New England B.S. Thread

We didn't need one for renting from home depot in the past so I'm honestly not sure

 

Would be nice. My tundra underneath isnt the prettiest but my tacoma still looks pretty good for the most part, at least as far as rust goes

 

i called local rental, they dropped one off. called them when they were done and they took it away. I had it for a month. this is in mass and never heard anything about a permit.

 

The place I rent from does them in house, they don’t take long to get. I did rent a mini a couple years ago and it wasn’t required.

 

.

Underside on mine is pretty nice but lots of brake line brackets and bolt heads look sad.

Failed at putting in my new abs sensor I broke a couple weeks ago. Snapped putting it in. Guess I'll be more careful next go. Swapped spindles, I can't believe how hard the sensors on mine were to remove. I wish I had just got new ones to begin with.

 

good to know, I’ve been looking at a mini to do some garden beds that I got a $6800 quote on… I figure I can do it myself for 1/6 the cost using some vacation time while my folks are in town.

 

Plus, you get to play around with heavy equipment!

 

They do that if you don't us the parking brake all the time. They probably do it even if you do, but it takes longer.

 

Mine looks decent since everything is covered in black wool wax, but i can tell you the underside of the cab was getting ugly and theres a fair amount of rust on parts.

I know, which I do use it. I think the previous owner never used it and it froze back then. Its had ebrake issues since I bought it almost 3 years ago

 

Morning fellow dingleberries.

 

Here's some B.S. ?
What's the biggest package you ever had go missing?

Mine is happing now... 130# pallet with steel tube bumper attached.(Warfab phantom). Went missing from the dock in PA on Friday.. How? WTF? Just seems huge to lose

 

I'll tell you how. One of the warehouse guys has a tacoma. The pallet falls off the truck and magically into the back of his truck. #lost

 

Yep. My thoughts exactly

 

Morning hipsters.

A buddy of mine ordered a super crazy lithium-ion deep cycle battery from somewhere in the far East this spring. 36v 210 amp hour battery, it was almost $4000 and about 110lbs. Made it's way almost to his house when it was lost by Fed Ex heavy freight. I don't get it either, seems like sticky fingers to me but that's kind of an odd item to steal.

 

I forget where, it may have been on here or IH8mud. But one vendor was saying they changed their packaging to have their logo or something on it instead of plain boxes. They said that the quantity of "lost" packages went up some stupid % vs their historical average. When they switched back to unmarked plain boxes their quantity of lost packages miraculously went back to the same relatively low % that it was prior to the fancy boxes with logos. Correlation isn't causation, but that would be good enough proof for me.

 

Warfab did

 

Didn't one of yall own this truck about a year ago?
@tacobell007 ?

 

I would be calling the freight company and asking them to do an investigation.

 

I traded mine in almost 3 years ago for the tundra. Balise held onto it, did the frame, and sent it to auction and it ended up in CT at a family owned dealer lot. It had 225k when I traded it in, different wheels, headlights, and no cap. So I can't say for sure. Mine was also lifted

 

I called this morning, and have been sending emails. Really just a waiting game now. Didn't ask for an investigation.. Figured they would do one anyway
