    Hm. I guess I should watch the news. Had no idea. o_O

    Anyone made it out to Nicholas Farm Management area in RI? Not for wheeling, but found out about it yesterday might try to make the trek out there sometime soon with the doggo. Can't wait for the rain next week to wash out the salt. Looks like RI realized they needed to use all the salt they had left on Friday night. It's like a salt flat out there :(

    Where do you work? I'm in private sector aerospace, we went on hiring freeze. Well, headcount freeze. But I think we're still looking for some positions in the union (machine operators).

    I work at CVS as an equipment operator. Maybe I'll come work for your place if they pay more.

    I've always been the type to buy and ride. Some I don't bring far but that's more because I don't trust people anyways. But man if I ever wanted the Styler now I'd have to sell a kidney.

    They've been steadily doing stuff for a few years now anyways...got to see them on the Mayhem Festival tour a few years ago finally. And same re having to order online but I always try the local places first.

    Man there's a few on my want list that are expensive..and truth be told I've dropped a fortune on rare ones in the past

    So I just went to the dealership to have my frame inspected. It failed. Looking at three months to install. While I was there, I asked about the gunmetal TRD rims. Parts guys can’t find them.

    Any ideas? Really want them

    I haven't been impressed with Weathertech mats. I've been buying Husky for my last few vehicles and they've held up great and fit really well.

    I got the fronts for my Tacoma and they worked fine, so we got the fronts for her Rav4 right when we got it. I got her the cargo liner a little later b/c she does the food shopping. Couldn't beat $25 for the rear seating area, even though we rarely have anyone there.

    I have Husky in an old truck, I purchased them first. I've bought 6 sets of Weathertechs since then, so I like them better. That said, the Toyota OE mats are very good comparably (at least for the RAV4) Had I known I would not have purchased the Weatherteachs. For my new Tacoma the Weathertechs are nicer than the Tacoma OE.

    :thumbsup::thumbsup:
    Weathertecs used to be best imo, but Husky has a newer material on their xactfit or whatever it's called thats been impressive and blows weather tech out the water. Same protection, but much nicer feel, and more malleable to conform and fit better imo. Try to find someone with a pair and check em' out!

    oh for sure. My buddy used to have some old frames in his shed and garage I wish I had kept them. Don’t even really remember them anymore. Nothing that classic but there was some gt frames.

    yeah that’s what I’m thinking. Tape up some newspaper to the truck, sand down and respray every few years. At least with diy I can source easy for touch ups.

    I try to hit the local places first too, but I need to find better local places. I used to go to Newbury comic in Providence or Boston because I could find great things there. Now, it's barely worth going to.
