Looks good! Many of those $300-range tonneaus work well. Mine's been great so far.

The cast off from the chip-seal process (Read: Those orange signs warning "Fresh Oil") was the bane of our windshields' (yes, plural possessive; we went through many)existence when we lived in Montana.

I have this, and it's great. Really a no-brainer.

Ain't physics great? I imagine that Ford (and every other manufacturer that offers one with their own branding) tested this more times than we can probably imagine. Anyone here remember IKEA's "Mobelfacta" (sp?) testing demos from the 90s, where they had drawers mechanically open and close...

Sorry, meant to specify the mid-1910s, before there was any real competition. Prior to Ford's use of standardized parts (and the assembly line, of course), most cars were essentially hand-built.

Too soon to tell for sure.

It's been just over a week since i got the Defender2s installed. Delightful!

Henry Ford relied on word-of-mouth for the Model T. He never spent a dime on adverts for that particular car. And one other interesting fact: beginning in 1915 (I think that's when production had really ramped up, might be 1916), a worker on the assembly line could buy a Model T with four months...

I would add that if it's salt water, a freshwater rinse would go a long way to ease your worries before returning the kayak to the bed.

Haven't we all...

Getting Michelin Defender2s installed at Costco this Friday. Great promo netted $720 (+ tax, of course) out the door. I have alignment appointment scheduled for right after the install. 🙂

Another quick update: after the buckets of snow here in Philly, not a drop of moisture under the tonneau! And it cleans off so easily!

Methinks this NEEDS to be purple shag...

I got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NQTNJVH?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1 Not a perfect fit like the one @JTBII posted, but I like the textured surface, and the steering wheel heat (if you've got it) does indeed penetrate. These are 14.5-15" (NOT 15.5 as it...

Always check the washer fluid before anticipated snow/rain/dust driving. The Holy Trinity of windshield grime that's not bird- or insect-related.

I'm guessing it's pretty tough to park the 350 at work with the camper. 😜

My favorite quote about physics comes from...wait for it...Bugs Bunny (and I paraphrase): "This defies the laws of physics. Unfortunately, I never studied law." And Bugs's inertia corollary (not paraphrased): "It's amazing how hard these cartoon trees really are."

This week the temperatures here in Philly have been in the 45-50F range. Now averaging 39-41 mpg consistently (instead of 33-35), even with winter-formulated gasoline. This truly makes me smile.

Nice! However, given the widespread paint complaints, perhaps "under the knife" is not the best way to put it.
