Mine lives outside 24/7 so mine probably fades quicker than some

 

Sweet! I just did mine this past week too. Letting them sit more and since I'm not going off to the trails between now and next weekend I'm actually going to put them on when I get home from your place

 

Oh hey by the way remember my fun time with the dealership? Something never sat right. I said I wouldn't name them but, too bad.

After they gave me the runaround with insurance and whatnot, the next day was when I found they had cross threaded 3 lug nut/studs. I called and set up the appointment, brought it in, to their credit they took care of it. But the service advisor told me (a rough quote now since it's been a few weeks) to check them there (I had my lug wrench with me, not a stupid air gun) because it wasn't a warranty call so they were only doing it one time. I checked the 3 wheels they Nascar whipped the lugs on and they were fine after they did the studs.

What really rubbed me the wrong way was the service advisor telling me it wasn't warranty and they're only doing it once. Like, no dude, your team jacked it up, if they jacked it up again, they're doing it again.... Stand by your work, and don't trash my truck and then strong arm me into only fixing your mistakes once.

Anyway it was grieco Toyota in East providence. I think they used to be fox Toyota. Sort of grumpy because part of why I paid more for a Tacoma was 2 years of service, but hell if I'm letting them get back under the truck. If I buy another Toyota I'll go back there in a heart beat, the sales team was absolutely top notch. I went before this whole virus thing. When in for service though in the waiting area I could still see what they were doing with sales, and sales was still doing the right things. But my next ride may be a ranger, I really like those little things! Or an f150 depending how the new ones go and what engines they use. All those engines are awesome though. Am kind of sad on the 10 speed though.

Anyway yeah, grieco Toyota service, never going back. Wife was also unimpressed with her camry service there too. Sales, for sure. Never going back for service though.

 

Mine does too

 

Every time I dealt with the dealer I bought my F-150 from for service (warranty things), it was an absolute nightmare. They're hopelessly disorganized. I left them an extremely detailed negative review and when I picked up my truck from them for the last time the president took me aside and said my complaints are valid and he agreed that they didn't handle things well but if I took the review down, call him any time and he will detail my truck. Never took him up on that since there isn't really anything to detail, but I took it down. I don't feel he truly addressed any of the issues I had and have doubts about things being any different if I went back. As good as their sales department was, their service after the sale lost them any future sales from me.

 

In my case, about an hour to two hours north of Albany and east of 87 was where we were riding. All back roads, lots of farms.

 

That's how route 9 in Hudson is. Farms, green fields, open road with little traffic.

 

My truck never goes inside and the bedliner (wherever is left of it) on my sliders has never faded. Jason your inspiring me!

 

What’s the PSI on that pressure washer?
I need to get one

 

Happy Memorial Day everyone

 

Harbor Freight. It was $79 on sale. It's great. I ran it 2 hours straight. No issues. I kept expecting it to crap out or something. 1750psi

 

I just got one off Craigslist for like 50 bucks. Sun Joe sx3000 or something like that. Needs a longer hose but otherwise thing is awesome.

 

it's been many hours lol. Getting there though, when they need a respray the next time I'll probably sell them and get new ones lol

 

Could probably hook up one of those foam cannons for car washing? Should be enough

 

I have a Stanley 2100 or something like that, great for foam cannon and little stuff around the house.

 

Never mind it showed a pic of car washing

 

I want to pressure wash siding and do deck for repainting . Should be plenty

 

Anyone know of a good spot for Cedar lumber/planks in central MA? Striking out at the majors Lowe’s, HD, National, koopman, etc...

 

Don't know how far you are willing to go. Always had good luck with Doyle lumber I think it's in Lawrence might be Methuen not sure. That general area though right over the NH border on 93. Easy to get to at least.
