Just finished a side project that took about a month to complete. This was a first time for me for taking apart an engine, luckily I didn’t have to put it back together.

It was a Dodge Viper SRT10 engine that my friend blew a rod and shot it through the cylinder wall. I helped him swap it out and I told him it'd be cool to turn his blown one in to a table. Next thing I know he offers the block with everything in it to me for free as long as I can get it out of his garage.

I sold quite a few of the internals on eBay and spent some time cleaning the block.
Found a decent piece of glass at a thrift store and for $72 I've got a pretty sweet coffee table.
Looks Awesome!!

Well,
I still try to imagine the short-bed that's in our RAM extended 1500 taken off of the truck &( hypothetically )added to the back of my 4 door JK to get some idea of this thing's size ....

I don't see it being something that is gonna be as great as is being advertised but I may be wrong. Even updated info ,like the following provides,  just makes me ask ,"why?" ...

the Gladiator is growing on me.  It really does look like a cool vehicle.  I don't see me buying one to put tons and 40's on it to wheel balls but some folks will I'm sure.  I also don't see me buying one to serve as a truck because it can't tow what I need. 

But, it's still a cool vehicle. I bet the sell a ton of them.

I have always had a distrust of "smart phones". Well, today finally made me realize my fears.

My wife & I were walking around Academy Sports this morning awaiting for a restaurant to open.
I mention Mountain House foods.

We get to the restaurant & my wife checks her phone & on her feed is a ad for Mountain House.

WTF?

Similar has happened to me a couple of times.  I have also had certain video content end up on my YouTube feed after having a discussion with a co-worker.  Coincidence maybe?

I think not.
I asked my wife if she's ever looked up/Googled MH food. She said no.
I could see if she watched a video featuring the item but...
I'm afraid we all have an Alexis on our phones.

You commented on a post of mine recently about welding my dash together and I said I wanted to TIG it. My Facebook was littered with TIG advertisements almost immediately afterward

That is reasonable...it's one of the ways that FB makes money.

I've experienced Dave's scenario, and it couldn't be coincidence.

Been around a long time.  It's in the apps when you grant permission for access to microphone, contacts, GPS, browser,on and on.  Google, FB, all the popular ones.  Pretty annoying.
