a while and somebody has to catch these bass down here.
Hey Artie, this is Angelo. If you're ever in my neck of the woods of Knoxville, hit me up. I don't know if you recall but I was a stay at home Dad for years. It's the most rewarding and thankless job in the world LOL! Who knew a job existed where you go to work, not get paid and your bosses demand so much of you 24/7. I found owning a business later on was the relaxing part of my day. :D Honestly, wouldn't give up that time I had with my girls for any amount of money and would do it all over again.

Will do! We’ve been wanting to do more in that area and into the smokies so I’ll keep your offer in mind.

Definitely love my “job”, hopefully I can ride it out for as long as possible. My employers are 9 and 10 so I have a few more years at least.
 
Probably not the right thread, but anyone have experience with dinitrol underbody coating here? Guessing Fluid Film & other lanolin/DIY products are more popular, but just curious if anyone has a first-hand experience, thoughts, etc
 
How am I supposed to go over the boulder in the Target parking lot without an aftermarket bumper?!?
Joking aside, I did once see a Nissan Altima high centered on about a 2.5-foot boulder in the Target parking lot at Colorado Mills. Must have taken a very concerted effort to get it up there.

We have in a couple of our personal and customer vehicles.

@TampaCruisers started offering Dinitrol services this year and by far the BEST quality result and materials We have used in our undercarriage restoration work.
