New England B.S. Thread

Well on a happier note my Christmas presents just came in yesterday!

 

Nice!!! Getting a few myself, that I bought for myself, in a few days as well!

Tomorrow, getting my Bullet Proof Fabrication skid plate. Friday, getting Weather tech floor mats that I purchased from a TW member. And then hopefully Friday or Monday, getting a center console divider/organizer.

Merry Christmas to me!

 

my christmas presents to myself came in too. What did you get? I got gun drilled 30 spline super set Longfields for the trail rig.

 

And also I had made cookies and sent them out to a few people on Dec 21st. I shipped them out priority mail and one of those just got delivered the day before! That's almost comical

 

I bought a weathertech floor liner for my truck on 12/18; its SUPPOSED to finally be delivered tomorrow 1/7

All I can do is shrug my shoulders lol.

 

I got all new speakers for my truck! Hybrid Audio 6.5" Clarus components for the front and 6.5" Imagine coaxials for the rear. Next is sub and amp

 

Did you get them for the front and back? I bought Weathertech for the rears because I found them on sale and hate them! I have Huskyliners in the front and love them. I just bought Maxliner mats for my wife's new car and they seem to be pretty decent. They were significantly less expensive than Husky or Weathertech but rated really well. So far, the fit and finish was great and I'm happy with them. I might actually replace my rear mat with them, the Weathertech needs to go.

 

I've got the Maxliner in the rear of mine, actually just put it in a couple weeks ago. They're a pretty good fit, it came rolled up in a tube so with the cold weather they took a bit to settle out but I'm happy with the fit. What don't you like about the weathertechs?

 

Bought the over-the-hump one piece for the front. I may just get a few all weather mats from autozone or something to throw in the rear. Weathertech is expensive enough, so I figured I would spend the money up front and hopefully not regret it. Seems to be mixed reviews as of late with them.

 

RUH ROH. I just bought a set of WeatherTechs from a TW member here and just waiting to get them. I think I got a good price on them ($100.00) being that I know they are expensive, so guess I'll wait and see what I think/feel about them once I get them.

 

I can't get them to lay flat or stay put. There aren't any of the rubber nubs on the back of the mat so it slides around a lot and, because of that, it keeps curling up against either the door, front seat mounts or back of the cab. The edges are rolled up so bad now that I catch my foot on it every time I step into the cab (which I'm usually carrying the little one to put him into is carseat so it's annoying).

 

Been considering removing the carpet and rhino lining. But i would have to take out the sound barrier which would make it even louder to drive

 

Not sure if this would help if they are significantly rolled along the edges but I used some industrial velcro in a few different areas attached to some of the plastic along the door sill. I also found that the firm side of the velcro easily and firmly stuck to the the carpet which made it very easy to spread them out and keep it from curling in some of the center areas.

 

I've considered Velcro at the sill but didn't want to go that route (just because I'm stubborn and didn't want to have to use stickers on my truck because my mats suck). I like the idea of the Velcro against the carpet though, hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a shot, if they stop moving around, they should stay flat after a while.

 

No presents for the FJ this year. Still saving my sheckles for a Mini in the spring. Kind of need a new toy.

 

Your keeping the FJ though right?

 

We've got weathertechs in the wife's t4r, so far they've been great. The rear set was rolled up and 1 piece like I assume yours are Mike. Took a few weeks for them to un roll but once they did they haven't moved since and fit really well.

I need to pick up something for the FJ before it gets too nasty out. I was pleased with the weathertechs I had in my taco and my car before that.

 

Lol. All of my coworkers bought powerball tickets last night and apparently there were no winners anywhere in the country so they're all disgruntled about 'having' to buy tickets again tonight.
But, I have to admit, with the jackpot they've got going right now I might actually stop and buy a ticket on my way home tonight. What the hell, right?

 

I only buy them when the jackpot gets over 100 million

 

I rarely buy lottery tickets and I bought one last night (and probably will again tonight). With the jackpot that high, it's worth a shot. Can't win if you don't play.
