THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Yeah it's hard when you're engaged/newly married and want to see your significant other a lot.

Kate and I have been engaged over a year and often only see each other twice a week due to work/school schedules.

You could always sit down with her and go over you guys budget and think about what it will mean for any house plans in your future.

Geez really? I guess I got lucky. Almost been a year in my apt w Tarah. Yea it's in the basement of her parents' house but it's an actual apartment w our own driveway and entry, and rent is CHEAP.

I'll throw in my $.02 if you want.

If there is anything you can do to avoid renting, do it. Once you have rent payments on top of utilities and everything else, it makes it near impossible to save up for a down payment on a house.

Luckily I get along with my parents really well and could deal with the hour commute to work, so I avoided looking for an apartment and stayed with them which allowed me to save for a down payment.

I can understand wanting to get out and not live with parents anymore (believe me, I get it, I never even lived away during college :laugh:), but it's worth it once you finally have the money to move out.

I don't know your financial situation or if you get along with your family, nor if there are any first time home buyer incentives in NY, but that's just my $.02.

BTW, I didn't know you went hunting. SICK DEER, KID.

Nice deer, Stephan, congrats!
I sympathize with your situation, Carol and i dont spend too much time together, either, mainly due to work on both our ends, but once her house is sold that will change quickly.
That said, all of Colin's points are 100% accurate..renting can end up sucking you into a financial black hole and will hobble any attempt at saving for a downpayment on a home. Choose wisely.

Dirtbound has some really good looking bumpers also - check out the extreme winch bumper

Ya, it seems like it looks best with the crazy grill hoop on it, and for some reason I've only thought that looks good on a lifted Jeep.

That's what I have, doesn't stick out too bad.

I do like that bumper. Planning on parting it again any time soon?

Why buy a bumper when you already have one?!?!
I don't want to run your old bumper. Giant stingers don't look good on stock vehicles so I would have to cut it off, and I'm not thrilled about the idea of cutting the grill, I want to keep this thing clean.

Buy a simple one and modify it for a hidden winch.
I do like yours a lot. Being able to free spool easily and see it wind in would be nice though. Yours is Rigidco right?

Yep. You can just put a few holes in the top to see the winch better.

Mark, what about these?

Ugly. Something that is dead straight on a surface that is curved just doesn't sit right.

I thought your winch was behind the front crossmember?


1st time in a long time I'll be doing a rock auto order. $383 shipped for full brake setup minus hardlines for the Jeep (with premium stuff). :(
