Yep. The Thar. I do not believe it is street legal though.....or at least it wasn't.

Also, the body recovery time is a simple one beer away while hosing off the tractor, instead of a week of muscle relaxers and Aleve. There comes a time when it's either give up your dream home and property for a condo, or get a better tool. The LS purchase was a no-brainer.

So, are you a Chase Briscoe fan now???

2LZ, it certainly has been fun making those piles of trimmed up limbs and downed trees turn into bonfires... The problem I see now is that with bonfires every night (and most of the day, too), my beer stock is depleting at a much higher rate than when I would only have a brew after the work was done. As for Nascar, I don't really follow any sports or anything like that. Never was my cup of tea.

Bender, You're correct. It's called the ROXOR, and it's a pretty sweet ride. There are plenty of places that will register it like a golf cart or OHV (off highway vehicle). Some municipalities register it like those Razors or Side-by-Sides. Here's a link to the Roxor: https://roxoroffroad.com/

The Thar is the Jeep wannabe for Asia. The Roxar is the UTV here in the states.

Per China Rider 27's advice, bought this steel magnetic drain plug for my X-pect.

I don't know if the Thar is available in this country. I know the Roxor can be had just about anywhere.

This is what I was looking at.

R-30 roll insulation for my attic, 25' x 15", 5 rolls per room. Need 15 total, bought 6 today.

No internal access to attic. Had to enlarge the hole for the 18" x 12" vent (did that a week ago when I inspected the attic), so I could fit me/the insulation in there. For now, I created a stupid-looking frame for the vent to button it back up. Set up the 15' ladder and took each roll up there one at a time.

Even with it being 62 degrees outside, it was fairly hot in the attic. Did one roll just to see how it would go. Not too bad. By far the worst part is having to bend over or squat and walk that way the whole time. Wore me out. I'm too out of shape.

But hey, I'm turning 72 in June.

Q: You fool! Why didn't you get it installed professionally?
A: Because ibuprofen does not cost $30 an hour.

Blue braided hoses for the DRZ. Can't....seem.....to....stop....buying.....bling.. ...

Antifreeze, upper and lower rad hoses and a rad cap for the Jeep. Oh, and $95 worth of gas for the Chevy.

TominMO · 05-10-2022, 04:42 PM

KSSK's X-pect tires.

First thought when I read this.... I've never heard of KSSK brand tires!
Then I started searching. Found the thread. These? They look super nice.

TominMO · 05-10-2022, 09:12 PM

Those look like Bridgestone Battleaxes. I bought stock OE slightly used X-pect tires from a member here called KSSK.

Darkrider · 05-11-2022, 12:25 AM

On the Roxor it is based off of the Thar, In fact doors and roof kits intended for the Thar have been fitted to them in the past. But people have also fitted Jeep CJ and YJ windshields to them before to make them more Jeep like.

As for what i bought today... Well today and yesterday...

Yesterday: 27" MSI Optix gaming monitor
Today: Complete Acer bundle (Tower, monitor, peripherals) with 9th Gen Core I3 for $150. Brand new set up but it was a demo unit at the local rent to own place.

Oddball Matt · 05-11-2022, 04:16 AM

Engine off a parted out Yahama Virago 125 (220€)
Pallet freight shipping for said engine (100€)

Stings but still cheaper than driving three hours one way to go get it with gas costing the equivalent of around $8.30/Gal here...

Got a new cell phone from TMobile. Their customer service is terrible.
