I can see how that could be effective with your business especially if you have someone who can do the photos and run the complex Pixels on Facebook/Insta/etc. That part needs to be right for the adds to hit the correct feeds.

I ran some facebook ads a few different times and they worked. I got lots and lots of orders but they were basically small. I was spending about $200 a day to Facebook and getting around $1000-$1500 a day worth of orders. The biggest issue was they were mostly small orders which take more time to process. It is the nature of my business. Get small orders, gain customers then turn them into big orders or more small orders.

Unfortunately with my business, I do not have any big ticket items

Last time Lanier went to WH he tipped the waitress his house in Georgia





Yea, I remember that night. My 50th birthday party I think. Went to a rock and roll cafe with about a dozen friends to see a Pink Floyd tribute band. Ended up drinking till 3am then took every one to Waffle House. Only thing open at 3am. I grabbed the check which was around $125 and added a $75 tip on there.

Didnt know till my wife pulled the receipt out of my pants pocket to wash them the next afternoon.

And unfortunately, it is not my only time doing that.

My wife is a FB marketing genius. She truly has it figured out. It’s amazing/scary what those social media platforms know about you and how they allow certain entities to target you.

Yea I have a kid that I have helped with fishing since he was 10 years old. He is now 30 and does social media marketing for a living. He helped me a bunch but the pixel set up changes so much, you need to stay on top of it. I just dont have the time to invest in taking the photos, making the ads, setting it all up. I will be running some on Jigs in January and spinnerbaits in February. You may see them on Insta and FB. Its just time.

Some Vice Grip Garage, Finnegan, Roadkill, Roadkill Garage, Matt's Off Road Recovery, Cleetus, Grindhard Plumbing, just basically whatever comes into the algorithm.

The ones you mentioned haven't hit my feed yet. I tend to enjoy the practical and the instructional. I hate the guys that skip all the build in a montage. I want to know the tips and tricks.

Watching all that crap did inspire me to pull my motor out of my Jeep. I did pay to have it rebuilt though. Didn't think I could pull that off. It was a great learning experience & plan on doing new suspension & EFI at some point.

I have. And I've already dropped the transmission and transfer case out twice, since.

It's running well now. Teaching the boy to drive a stick on it. My oldest learned on it, but my middle got skipped due to the motor work. I need to teach her as well.

I need to put on the top and doors.

That's cool. Did you put the snorkel on? Water crossings aren't my bag. Water can sneak by seals and mess some stuff up.

I bought mine in '04. It's an '86 CJ.

No those photos was the day I bought it.

He did some crossings but he only put about 8,000 miles over 12 years and I don’t do any water crossings. Mostly do rock and trail.

Very nice toy. Dad had a old CJ5 when I was a kid. Very lean. 4 speed manual. I drove it around some.

Wife has a new bronco on the way. Hoping to pick it up in Georgia while we are there for Christmas. She is going to pound the pavement along the coast here in Florida in it.

Getting one of the new broncs eh? What color scheme did you all decide on. I really want an older Bronco. Should be a fun cruise vehicle for Florida.
