    I was just on there last night checking out wipers for my wife’s car, couldn’t believe how inexpensive they seemed. To the point I didn’t think dare order as I was concerned something must be wrong. I’ll take another look soon.

    Hi I'm a new member from southern NH just starting my search for a new Tacoma. Any dealers you recommend or dealers to avoid?

    Thanks!

    Their close outs are awesome! Now, I get an e-mail when they have close out parts for either mine or my wife's vehicle. It's usually brakes or wipers but yeah, $2-5 wipers and they're name brands, what could go wrong?

    Yeah, I thought that I'd miss it on the new set, but the new set actually has a built-in LED work light on all of the tools, which is even more convenient.
    Congrats on the new set! Hopefully it works out for you!

    My current Makita drill has the LED light on it. It'd be nice if they all do, though I guess the drill and impact are where it's most helpful.

    I tried to order it to pick up in store because it said it was in stock, but they called me saying it wasn't. Shipping was free to send it home, so I just reordered it to go there. They say I should have it Thursday.

    I need to replace my wipers too, can't seem to find a brand that works. I'll try out oem and see how they do.

    I can't find any evidence from googling, but I remember hearing that s-10s used to come with special wipers from the factory that accounted for the curvature at the end of windshield. Store bought wipers would have the very ends stick out in the air when at rest... I think I remember seeing that on my old truck

    That's right; now that I think about it the Sawzall doesn't have a light; that's my corded saw


    Watch out for porch bandits!

    Hey there, welcome! I dealt with Grapone in Bow for my last Tacoma and they were pretty good to deal with.

    Welcome to TW. I would find a few dealerships to work with, make them work against each other to get the best price. Then depending on how they treat you, would have some influence on who I gave my money to.

    Fortunately, packages are usually left at the side door to the garage which you can't see from the road. And I have a camera that would hopefully produce evidence.

    I have this guy calling me constantly about a position he interviewed for. I let him know that we offered it to someone else and wished him luck in his search. That person turned it down over money, so I left the posting up. This guy keeps calling saying he heard about that, sees the job is still posted, and wants to know what the deal is. Can he be more dense? The fact that I didn't call him when the other person turned it down means he wasn't the second pick. The fact that the posting is still up means I'd obviously rather interview more people than pick someone out of the first pool of candidates.

    Well cleary he doesn’t pick up on things. Sounds like you made a great choice NOT offering him a position.

    Oh, he already thinks that. The salary he believes he deserves is 50% higher than our cap for that position but "since he's out of work we could probably come to some sort of agreement."

    With a 'tude like that, it kinda makes you wonder why he left his last position. (did he jump or was he pushed)
