I just went through the ordering process with that dealership in Iowa. Almost too good of a deal to pass up. Just have to wait the 6-9 months. Or possible longer due to this strike. I will decide on Monday if I can’t find someone willing to deal on one this weekend.

If you are financing, some will sell for MSRP, but then they are jacking up the interest rate big time.

Ya I can get one for 1000 under msrp and an 8% interest rate. But with 2024s coming out I’m not paying extra or full price on a 23. I’m also kicking around the gmc at4 but not sure I’m ready to make that kind of change in my life.

That’s what I’m finding out. 

I’m new truck shopping. Is anyone getting less than msrp on the ones on the lot?

Not the best comparison photo's - but here are some before and after...i haven't towed it yet with my motorhome - I did the flip a few months back.

I was worried it was going to look stupid, not that it matters, but still...It doesn't look that bad and I'm happy with it.  I don't bottom out when leaving my street (back corner would drag) - and am hoping if I hit soft sand it will not be what drags me down.

I've been stuck once in my motorhome (Gordon's) - and the trailer was dragging - if it wasn't dragging it,  I most likely would have made it through the soft patch as I was only 10ft from hard pack. Well worth the 200 bucks and time in my opinion...

One potential issue is if you double as a car hauler and tow lowered cars - cars will bottom out easier given the ramp is a bit steeper.

 

 

 

 

 

How high did it lift yours? I want to do mine so I can get 16” wheels and better tires in there.

Everything said here is solid advice, I also just bought a fractal trailer last season,  seems solid for the cost. 97" door opening and no cables on the door is super nice touch. E track on the floor is the only way to go in my opinion. I've had it in 3 trailers now. Load the car, figure out where it is going to sit, marke the floor and put the e track under the tires. When the car pulls in the strap goes over the tire. Super easy and fast, and secure. 

Post some pics of that set up please. I’ve been contemplating doing the same thing. 

Football Saturday. I’m coaching my younger son who plays corner/qb. And then my older son just got moved from DE to MLB. Excited to watch him hand out some big hits.

There is a real easy solution to that.......... just plunk down $200K for a new one with more headroom.  LOL.

 

You can get one for 200k?

You have zero empirical data, that you’re silly helmet law for people in cars is less dangerous not more dangerous than the way they were designed.
 

What would make the dunes a lot safer actually is if we added another hundred dollars onto the season pass hired some more officers to enforce DUI laws, and get all the drunk a holes out of the dunes and into jail, where they belong

 

 

The only thing that really worries me out in the dunes, his head on collisions, and those are almost always caused by alcohol or drugs like marijuana

 

 

Damn I resemble that drunk pothead comment🤷🏽‍♂️

I may want them. How are the tires?

The AVP tournament is going on right now in Manhattan beach. I’m supposed to hit the Charger game at Sofi later today. Californians know how to hurricane.

Any chance you still have the stock ls3 intake manifold you'd sell?  Looking at buying a crate ls3 and I'll need that, fuel rails etc @Schnitzel

I actually have all that for you. 

I was planning on doing a wedding ceremony there next year. Just started the planning portion. So sad for the residents of Maui. 

I actually looked at it very seriously today. We have been considering fleeing California and that house fits the bill. Just too soon for me with too many moving pieces. Good luck with the sale.

So are the LIV golfers allowed to play in the PGA championship.  I have not been following golf closely.  

 

They are. The PGA championship is an independent event. 

I’m in Boise at my nephew’s college graduation. Boise is kind of cool city. 

Planning on showing up Wednesday night and and leaving Thursday afternoon.
