She was spinning all four tires in 4 lo to get it to budge. I think the wife got video. If so Ill get it posted up.

And no thats not the strap that we used. I had to move up to a 40K pound 4 inch unit to make any kind of movement.

Well I hate to say it but I put rough country seat covers in. Not what Inwanted buuut Amazon had the sore d**k deal, just cant beat it, $110 front and rears. They're ok? Theyre not the Carhardts I had in the 03 but you pays your money, you takes your chances...

The two crotch gobblins that cant find their mouths when snacking necessitated them. I couldn't see anymore crumbs on the factory seats.


Had to go downtown Ft Myers today. This is coming over the bridge on 41 into Downtown. The memorial fence has wayyyyy more people on it than is being reported at the moment.
The boats that were lost is simply incredible.

At this point the debris that were lighter than water were to my right on the berm of the highway and were over the roof of the truck. So thats 8+ feet where this shot is, the Ram would have been comletely under water.

Oh yeah, another thing cropped up while putting in the seat covers. I guess the third brake light decided to leak in the recent past. Either water pushed in from the 150mph gusts of the hurricane or the flooding rains a few day ago. Either way I guess new seal and perhaps a headliner if I can find one at the right price.

New bumper on the way, want/need a winch. I didn't want to do it. I like the one I have. Hooke Road even agreed to sell me their winch plate and I'd simply modify the bumper for the winch opening. It was going to cost me $200.

The day they agreed to sell me the plate, I get a notice from camelcamelcamel about a bumper I had placed in my watch list way back when. Couldn't pass up the deal. Ended up being roughly $1K off normal price. Picked it up for $865 with taxes and delivery. Should be here 11/15. We'll see.

This is what's coming;

In an effort to keep the flares from getting sun faded I decided to raptor line them.

Used a hazard frought hvlp gun. Drilled the tip to 2mm. It was my first time using spectrum cup system. I can say without a doubt its a win. So easy. Just get the cup, insert the liner, fill to pre marked mixing ratios, mix, attach and spray. When you're done remove the assembly insert the plug, unscrew the lid and toss the liner. So much easier than cleaning the cup and all that crap.

Anywho. Point of interest, don't spray over used flares. Even though I sanded and the raptor is thick, the imperfevtions from use still show through.

But at least I wont have sun faded flares. Now to let them dry....

FA-KING Amazon.. Called 20 minutes after scheduled delivery, oh we don't have capacity to deliver. You can wait up to 12 days or we can cancel and issue a refund. Hell no, I want the bumper. Not my fault you sold it for less than cost. Cough up my stuff.


Just go the email too. GRRRR... "Snowball team", yeah I know what that's a euphemism for...

"Thank you for allowing more time for our delivery facilities to provide availability, if applicable.

Important notes:

The Snowball team will email you to confirm their case is being handled.

They check availability every 24 hours.

After 5 days without availability, they offer a refund or replacement.

If you would like to wait, the Snowball Team continues checking availability for 7 more days.

However they'll refund the order after 12 days total with no availability.

Thanks for reading.

All the way down from $1700 and now they don't want to deliver. Unreal.

nada. They're just gunna run out the clock until their auto rules kick in and deny the delivery and refund the purchase. I'm half tempted to F with them when they put it back in to stock and buy it again. See how many times they're willing to screw with it.
