    It depends on how much that cardboard costs. I know you can get a sun shade at the 99 cents store. So if the cardboard was more than 99 cents, then no its not very frugal. lolol

    That's just a cardboard box to some of us.....In some 3rd world countries, that's a multi-family dwelling.....It's all about perspective.

    There's one right next to it. It doubles as a dryer rack. There's also another black Taco right behind the white one.

    I wouldn't call it a mod as more of finally cleaning up crappy oem steel rims. I went 10 years with them (winter and summer), finally spent a day grinding, sanding, painting. (used ArmorCoat primer and grey paint on the inside of the rims and Duplicolor Hyper Silver paint and clearcoat on the outside). Total Cost $35 includes the paint and 2" wire buffing wheel for the drill. approx 2 hours to prep and paint and 10 hours of watching paint dry.

    Impressive! I've seen 200lb college guys who couldn't hold 40oz of Old Swillish. How's it handle water and heat? I need a good all weather tape.
