Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Sounds like a good trip. I grew up north of Chicago and wanted to give that little tidbit just in case.

When I was a kid, I took a trip to the up with my aunt and uncle. Beautiful country. The thing I remember most was being amazed seeing the crawdads in the river by the cabin we were staying at.

 

I could really smell the smoke today.

 

It's bad down here. Looks like a thick, yellow fog. Ominous and apocalyptic.

Don't hold me to it but I think @tcBob can make someone else OP if that's what we wanted

 

Op was last seen on the forum 4/14 but his last post in this thread looks to have been 12/3/2015.

 

Hit up a mod and have someone else, or you, be the new op.

 

If it was that soon maybe tag him and ask for the poll or to takeover

 

Us on the east coast can't have all the fun. Gotta share with others...

 

@Jrs13086

 

Does anyone know of a shop that rebuilds coilover/shocks in CT?

 

@Roody might but I just learned Built for the East in Ma does.

 

Negative, sorry I can't help

In my (limited) experience shocks are always best when the original manufacturer does the rebuild, but that experience is limited to the ATV/UTV world. Can't attest to the truck side of things but I'd reach out to Brett at The Custom Shop in Queens and he might be able to steer you in the right direction.

 

I actually gave Brett a call and he knows of no one either . Thanks

 

Ah bummer well at least worth the call

 

If you can deal with the downtime and shipping, there's always accutune

 

I looked into accutune and downsouthmotorsports but they have a 3 week turn around time for the shocks that’s after they received them so given I’m in the east coast I’m looking at a month minimum

 

Yeahhh it's not ideal

 

Free to a good home...

Ive got a 10yo Undercover Flex Tri fold Tonneau cover that needs some love but is totally usable. It shifted off my truck and hit the ground when my truck got T-boned but there isnt any noticeable damage to it. I got a new replacement Undercover armor flex tonneau from my insurance claim so I figured I would pay it forward with my old one. Best thing with the Undercover brand is that they don't rest on the cab itself (like Bakflip), they are supported by their own shocks.

I did some work to the old tonneau last summer reapplying heavy glue to all of the trifold joints/cable pull trays and replaced the rubber molding. You will need to do some work with the mounting points where the shock arms connects to the cover when its folded up to the cab area. Those got old and rusty but still worked holding the cover up. I will take some pics when I get a chance. The old cover is sitting in the back of my truck after I picked up my truck from the body shop. Id rather offer it up than taking it to the dump right away.

You will get the tri fold, mounting rails, and all other hardware. Any replacement parts can easily be purchased online. Let me know. This is for a 5' bed
