    Really??? You know I got thinking about it and I think I have had them replace at least 8 windshields over the last few years. Two on my Land Rovers, which are heated that no one else wanted to take on. I actually took one to Land Rover when one of their glass roof sections got broke and they sourced it out to some outside place and it never was right again.

    I did have a leak on an F-150 from them but they took it right in and never had any other issues with it. What are you basing such a strong opinion on? Have you had issues? Who are the professionals your referring to? When I think about who to use for this kind of work I would be surprised to learn of anyone who might do more volume or have more experience than these guys.

    I would guess that they probably do at least 40 or 50 a day at the location I use. I'm basing this on the size of their staff and the number of people in their waiting room. I actually know the guys that do my installs and I find them to be most thorough and professional. But I do admit that one bad experience can leave a pretty bad taste.

    Is it normal for a man's bottom lip to quiver and for an involuntary needy sound to come from his mouth when he sees such a fine-looking truck or a table full of parts like that? :101010: Oh and I should add, that my wife saw our exchange and I’m not allowed to play with you anymore. She said something about a friendship with people with this kind of influence could get expensive fast etc. lol

    Will the 88p fit in the large storage cubby in the bed? My girlfriend just ordered me one for my birthday (aka I ordered it and she paid for it)

    Concluded my extended brake line debacle. Went to put on extended rear lines but one was super seized. Got a new hard line and cut the old one off but ended up having to drop the tank to get the new hard line in. Next time I’ll just get a flare tool and put a new nut on the end instead of replacing the whole line. So much hassle but glad it’s done.

    I was ecstatic after that MC/booster swap so for me it was definitely exciting.

    I used to work often along side Safelite in the insurance replacement industry. Several times a week for a couple decades. They definitely knew what they were doing.

    Plugged in but you do have to swap one connector from your existing light housing.

    My only issue with these are that the bulbs that come installed in the lights aren’t great so I’ll replace those at some point

    First day on the Kokopelli Trail from Grand Junction CO to Moab UT. And well it fuckin poured last night, so the trail is a little sloppy in places.
