    What year truck and what bumper? Good off-road shops are hard to find around here. If there's a free Saturday when you and some other local TW members are free then we usually get together and pitch in to get things done on each others' rigs. Good people on here. Oh, & welcome! Where in CT are you?

    Good morning and happy first day of June.
    Got home yesterday and was beat so I didn't install the remaining pieces of the flares or do anything to the harness, I do have it partially taped.
    Just relaxed and watch some YouTube and had dinner.

    Going to have to get some car wash soap. My truck is looking dreadful.

    I know exactly what you mean.

    Totally thrown off by Monday off.

    But I'll take it, always!

    Good morning CT.
    Bought stuff for my car wash on Saturday, two kinds of soap (one is a stripping soap), drying towel, clay bar kit and wax.
    Going to pick up some microfiber clothes from HF.
    I need to pull the flares so I can clean behind them when I wash the truck.

    At least someone else at work knows what a good vehicle is.

    Looks like I’m headed back to Lexus as a tech.

    I left because at the time I was working in a light duty role as a valet and I did not like it and wanted more money.
    I hurt my back and could work there as light duty or if the place was sold, I could be a tech again.
    The place was recently sold so I can work there as a tech. They are also building a new dealership.

    I'll leave where I am now because working on Jeeps/Dodge/Chrysler is not a fun job. The Nissan's are OK. Also, the flat rate pay is so convoluted that I don't know what I'm getting paid week to week.

    Long shot... always is... but have any decent off-road shops turned up in CT?

    Edit: Or, any shop competent in 4WD-focused modifications/upgrades.
