I love that while it wasn't the most technical trip, you all still a ton of fun. Sometimes those are the best. A lot of my buddies are all "hardcore or nothing," which gets tedious, nobody likes white knuckle all the time. Pulled the pics up on the computer last night, much better than on the...

This!

That looks awesome, sad I couldn't get out with you guys. I usually have free time when the weather turns, like this week for example. :rolleyes: It's been two full months since Trooper has been off pavement. Shameful... Looks like a great time had by all!

Echo the same -- avoid whole life if you can. If you can afford it, and it isn't cost prohibitive, I'd say get all that you can. Through my work I get $50k at no cost to me. I can add more, up to 5x my salary. Did I do that? You betcha. I'd like my wife to get as much off of me as she can. And...

Awesome. I'm going to tell my wife to do this!

I have family south and they are saying it's crazy.... You're already there, or heading down? Cancel if not too late....

Thanks blznnp, appreciate the comments. That's one thing that I'm going to avoid as much as I can. Growing up we never had anything newer than a Super Nintendo, as such I was outside doing other stuff a lot. That's probably way got me into cars/trucks, was that I had time to kill and tinkered...

I'm amazed at all of the unsolicited things we're getting now that it's out and my wife can't hide it anymore -- you'd think the awkward/embarassed looks on our faces as you continue to talk about your own labor/stretch marks/delivery, etc would be an indicator that we don't want to be talking...

Shut up and take my money. Want.

I just noticed that we have the same tires, sawtooth. Mine are 265/75-16, love them. I've put about 6k miles or so on them with Trooper, and have had them in most conditions (rocks, mud, snow, ice, dirt trails) and they've always been up to the task. They ride smooth, balance easily, and have a...

It comes down to the mentality in the world today. Where consequence was once felt, inaction abides. Where punishment was once doled out, leniency is given. Where accountability once defined character, a lack of such is found.

I have friends in Chicago and NJ, and they say it happens far more than the news is reporting. Just horrible. Can't even imagine how a thought like that can find purchase in someone's mind.. "Hmm, think I'll go suckerpunch a random stranger on the street today for gits and shiggles."

sawtooth, you have no idea how many have offered kids as 'practice' - get in line. :rofl: I've told my wife that in the next few months I might get out wheeling more, since I'm pretty sure that will slow down once BBW (Baby Boy Williams) arrives. Initially, anyway - I plan to get him in a rig...

Haha, awesome. Thankfully we don't buy into all the hype that now surrounds kids and what they "need." I figure if I turned out a pretty normal without all that crap, then they can to. I'm loving the comments, guys, they're fantastic. I'm suddenly grateful that I am the oldest in my family...

Thanks guys! My wife was convinced it was a girl, so I didn't really do the "well what if..." game. But now that I know it's a boy, I'm realizing how excited I am for a boy! :D

Visiting the in-laws.... Have fun all. If there's anything you need, shout out. Tent/bag/camp stove, etc.

We've kept it under wraps (literally) but can't hide it anymore. We're having a boy! April 15th due date. :D This is our first, any good tips/tricks for the next 5 months to prep for the arrival of a little one?

And if you're taking it to a JiffyLube the 18-ry old emissions inspector isn't going to know what the PVC system looks like on an old old Volvo anyway! :D

Emissions tests are basically hooking up a computer/sensor to your on-board systems and tailpipe. They check idling emissions as well as high rpm emissions, and monitor if your vehicle's sensors are doing what they should. If you're wondering if they look under the hood, I don't believe they do...

Lucky....
