    Thanks but it broke the tab holes on the inside of the bumper as well as breaking the tabs off the bumper cover thing. I ordered a bumper and it should be ready in a few months. I'll just wait it out in the mean time.

    Anybody in the market for IR lasers? I have a couple of Steiner devices I'm considering moving out of my inventory. DBAL i2 (IR laser/illuminator) and an OTAL-C IR laser. I figured I'd check here before posting in the firearms section. If there is interest, I'll list them in the classifieds with pictures, etc.

    Popping in from Georgia for some recommendations. My wedding anniversary is coming up. I lived in the Woodville, Wakulla Springs, Ocala, Crawfordville, PCB areas as a kid but, besides passing through, I've not spent any time in the area since I was a kid. I spent a lot of weekends at Alligator Point, Cape San Blas, Shell Point, and various fish camps in the area. That whole area was still old fishing camps and towns when I was a kid. It was untouched by the real estate boom. I really want to go back in time and experience Old Florida as I knew it, as best I can.

    Anyway, I'm making plans for my wedding anniversary in December and would like to get down to the Apalachicola area and I'm looking for good recommendations for lodging, food, and activities in December. Looking for some quaint, private lodging that's walkable to food & drink. I'd love some fresh raw oysters but I understand the bay is closed to oyster harvesting for several years. Are there any fishing/boating excursions in the winter months? We kept a boat at Econfina fish camp for years but we sold it a couple of years ago.

    Thanks in advance!

    I got in the T4R that afternoon and started it up and the Ultraguage immediately started bitching at me that it was 150* inside the cabin and that was outside its operating range of 140*.

    I thought TW would be a safe space from spam bots soliciting favors of the flesh. Apparently not as I got two DMs from such just now.

    Is anyone else in FL BS getting these? The DM had a number of users included.

    E: the mods are aware of it.

    Just got my truck back from the dealership. Took it in for rear diff whine/attenuation. They replaced the rear differential, leaf springs, and cab mounts because, and I quote, "there are TSBs open on those as well and we don't want them to bother you down the line. "

    Who do they think they are? Where do they get off being a nice dealership? I'm pissed I have nothing to be upset about. I don't go to the dealership to get quality service, I do it to get verbally abused.
