    I've heard of people shipping through Fastenal, but I've had no experience using them. I know there is one right on the W. Bridgewater / Easton line on 106, but I don't know if they do anything shipping related.

    Thanks. I don't know if they are open today either. I just spent some time and wrapped everything in cardboard after zip tieing everything together. Off to the USPS first to see if they can do it

    Hell yeah I am! Don't forget the sun chairs, cooler of Capri sun/mini-Gatorades, and orange wedges!!!

    I haul the heavy stuff because Capri sun, Gatorade, and orange slices make America run; the all new 2005 4Runner with available rear entertainment center, built in waste bin in the back of the center console, and spill proof cloth seating. THE truck for getting soccer practice done.


    I prefer hauling a trailer anyway. If it rusts out, I don't care. It has it's own suspension. It doesn't make my springs sag like some people here... Don't care.

    The husky liners certainly help keep the interior clean though! Since I switched from the factory floor mats, I am amazed at how much salt and water would usually be absorbed by my rugs after just a normal commute!

    I'm 99% sure I called that guy and he told me the cap was sold. If he re-posted it, it makes me wonder if he's running a scam... Oh well, ship has sailed at this point, my hard tonneau is on it's way! We loaded up the cab with all our stuff and were able to fit everything so with the bed being secure, we should have plenty of room. I'm thinking of selling off my trailer, sick of paying excise tax and registration fees, and keeping my bed open and usable for hauling (plus I have an auto slide window I actually want to be able to use) :D
    I hear ya on the trailer, just sucks if I want to stop on my way home from work and not being able to haul things because I need the trailer. I made due with the cap and it worked out very well.

    You're definitely right on Husky liners. Those were the first things I bought for the new truck. I only bought the fronts though... I'll get the rears later on. My old Husky liners lasted over 6 years and were still in great shape when I traded the truck.

    Well holy shit! My turbo tax app on my phone estimated roughly a $600 return.. Then I rummaged through some papers and I found a tuition form and they bumped me up to $1,560! That almost pays off my loan!!!!


    Yeah man!!!! I love it!

    So today was a productive day for me...
    It was cold out but I did a bunch to the truck. As some of you may know, I purchased a black ARE cap last week. Made it water tight with weather strip. Then proceeded to add LED light strips in the cap. I found the idea from an F150 site... Thanks Mike
    http://www.f150online.com/forums/be...hting-install-w-z-series-cap-topper-pics.html
    Here are a few picture of how my new setup turned out..

    Also, Remember a few weeks ago I asked about that Audiovox remote start? While wiring the LEDs it hit me why the remote start would not work. The 3rd kill switch under the hood was not tripping. So I fixed that and now have remote start capabilities.
    So Psyched!!!!!:D:D:rolleyes::p

    I'm having a great night! Sort of sad beginning to the story but a cool ending. Kendra's grandfather passed away a little while ago unexpectedly but recently, her grandmother was going through all his stuff and found 2 old double barrel shot guns. Since I'm the only one in the family with a license, I 'inherited' them. Stopped by a dealer to see what they were and what they were worth. One is meh but one will only appreciate in value.
    Looks awesome! Nice work :thumbsup:
