    Have the Yotawerx tune and Magnuson super charger. So, can't offer any opinion on kdmaxx. Was about to offer ride, but definitely would be a let down if you do anything less.

    Not sure if this has already been posted, but local shop is working to etch cats to help deter theft. Free and first come first served. Not sure if the link will open, so ill attach a screenshot.

    Etching is a great idea, but these idiots steal under low light and wouldn't care about it being etched (since they're already under the vehicle before they even know that). Just not sure it's a deterrent since cut is still cut. They caught that group recently who were the stealers and buyers....nothing but time to scuff that right off. They need to go after the people buying (and I'll have to look for the link on the case) but it proved to catch the whole ring of criminals.
    Personally, an anti theft device would be the vehicle automatically rolling back 10 ft to either drop the vehicle off the jack and kill the perpetrator or running them over. That's my version of anti theft.

    I'd like to watch a video of them attempting to steal my cats, only to realize there are skid plates in the way.

    That's a horrible idea. What time?
    I'd like to rig up some flash bangs and dye packs from the banks. Maybe a little skunk scent as well, but that might be a little too close the truck.

    I'd like the same, only for them to realize there are no cats.

    So, let's play a game. I have a basement that I just completed, but left the shower to be done. I'm not a plumber and have never tiled, so I thought I would leave it to a professional. Pictures are below. It's roughed in, frame is there, piping is there, drain is there, no shower door (just a curtain) and no special tiles or anything. Just simple keep it simple because it's a spare basement bedroom and bath.
    What do you think it would cost to complete this shower in dollars? Located in Stafford, No rush job. I don't know how to do a multiple choice query, so I'll just ask for a response.

    I am the last person to provide any sort of home improvement information, but couldn't you do some sort of drop-in for cost savings?

    Not sure, but as you can see it's a small shower insert.

    I think you have to have the concrete boards and such for a drop in. I dunno....but the 3 quotes I got were all over the place, so thought you all would get a laugh out of it.

    It's typical. I haggle with these folks from time to time and have won the bidding war. If they're hurting they'll take whatever work they can get. Obviously, it's gambling for quality. We got quotes for our deck. I hate doing it, but these dudes sometimes come in at insanely high prices for a reaction.

    Cool deal on the XR. I like it.

    as for the said bike…. Gone! Sold after they got it together and on the floor, minutes after the guy sent me a pic of it. I can’t win! :annoyed: Might just have to stick with the black fragment grey. there are a couple here and there. Just gotta figure out price and how far I wanna drive to get it.

    It was HH. The place is 10-15 min from the house. I’m getting to the point of buying anything right now, being able to not find what I want.

    I do like the T7 a lot, but will feel like crap if I tear it up. The smaller I wouldn’t mind as much if it gets banged up some.

    Wonder if it's a Quigley. Not even sure they're still in business. They were a little pricey.
