Clips are jerks. I ordered some and lost the bag, I just re-ordered some.

 

I have some trim inside the truck I've damaged like this. I epoxied most back, but some of it just isn't the same and I should really replace.

 

I love it when a gamble pays off...stock people...I bought the $107 Jun 5 DIS puts for $4.70 when the stock was at $112 on 4/29 believing that there was no way the earning on 5/5 would support that price...Stock is now at $98ish pre-market today...$9 in the money..I might 2x my money in 1 week!!!

 

Fortunately, I learned a lot of valuable lessons with the '18. Since that got totaled and replaced, I now have new knowledge so I know what I do and don't want to tackle with the '19 and modifications have been adjusted accordingly

 

There's a whole stock BS thread There was apparently some dude who posts on reddit using DIS options made some insane money a few weeks back. I haven't started dabbling in options yet. Maybe one day.

 

What do you guys use for day trading? I have searched for a couple of apps and seen both positives and negatives for each one.

 

Throw a dart. I like Robinhood's tools for researching, you can find a stock and then see lists it's a part of, and find similars that way. I like the "Buy/Sell" screen on Robinhood a bit better. But I use TD Ameritrade, once you get used to the layout (TD is not as user friendly as RH), I like TD better now, but still use RH to search and find similar if I'm looking for something.

 

Well called Toyota to ask questions relating to the CRC coating and they told me to contact the dealership lol. Called and their hours have probably changed due to Corona as the phone stated unavailable. I am wondering how much weight the product adds and whether or not they'd recommend it seeing as how they have seen my frame and it's spotless. Truck is already seven years old this August so in just 8 more years the warranty for the frame would be up anyhow if it gets treated.

 

Better to have it coated for just incase purposes. They normally rot from the inside out

 

I put some into various stocks from companies whose industries are heavily impacted just to play around about a month ago. Last week I was up 25% overall at one point. As of right now, I'm dead even (give or take a few pennies). My best performer is ADNT, which has just about doubled since I bought into it--they make seats for the automotive industry. Figured I'll hold them for a year and see what happens.

 

They did the CRC coating on my truck before I bought it.. useless coating - it just covered the rust and moisture locking it in. To this day I'm still pulling off strips of it with fresh rust underneath....

 

was that a paint?

 

No, more of a waxy grossness that got all over your arms anytime you tried doing anything under the truck

 

i thought waxes were better than oils for preventing rust

 

Only works if they clean the truck before they spray it.. they didn't do that to mine

 

But once again, it is better to have it docuthat they did it for the frame warranty....even if it is vrap that comes off. Than get it fluid filmed the next fall.

 

Welp. Apparently I got a little over zealous in the trails last weekend and bottomed out the tacoma. Hard. According to the toyota service dudes. LCA, etc etc a bunch of stuff hammered. I guess this will be the expensive lesson to tone it down. The cheap lesson is the dent in my rocker panel that I don't care about. I only brought it in for the 5k service not for bad news

Actually, I'll need to check if they included the body damage in their estimates in repairs, if so might not go through insurance.

 

Are the taco LCA's stamped steel or fully boxed?

 

I think boxed.

That was one of many things the service tech listed. I will get a full list and hopefully pictures later.

 

It's pretty touch to damage an LCA. Cam tabs/ cam bolts are relatively easy to mangle just due to their position. But LCA's are pretty damn stout.
