    That's why I got to the event at 11am...for parking last year.

    Also, there is no public restrooms...I used the golf course. I walked through the shop and found the latrine towards the back.

    I bubble-wrapped the OEM Halogen/LEDs that came with my 2021 TRD Sport and put them in a tub for ease to secure in my back seat--I'm selling them!

    I'll have an attendance list (as I did with DE Meet) so everyone can have a chance to meet me and the rest of the TW members.

    Note: any of the proceeds from selling my truck stuff will be split between the "Scrovak's wife's summer birthday surprise" fund and the "Scrovak needs to upgrade his suspension" fund :rofl:

    Good morning everyone!

    I'm looking to basically be rid of my OEM Halogen/LED headlights...we can discuss in person.

    With that said, I also have OEM Mud Flaps that I cleaned up and put in the tote with the headlights...decent cash offers please.

    Those tie down rings that come off after installing Bed Stiffeners are also in there if anyone wants them.

    I'll have a hodge-podge of parts to peruse.

    Remember...Dalessandro's only takes cash.

    My order: Steak with provolone and onions/peppers.

    I read in a WTB post that you had some LED pods with some broken fins that you'll unload for free? I could be persuaded if the price is right

    It's a pair of amber diode dynamics SS3 pro fogs. One of them has a few of the cooling fins broken off, but the other is intact. I'm debating on holding onto them to augment reverse lights when I get my bed rack, but I, too, could be persuaded lol

    I still have you guys on the list...so that's cool you are able to make it!

    As for Chubby's....that's across the street from Dalessandro's...yes?

    I heard last year you could use their bathrooms if you buy something...didn't know the dollar amount.

    If the Golf Clubhouse doesn't bathroom block, I suppose Chubby's can be last resort.

    Five years ago, I needed a bathroom break while DoorDashing in that area and walked into Chubby's after the gas station next door wouldn't let me use their bathroom; I was told I couldn't use the bathroom unless I bought five bucks worth of food at a minimum. I had no cash on me, I refuse to use ATMs unless they're surcharge-free, and I was not about to put five bucks of soda on my credit card.

    I am autistic, I had to piss, and I got very angry; I stormed out of the store, and attempted to slam the door. Some guy, who I'm assuming was the owner, leapt up from his stool, stopped the door from slamming shut, and chased me halfway across the parking lot screaming profanities.

    Thankfully, my Taco was parked next door at the gas station; I am 99% sure that this guy didn't see my truck, and I don't think he would recognize me if I went in there. I plan on buying lunch for me and girlfriend, so that should solve the "restrooms are for customers only" issue.

    One of lesser reasons that I refuse to DoorDash in Philly is because restaurant owners are often total nazis about bathroom usage. On that day back in 2019, I drove around the corner to a bank where a Philly cop pointed me directly to the bathroom.

    I remember going into that gas station next to Chubby's...guy told me they had no public bathroom.

    Headed to the golf course, I asked someone coming from the golf area and they told me about the bathroom in the clubhouse.

    It was a fortunate sequence of events in that regard.

    I grew up in LA but left home in 1986 to join the USAF; 25 years later I end up retired military and living on the opposite coast.

    Small town America here in Delaware suits me just fine. Delaware Beaches keeps this west coast guy optimistic in the Summer months. lol
