Quick update on this for anyone who's interested.
I have a test server up and running in the homelab for the forum. I have the forum software loaded (and I'm troubleshooting the image rotation issue).
I also converted the entire main website (everything except the forum) to a set of static HTML pages and have them deployed to CloudFlare Pages (a serverless platform). I've even figured out how to keep our random image banner working (javascript) and our contact form using a CloudFlare Pages Function.
The actual live website has not changed yet - I'm doing all the above stuff to test and prove out my plan. I'm pretty comfortable with how it's all working so next will be to start doing migrations to the new infrastructure for realsies.

The Miata looks great! Sometimes I miss mine ... and then I remember that I didn't really fit in it.

Jesus @TomWood I read this as one thought ... I was about to call you to see if you are ok!

Happy birthday @Eastcoastcam!

I might have figured out what is causing this ... working with vendor (again) for root cause / next steps.

Sounds like a great spot @sar4x4! Lots and lots of work. Is it on property you own? Sounds like it vs. a campground!

Jesus @TomWood that looks like quite the rig! Congrats.

Looking at changing the URL from "backcountry4x4club.ca/forums" to "forums.backcountry4x4club.ca".
This will allow me to host the main site on an edge provider (e.g. Cloudflare) and the forum from the server in my basement.
I've been paying to have the site hosted for the last two years (since I moved) with a cloud service provider and I'm looking to move it back to my own infrastructure and eliminate that monthly cost.
With this change, if I need to reboot the server in my basement the forum will be down, but the main site will be up. If I have to do some sort of extended maintenance on the server we can put a notice on backcountry4x4club.ca to alert visitors vs. the entire site being unavailable.
Not entirely sure when I'll make the change, but I'll setup a redirect so that when users visit the old URL they are redirected to the new URL.

Seems like a lot of places are out of stock or the prices are all over the map. Listing is cheap at one location with no stock and the same tire is 2x the cost at another place that has stock. Yeesh.

Where are folks buying tires these days? The Jeep is going to need new wheels / tires so I'm in the market for a 37" MT.

Yup! They had sides on it while working the fields too. It will be a great multi use vehicle but not much for commuting lol
... might need to hire / borrow your truck in the relatively near future.

That thing looks sick! Need more pics
Can you put sides on it and use it as a dump truck for around the house type stuff (e.g. soil, mulch, stone)?

Take a look at this recall from Schneider Electric / Square D.
Product Safety Alert: QO™ Plug-on-Neutral Load Centers | Schneider Electric USA (se.com)
How to tell is confusing and some of the labels are inside your panel - don't remove your panel cover unless you are a qualified electrician!
This link gives you some things to check including a good set of clues by simply opening the door and checking the labels above your "directory label".

Nice new LED headlights in there. I like the way they are in the fenders ... are those housings OEM or did they bodywork those lights?

anything that didn’t have a heavy layer of dust on it got painted
I learned this lesson in the spring. I used a couple of spray bombs to paint my mower deck ... you can see a fine yellow dust on darker objects in my garage lol

Priority has been the home
I can relate. The Jeep is rotting away in the driveway while I'm focused on home projects.
Rented an excavator this past weekend and did a bunch of dirt work around the house. Dry well, trench for drainage, grading, installed a couple flower beds. What a blast those things are once you get the hang of them!

Looks really good in the pics!! Also, great idea to cover up the shop like that. Time to prep, but worth saving the mess on everything after.

Doesn't look like there is a Ford Performance tune for a 2021+ F-150

Happy Birthday @guymacdonald! Hope you have a great one!

I would suggest the 91, have been putting that in the Ranger and its awesome. Also you could look for an aftermarket or Ford Performance tune and see if it helps, plan on the Ford Performance tune for the Ranger here soon.
Hopefully the valve body fixes the issue and gets that working. The Ranger has a vibration in the driveline when starting at times but Ford says its nothing to do. They shim the rear diff or replace the center bearing on the two piece. I have the same issue with navigation using CarPlay at times but not sure if its CarPlay or the sync system itself.
Fingers crossed they get that stuff fixed soon.

My GPS issue is the built in Ford / SYNC GPS - CarPlay has been working fine for me.
Is the Ford Performance tune a dealer supported thing? i.e. doesn't void warranty?
