    I design and build luxury home gyms, so needed something to haul and look good on job sites. Will get some partial wrapping done on it, but the avalanche gray looks awesome.

    This is one of my favorite kitchen gadgets I've owned: https://almondcow.co/

    Water + almonds (or hempseeds, or pistachios, or cashews, or oats, or coconut shavings) + salt + honey/some light sweetener = delicious. Made some pistachio milk this week that was incredible.

    Past 2-3 years I've been on a big kick of eating/drinking natural, non-processed ingredients. I don't think it's possible to completely cutout processed foods, but I'm getting pretty damn close. I put non-dairy milk in my smoothies every morning but got turned off by all the gum and preservative shit and stuff I can't pronounce.

    Decided to pair it with a https://store.antennasdirect.com/clearstream-2max-hdtv-antenna.html antenna. I put it in my attic and doubled the channels I received to 50!

    ideally set on top or mounted at a level equivalent to on top of a buffet or entertainment stand. But with the size of tvs today and different house designs tvs are getting placed higher up. Not everyone has a 20’x30’ tv room to showcase a massage tv on a piece of furniture.

    Nug that sounds awesome and might end up being my Christmas ask. Does the small version only make 1 glass of milk at a time? I love the idea of making a large enough batch for several days’ worth at a time.

    Edit: nevermind, I just read the fine print. 1.2 - 1.4 liters per batch.

    I'm going to become a televangelist for SideClick remotes. It attached to my other remote and I was able to program each button to what I want in under a minute. And it turned three remotes into one for me, so a worthy purchase. (Until I accidentally turn off my projector when I meant to mute my sound bar)

    We went in to the dealer to look at the LX several months back and didn’t like it. Very nice but felt like you needed to be 60 to drive it. They had one of these in a lesser trim as a demo and we loved it. We drove Defenders and liked them a lot too but liked the GX more. We were actually planning on buying either a Defender or LX the day we first saw and drove the GX. Being able to relatively quickly get in a loaded green Overtrail+ sealed the seal. Dealer gave lifetime powertrain warranty for free and three years of maintenance. They did try to push about ten other warranty and protection packages but I already had an appointment for ppf, ceramic, and tint before picking it up.

    Never seen one before but I like it. Looks like it's going to have the same visibility issues as the Toyota FJ Cruiser. Tiny windshield and good luck seeing anything around you.

    This thing is what I was thinking of. Yours wont be so bad, looks like a blend of the newer FJ style and old mid 90's Lancruisers.

    Have no doubt the Lulus are great but I highly recommend Birddogs. I only have their joggers but looking now looks like they added these that I"ll probably give a shot next time I'm in the market.
