    I'm hoping the cover helps with my carwash issue. I could drive through a hurricane with no water but the car wash blower always gets me water to the point that I drop the glovebox and yank out the filter.

    Ever had the windshield replaced? Read there’s some clips that the gorillas break off that can cause leaks

    No. But I've found out recently there was a TSB with an updated cowl piece. I'm long past being eligible and I read the part is $320ish.

    It's only at the carwash

    Same! I’d try silicone or the like but either way water inside sucks.
    I have to get the wife’s car in for a windshield.. it’s leaking and only a year old.

    I never happened until a couple years ago when the carwash got rebuilt. Has to be something about the angle and power of the new dryer

    Does this look familiar? I heard from a birdie you've already moved it twice.

    Yep, he was only asking $200 for it. I couldn't pass that up.

    Something like that. Hes confident he can get it on the trailer and Im planning on moving it on pipes at my place. Still not 100% sure where I want it though.

    I'm sorry I'm busy that day, giving myself a chemical burn. Much better than dealing with that shenanigans.

    Put some metal pipe down and use it as rollers.

    Bristol Brewery is about a 3hr drive each way for me. Little too much for just a brewery trip but I’m down if it’s a off-road/brewery trip.

    But if it is brewery only on a Saturday then maybe I will head up to Boston after n stay overnight.

    Was told by a 4Runner guy this morning they (Facebook group) hit the RI spot Sunday… asked if I’d like to go next time. Anyone been since the shitshow?

    Parking lot trip. Might convince some to go to Freetown or the RI spot, but nothing planned.

    No, not Freetown. The RI spot is on the other side of the state along with some powerlines. The trails were never legal, really. Couple years back there was some, we'll call them, "legal run ins" (and unfortunately someone did die after a rollover out there one night). They cracked down, but haven't been as heavy handed as of late. They'll probably send some DEM officers out on the first couple nice weekends when it tends to get TOO rowdy, but in the meantime, it's been pretty accessible.

    I'm down for a trip. I missed one two or three weeks ago that was supposed to go out there, haven't been in a while. March 9/10 weekend? I can set up a PM.

    Edit - Freetown is lame. It's a bunch of FSRs and that's it. It's great if you want to get out and get some dirt therapy and live nearby ( :wave: ) but I wouldn't come from far away to go there. The other trails in RI (the less than legal ones) ARE worth the trip.
