    It's possible the rates would be lower if you're in a more rural zip code since that'd probably be less likely for a claim due to lower traffic

    It just straight up isn't built for people outside of a major metropolitan area I don't think. I tried to progress beyond this and it said I would have to call them. I could see doing it for a single more expensive vehicle to drive. Like my insurance wants a lot to put another BMW on the plan but I could add Yotas all day for nothing haha. I'm only $107 a month for full coverage on all three vehicles. But the cruiser I'm going to put in Hagerty this year for more accurate payout in the event of a totaling and because it doesn't get many miles anymore.

    @Wulf asked a bike mechanic friend about your fork...

    Suntour had some issues with the preload adjusters failing. They'd turn but not actually add preload. Not sure what the test procedure for that is, but it's worth inspecting.

    Adding spacers for preload is probably fine as long as they don't interfere with other parts.

    You could maybe make a spring for a similar fork work if you want to put forth the effort in researching or contacting Suntour support. Stanchion diameter is probably the most important aspect to compatibility. Not sure what other factors to consider, as I'm not familiar with Suntour forks or with coil forks in general.

    Appreciate the 2c here lol. I'm 24 but I guess watching the straight up debauchery amongst my housemates and social circle during COVID scarred me. I'd settle into a serious relationship, I'm just not financially stable enough to commit to marriage in the near future. And I've seen enough divorces amongst my peers even at my age to be cautious.

    The money thing has held true with most older women it seems. Single moms (regardless of age) and anyone 10+ years older than me wouldn't work like you said. Life's strange.

    Tailgate doesn't match but who knows. Would've asked the guy but he was on the phone.

    I've seen frame replacements but again literally every component underneath looked brand new. Frame wasn't paint over rust either. But with your average faded paint slightly dinged up cab and bed.

    You gotta find a local yard. Shipping is gonna be factored into that and it ain't cheap.
