    I ordered OEM tri fold cover right after I bought the truck. I ordered it and picked it up and brought it home and when opened the box, there was no hardware with it and called the stealership that I bought it from, they said all the hardware comes separate and was going to cost around 2k. Returned the cover and bought the backflip mx4.
    Good luck finding the hardware!

    Edit: The whole thing, including tri fold and hardware was going to cost 2k, not just the hardware.

    Yikes!I priced out the hardware i need and it's close to $380 with shipping. I bought the cover and some hardware for $250. I remember seeing a post somewhere on TW that if you flip over the side bed rail caps there's lines that will pretty much guide you where to cut notches. I'll have to pull mine off to check. That would save $220 off my hardware costs but I'd rather trade them to someone who wanted to ditch the notched ones, than cut them. Fingers crossed.
    Side note: This northern California rain is pretty rad! Might have to head out on some fire trails this weekend! Kinda stoked

    Speaking of No More Fucks to Give. I just got this book. It's about using your fucks in a useful, meaningful way. I'm only about a quarter of the way into it. Sadly it appears I mostly already don't give a fuck. I'll still get something out of it but was hoping for more.

    That is a great book, I can’t recommend it enough. Definitely changed some day to day habits I had and how I function at work.

    Moving to the area in about a month and I’m shipping my car on a flat bed. Stuffing a ton of stuff in there and therefore am tinting my windows to hide some of the stuff.
    From what I’ve seen, back windows can be as dark as you’d like. Is it illegal to tint the front door windows? I know there’s no state inspection so how likely is a cop to stop you if the fronts are tinted?

    Don’t drive like a dick and you likely won’t get stopped. I’m going to tint front and back just for the sole reason that there’s a lot of smash and grabs around here.

    There’s nothing wrong with GAF. However, there are times you have to GZF.
