    Morning! Anyone in the CT area (specifically south east) doing Fluid Film applications? I reached out to Surfandturf but it doesn’t look like he’s doing it this year. I know I’m a little late but still really want to get it done. I’ve done it twice a year since the new frame and don’t want to ruin my streak!

    Have any of you guys cruised the dirt roads at cockaponset state forest in Chester? Looking to take the GF on a light off road fall cruise.
    Open to other places too. I am in Central CT.

    You can go to the Fluid Film website and put in your exact location in the Undercoating Locator section to see if there's any in your area.

    @octrockville

    Surfandturf has been doing my truck for a few years, and because of Matt my frame passed inspection , and the service manager was impressed at the condition because of FF.

    I'm going to get four cans of FF and touch up the frame the best i can.

    Why take a chance, and with four cans of FF it can only help preserve what Matt accomplished in the past years.

    So here's a shout out to Matt , " THANK YOU" for your help in the past preserving our Tacoma.

    Getting new tires next week.

    I'm going with the Cooper P265/65/17 AT3-4S.
    I had the earlier version when they first came out (15 years ago) .

    For those who know me know that my off road experience is limited to turning in to my driveway so these tires will more than cover my needs.

    Getting them now as the 50,000 tires that are on here now have 71,000 as of this morning and with all of the expected shortages I'm not waiting.

    Even though the tires are made in the USA the chemicals may not be.

    The dealer said they have a delivery coming in and if they have to he would get tires directly from the factory

    Plus the tires are a early Christmas present to me from me, and includes a rebate, $70.00
