Having some troubles with Entune. I can play music no problem, but if I connect my iPhone via bluetooth without already having a song queued up in Spotify, it'll automatically start shuffling through all my tracks in apple music without stopping until it finds (and starts playing) the same one...

Prewitt Ridge! Turns out the night we were up there was also the peak of the Perseids meteor shower, which was a pretty cool surprise.

Cleaning my Trail Premium out after a quick trip up to Big Sur / Pismo Beach - it was my first proper trip in it and I couldn't be more pleased. Stoked for many more. Complete with home-made PVC awning.

Haha exactly! I'm up there all the time. 1/2 mile from my place.

One of my favorites! I'm pretty all over the place -- Classic Prog (Rush, Yes, King Crimson, Zappa, ELO, Moody Blues) Classic non-prog (Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, The Doors, more depending on the mood) Modern prog / metal (Opeth, BtBaM, TesseracT, Plini, Thank You Scientist, Steven...

On hills, sometimes when I'm not sure if it's a legit parking spot or not and want to make towing extra difficult

28 currently -- got my first 4runner when I was 16 though, and don't plan on getting anything else.

I wonder how this compares to average level of education for Jeep ownership, or other body-on-frame / off-road focused vehicles

Canon Rebel T2i at the moment -- basic, but throw some decent glass on there and it does quite well. Will likely upgrade to a Sony at some point in the next year or two -- likely the a6500, maaaaybe an a7II / a7III

I have two -- #1 -- Coleman Hooligan - cost me like $35, the bottom is a tarp so no need to deal with an extra tarp / footprint, very big for a 2-man (they make 3 and 4 person versions as well), easy to set up, all-mesh without rainfly which is great for warmer nights / when there's no one...

Honestly step one is all-weather floor mats haha, then some basic recovery gear and A/T tires, then probably roof rack, awning & RTT, light bar (I like the behind-the-grill approach), cb / ham, etc. Undecided on whether I want to lift it or not, that would be a few years down the road if anything.

That's a good looking rig -- I like the blacked out hood on the red finish -- is that just a vinyl wrap?

Nice! I do as well (work from home) - what line of work are you in?

2015 Trail Premium My new baby -- un-modded (as of yet), but hoping to get her out into the dirt over the next couple weekends -- anybody in Southern California have any recommendations?

Woodland Hills here!
