    I wouldn't, but I know some friend's friend that would do it for me. Hell I need to buy some tools from Home Depot bro for upcoming camping trips.

    I’ve thoroughly enjoyed having USAA for my personal auto and homeowners insurance. The website and app are great and their customer service is second to none.

    I’m a commercial insurance broker and work with dozens of different auto insurance companies and I like to think I know what to look for in an insurance carrier.

    Exactly. I went GEICO because of that very reason. And they didn't bat an eye when I told them about my mods, and that it's a part time off road vehicle. Told them I wanted a little extra coverage for the add-ons. No problem.

    Yep several auto loans, credit cards, renters insurance and auto insurance with them....haven’t really had any problems. And I’ll agree, their customer service is legit. I had one customer service lady last year who literally sounded like my grandma from Texas who was baking a Sunday pie while giving me insurance updates. Nicest CS person I have ever spoken with, anywhere.

    Yes, i had the sliding side windows. I confirmed with a local shop that i could add windoors and then ordered from them. Install was pretty straightforward but definitely a 2 person job.

    Truck was running fine but needed a tire rotation. Bought tires about 5 or 6 thousand miles back. It was due. Slightly over by recommendations.

    Drove away. Got on the freeway and it wasn’t right. Ok, maybe shitty part of freeway. Drove home from Dublin. Still bugging me. Back again this morning. Got in the truck and the TPMS light is on, as well. Sheesh. We shall see if these guys are any good. Yesterday was Strike One.

    Yup, also got USAA home and auto. When I got rear-ended in my truck they were awesome to deal with. Had an estimate at a shop for repairs and money in my bank account within 28 hours.

    That's what I did. Added coverage for the bumpers, DIY sliders (material cost), suspension, and my cap (after I broke the window). Annual premium went up something like $28. @Speedo has GEICO. I think he's happy with the way they handled his accident.

    Second times a charm. Rollin' on down the road. Confidence re-established at Americas Tire. The Manager helped me directly. Good move.

    I have a leer and paid $229+tax per windoor. They quoted me $70 more if i wanted windoors with sliders. I opted for no sliders and to do the install myself. Also a plus was i ordered both wi doors and new latches and they were able to get them all keyed the same.

    I called a couple places close to me. This was the best deal i could find and the place was helpful. One place i called didnt seem to want to help me after i said i wanted to do the install myself.
