So a while back I learned that you shouldn’t use power tools to tighten down the bolts holding a roof rack to a Tacoma because it’ll strip the threads. After chasing out the holes in the roof it held for a bit but was never as secure as I wanted

fast forward a year of hardcore overlanding :rolledeyes: with some weight on it and the bolts are all loose so I drilled them out and stuck rivnuts in there. Hopefully this lasts for a while

think of all the extra chairs and marshmallow skewers you'll be able to haul to camp now!

This is a great. I was worried about stripping them out when the roof rack was on too. rivnuts have plenty of material to hold onto this way. I like it. Need to make some hard mounts instead of the rubber blocks that will deform and fail eventually.

Transfered the last 10k of our debt to a 0% for 12 months balance transfer. We will be debt free in 10 months. Feels awesome to pay off 35k in a year and change but the savings is hurting. And little man took his first steps on Saturday so was an awesome mother's day gift for the wife.

That's the best feeling. Keep it up but don't forget to pay yourself and maintain a savings.

Already took his first steps?! Damn that's awesome. Congrats!

One of the subtlest examples of white privilege/entitlement is not eating the same thing for dinner two nights in a row

Because I can afford not to? Don't wanna eat rice and beans every night? Don't have 5 fucking kids when you can't afford the first one, or the second, or the.... Oh wait, uncle Sam pays for their meals and rent, they can afford not to too.
