New England B.S. Thread

Morning...

 

By the time I optioned it out it was like $15 plus $9 shipping

 

They used to be totally free with only like $5 for shipping

 

Anyone have good ideas for a workplace (reasonably clean) $20 yankee swap gift? I'll probably end up getting like a snack gift basket if I can't come up with anything else

 

How about one of those Wal-Mart Yeti mugs? Aren't those around $20?

 

RTIC Mug is 11.99 on Amazon with prime
If not I normally throw in one of those office desk sized pool tables or something sporty like that.
Depending on the company I've gone as far as buying a desktop catapult...

Just got pricing for Bushwacker Fender Flares..... mmmmm

 

I was just at a big Yankee swap a week ago. Big hits were a Gerber multi-tool and some cheap but high power LED flashlight.

 

scratch tickets are always an easy go-to if you forgot to get something. I brought a snuggie one year (got it at CVS) and a few people fought over it.

 

Hmm, all good ideas. Thanks!

 

So with this trailer I bought, I have the air bags coming but I had my mechanic check my brakes for me. The trailer has no brakes and with 120k miles I figured I should replace them. Front has 35% left and back has 60%. After 120k miles! Is that normal? I know I drive a lot of highway miles but still, I tow a lot in both summer and winter. Air bags get installed Monday.

 

Is your truck a manual? Drum brakes last forever. The fronts have a ton of miles, but I guess it's how you drive. My wife's 5TH gen.T4R got 65k out of the stock front brakes and she drives that thing like a NASCAR

 

No it's an auto. Oh well. I guess I'll replace them with the Toyota OEM when it's time.

 

not even I got mine for like $7

 

Wow you've done very good on your brakes! My front's lasted to about 85K and the rears to about 110K. If yours are in as good of shape as you say then I would just do the fronts and make sure your rears are adjusted properly. Proper adjustment of the rears makes a huge difference in how the braking system works on our trucks

I think they have gone up. I saw them at my wife's Wally World the other day for $18. Glad I bought them when I did. What did someone say, $11 for the RTICs on Amazon? No wonder why I saw so many of them on the SS thread

 

I bought a bunch of types of jerky and game meat sticks from Kittery Trading Post for my Yankee swap gift. I threw in some maple sugar candy also. Full size feety pajamas is always a good option as well.

 

I was there on Sunday and completely forgot I had my department yankee swap this Friday. Endless options there.
