    Fathers day is coming up and you need a gift Hint Hint:thumbsup::D
    You can tell May that I told you to buy your own gift, but if she starts going east on 94 let me know

    Yes.. yes.. you're on the right track now! :devil:

    This is pretty much exactly what happened to me in 2020. Basically, if I skip a few steps, it just didn't make sense to have armor without 285's.

    Yes, please! What's the cost?

    Well played! :thumbsup:

    Tire frustration... Wife said "buy some tires" and I am hot on it (yes, I realize she meant for the CR-V, but a stray 35 or two won't hurt), but I cannot find Kenda Klever M/T2s... yes, there are M/T's but I definitely want the M/T2s. Patience is lacking... The Michelin Defenders are no problem it seems, but those Kendas... (I am sure @CygnusX191 is saying something about karma...)

    What are these padded rocks that you speak of?
    Where does one find these padded rocks?

    Question: I found a softopper on marketplace that I'll be getting on Thursday. I currently have an OEM tri-fold tonneau on. Am I going to have to find the plastic bedrail sides that haven't been cut, or will my cut ones that allowed the tri-fold tonneau to latch, work?

    That reminds me, we used to do that with the race buggies. We used old 60's bumper jacks. Just for the hell of it, I googled that and found a bunch on fleaBay. Holy Hell! People are insane!! They want anywhere from $90 to $190 with shipping of $30 on up, without the base (another $40 + shipping) for a rusty old POS that the spring will probably break the first time you use it (which they were prone to do if they started getting rusty inside)!!

    You need new tires because the tread on yours is worn out(sorta)

    I can certainly swing that. ;)

    If I recall correctly, you're not available for the June trip?

    If I recall right, my Softopper needs the bed rails roughly 10 inches from either end of the bed
