Damn, so refining the models further makes almost everything end up relatively similar in terms of 5-year costs (or really any reasonable number of years i.e. 2-20). The way I've been looking at things is by comparing what we would expect to have in savings plus any :plac: profit in a house sale at...

I love the look of your jeep... the all black and sick tires makes it look so aggressive

Hype thanks guys, good to have people who know stuff to learn this from. I am excited to enter this world

Renting for a year is a great way to “test drive” the area, the people, etc. this. yea, and we know the economy in general is going to be cooling off this year if not straight up enter bear tertortority. You say values seem stable but price does not matter if you cant sell to anyone. fuck the incen...

For other doggie clothing, have you guys looked at artificial materials similar to hooman hiking shells? Wool only goes so far as long as it stays dry, but some neopren...

Man, I hate seeing dogs in clothes, they always look like "WTF, Really?". I guess as long as it's not ballerina costumes, or things that make them look like something other than a dog and has a function it's fine though.. However, I would recommend any of you guys in cold climates should ...

I need to get those dust caps on the lights and delete my air dam. I'm pretty sure I'm in, though. Time? FTFY. I'd say 10AM start to accommodate the southern folk. I still need to figure out the exact start location. That sounds like a good time, depending on whether oFisEr roodi is willing, I coul...

Yea I myself don't want a winch right now, was thinking more long-term, especially for the solo aspect in case I am stuck and need to pull myself out and don't have any other trucks nearby. My schedule may be a bit wack as I get a new assignment for work so thinking for future once I really get int...

One does not simply just jump into wheeling with a winch. You’ve gotta slowly ease yourself down onto it like a cucumber. Depends. If you do a lot of wheeling on your own, a winch can be invaluable. You never know when you might hit a mud hole that's too deep or something. There's trails in the NE ...

Likewise either date

The main point is to mitigate losses, so in that case wouldn't it make more sense to lose 5% instead of 10%? Also what stocks do you hold that you lose 10%??? Fair, a lot of people are saying it's closer to 3% right now, but still the idea is about the average and like i said, mitigating losses. I ...

Inflation is on average 2.2%, and my interest is about 5%, and either way if its a 5% i can avoid then i may as well go for it, or at least build up a war chest You can lose 10% per year in the stock market or lose 5% on a :jeep: loan. Either way, you lose. :eeyore: The main point is to mitigate lo...

avoiding interest.

If it is <5% you're basically at inflation. So doesn't matter.

Yea most of the upgrades I intend to do are basic, lighting, sliders, and tires as you said. If all goes according to plan I should pay it off within a few years. Why does "paying it off" matter? The cost for the vehicle is fixed. It is the actual depreciation from your original purchase ...

[user not found], I look to your upgrades for future guidance once JL is more paid off :jeep: All you really need is a set of Rubicon sliders, and slightly better tires. Jeeps are incredibly capable and I doubt you're gonna need anything more than that while you're still paying the vehicle off. Yea...

I thought the AT tires meant you got the LSD. What's your VIN? You've got the LSD. Dueler AT tires = LSD.

You've got a rear limited slip, ja?

Eh, according to google it is not default, therefore I most likely don't have it. According to my mopar site, i have conventional front wheel differential...

Don't have my rope yet, but I have prime 100% ikea grade string we can use.

Just make sure you have a rear recovery point. Pics show you have hooks up front.

[user not found] and I have straps if we need them.

A bit late and out of nowhere, but I agree with the general sentiment. Hoping that the parking situation works out may not be the best call, especially with potential for insane NY winters, then there's also the housing bubble potentially bursting in the next year or so. The freedom of owning a home...
