    Not sure if it's worth the drive, I went to Gale in Enfield. No appointment, in and out within an hour with a test drive with a tech. Pleasantly surprised to say the least, tech was down to earth, spoke to me like a human not another random dumb vehicle owner.

    First they asked if a Rav4 was okay, I told them Id really appreciate a truck so im not inconvenienced by this frame issue. She didn't say anything just turned around and grabbed a different folder... apparently for a brand new tundra. I got in it and it had 3 miles on it haha

    Epsom salt soaks with warm water multiple times a day and antibiotic ointment along with keeping it clean. Hope for the best.

    Took me about 20 minutes to drop mine off at Balise. Plus they do a shit load of frames. I only use one person over there for service and I work well with them and they don't treat me like an asshole. The tech that did my truck had been doing frames since the beginning of the 1st gens, really down to earth guy and answered my questions. I think they have about 50-70 trucks waiting right now

    Did you injure the finger at all or did you just notice it becoming painful/red? It's really just an infection of the nail bed, thats why it can happen more often after picking/cutting a hangnail or cutting nails too short. I would try the warm water/peroxide soaks. I don't think Vitamin C and antioxidants will do much since they are localized/small infections but can't hurt! I would wait it out a few days, increasing pain/redness/swelling/joint pain - head to your medical provider. It's not uncommon for these to relieve on their own. But damn do they hurt!

    Yeah, same idea applies. Feet can be tough since we have to wear socks and shoes. Keep the area clean and dry; do warm water/peroxide soaks at night.

    R/O shouldnt take that long to write up. We use to have to get them made up by some dealerships to get paid when I did the bumper repair thing

    Need to find someone with a boat load of land that we can essentially donate to for a "yearly pass" for use of their land.

    sales is terrible! My dad and I tried to deal with them on 2 separate occasions. However, Greenfield toyota does treat my dad well. I havent personally been there but he says their customer service is great.

    I know they are under new ownership but Boch Toyota South has pretty much always treated me well. Only time I had some hassle was with the needle bearing, which i explained the magnasun moss act etc etc and they did it, and then i paid for them to do the ecgs bushing lol cause the bearing replacement still went bad

    Complete side note. Never know until you ask I guess. Anyone in the north east here into racing drones ?

    Not going to be TW exclusive, but might get an every other month meet up for freestyle and racing. All skill levels.

    Not into racing drones but I am into drones... I own a company and hold my Part 107 for it. In fact, I just crashed my damn Inspire 1 due to a battery failure the other day :(

    That's my goal, found a couple options that would great to put trails on but, just not the funds to buy it yet. I'm aiming for 100+acres in ME at some point for MTB, 4x4, & BC trails.
