    Lol so far I think I've done pretty well emptying out vehicles before trading, though I must admit I've been lazy when it comes to pulling aftermarket parts off as it's kind of hard to sell parts where I'm at anyway. Also I think the guys in here would get mad at me if I showed up by you before I meet them lol

    I wonder if a silver sky topper would look okay on a cement truck?

    It would probably look weird at first. A black topper would probably look decent. Oh oh or you could get a gray Softopper

    I just can't get behind those soft toppers. Not really a fan of their look or their function

    I think they're more useful than a hard topper. At least with the softopper I don't lose use of my bed and my stuff stays dry even when driving through a storm. Wish I had gotten the softopper first instead of the hard topper I used to have. Would've saved a bunch of money for other truck stuff. The only downside (to me at least) with a softopper is the no real security

    This is kicking my ass. I work the Oshkosh area every day and can't think of which intersection this is. It's obviously at I41. Looks like a roundabout, which would be either 9th Ave or Hwy 21, which are the only 2 exit/entrances with roundabouts.

    I deliver/pick-up @ a couple of Oshkosh Defense operations. Badass vehicles. And those tires are heavy AF!

    Nice! I have a solar array going on my roof in October. Hope they don't need to use screws that large.

    Would have felt guilty sitting inside all day so I went for a quick windy and drizzly outing. Actually enjoyed it as I caught a smallmouth that wasn't all that huge but he fought spectacular, especially in a kayak. Also saw four water pitbulls hanging out together and they were grunting and sniffing at me.

    Do it! When each and every single tool has its place it's an incredible feeling. Cuts down on frustration and time spent working on things.
