North East CraigsList finds

im desperate for some OT.. other than that, I havent been shopping for much since my truck is "done"

 

"Done" says the guy with 3 sets of LCAs at home. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's the best joke I've heard on here all day!!!!!!

 

That a project. But they're not going on my truck.

 

Ohhhh, I thought you were putting them on yours. My Bad Dawg.

 

So id be set to reach 400k miles

 

The ARE dealer near me quoted me a V series starting at 1600 before options. I think with carpet, light, sliders and screens it was around $2,000 (that may have also been with the fold-down cabside window, can't remember). I wasn't taking notes because at that point I was already thinking of buying used. If you want, I'll call them back and get a firm quote for what you want.

 

Could you not save some $ by carpeting yourself? Like spray adhesive and automotive carpet? I could see where working upside down would be annoying

 

My MGM cap is carpeted, lighted, and had sliding side windows, and roof tracks. I busted out the back window and paid 905 for a new one. I asked if it was even worth it to pay that much (I paid 550 for the cap). He told me the cap would be over $3,000 new w/ all the options I have on it. These things are expensive.

 

Last year, I was quoted $2,600 for the new A.R.E. all tricked out. I think it was the EVO model? I’m still saving up for it.

 

Not mine but local if anyone needs a hand with pick up/hold.

Gotta wonder why they bought a pro and then took off the only thing that makes it a pro

 

They just wanted the badges and embroidered head rests. Seriously though, what a waste of money.

 

Base model or sport next time, for me

 

Don't forget the headlights that light up and say "Pro"

 

Are those really necessary? As if everyone didn't know from the badges

 

Also thinking about an SR5 for the next go round. I figure I might as well save the money on packaging and buy the mods i want. The E-locker used to persuade me to the OR, but I'd rather re-gear and lock for the money saved over the OR package.

 

And ive made it this far without blind spot monitors and Bluetooth radio too

 

Well..bluetooth is necessary. I've got my ipad connected to the truck and use it all of the time for a lot of different stuff. However, the driving nannies I can DEF. do without. I hate them. (and don't have them)

 

I just recently bought a Bluetooth FM transmitter. I only have 2 speakers and 2 tweeters in my truck. And they're ok. Ill be ok with FM radio for a long time

 

The cost of the carpet wasn't all that much. And considering how much of a pain in the a$$ it is to do it yourself it seemed worth it...if I am going to spend that much on a new cap.

Also, I have three little kids so there's never enough time for anything so I need to allocate my time to stuff that my wife appreciates (e.g. redoing the screen porch) rather than working on the truck.
