One of my Venture X co-workers offered to send me a referral link--apparently he can** get a bonus perk if I use his link to apply. I had him send it to me, I applied, and was instantly approved. They say I'll receive my card in the mail in 3 days. I guess I'm part of the travel rewards club...

If I were to list my #3 card choice, it would be the AmEx Gold. I just don't think I'm gonna dive 100% into the AmEx pool, so that's why I am going to pass on it.

The timing of your post is incredible, since I have just (over the last few days) started looking to get a new rewards card. The new wife likes to travel, and we have already taken more trips in our 17 months together than I took in the 15 years before that. Our next major trip will be in...

FYI: today my neighbor texted me and said "I'd take $2500-$3000 for the whole truck." Only photo he sent me: (And just in case anyone is wondering, I have no stake in this deal. I'm just trying to pass the word to some friends; I'm not getting any sort of compensation in any way.)

PM sent.

Automatic 5R110.

Understood. Let me see what I can arrange. He did not, but I'm pretty certain it is an automatic. I will confirm this.

The plot thickens. I texted my neighbor to ask him for a price on the axles. Here is his (lengthy) reply: "That truck is at my friend's house in Roy. I brought it to him because I wanted it bulletproofed, but when he started into the engine the pistons were bad. I talked to him and he said my...

If it weren't for RME, I would not be leading Elephant Hill at EJS (nor would I be staying with Big Sarge, @mbryson and @Maverick while I am there).

Okay, I will check with him and let you know. (I have no idea of their market value, and I have no idea what he is going to tell me.)

One of my neighbors just texted me. He has a non-running 2003 F-350 diesel truck (I have no idea what is wrong with it). He just purchased a replacement truck, and is willing to part out the old one if it might help someone. He texted me because "he knows a lot of Jeep guys like using parts off...

Matt Happel (aka Sloppy Mechanics) has many videos showing him doing exactly this. He oftens quips, "if you don't look at the cam bearings, they will always be fine." THIS x eleventy billion.

Thank you. So far I am enjoying it.

Back in July, I was promoted to a sales manger position. This prevents me from being able to casually walk the lot with customers to look over and select a vehicle, I can't go on test drives, etc. I do get to structure deals, sign papers with you, etc so I can still be involved with my...

Already done. :)

Say, there's an idea that never occurred to me. Hmm.

By popular demand, here are some photos of my front end setup. I recently learned the bushings connecting my my upper control arms to the axle are shot (which means the equally-old bushings at the rear of the control arms are probably also in need of replacement). If I'm sitting still...

Let me get a couple photos in the daylight tomorrow.

And perhaps this is the direction I really ought to go. Yes, after a fashion. I've got WJ steering knuckles/brakes with a fabricated HD steering setup. I am quite happy with the improved braking performance compared to my original brakes (rear drums are still stock). However, I have all the...

Too late--it's full. Dome Plateau it is.
