Nice small under seat bins at Walmart

[clearviewx]

So its 100°F in west Texas today. I had to hit walmart and Sam's for some food provisions. I keep a bath towel folded on the back seat drivers side. Anyhoo when I went to Sam's club, I set the perishables on my back seat on the bath towel for the ride home. When I hit walmart a found a nice folding flat milk crate type of thing made from hard plastic for $14. I put my perishables in that and set it on the back seat. The non perishable items went in the bed net under the bed cover. I also have a smaller light grey bathroom towel I keep folded on the center console lid and cover up my steering wheel when I park in the sun otherwise the steering wheel gets blindingly hot. The plus is 2 of these will fit sideways in the bed if you have the 2x6 put down in the bed slot.

What area of walmart were these in?

Why not order on-line?

Because it's not that far away and I want to GiterDun today. I bought the last of em at the other walmart today and finished my tool cabinet redo. Still none left for the truck lol.

Automotive accessories in my walmart, near all the B.S. like steering wheel covers and crap. Bottom shelf.

You too. 2024 will be here soon enough. I'm just wondering how fast they shut it down. The 23s they shut it down in about 7 days because they maxed out the amount they could build for 2023 in that time. The very day the order banks open in july, I'd get down to my dealer if I were you.

What did they use to create them on the 3d printer? What did you send them in order to create them?

You sure you’re not talking about FL heat??

Sounds like you may be near Crossville. We visited there and Clarkrange last year. Visited Rugby on the way home. Lots to appreciate with that little English pattern town. Loved it. As soon as I get my Maverick (18 months and waiting), I plan on putting that 40 mpg to work and visiting Knoxville and the smokies. I am in west-central Ohio.

You know the geo, my friend. Yep, on the Lake Tansi side just southwest of Crossville, about 8 miles from downtown. Big retirement area and we did a lot of research before moving here. I believe we have more people move here from OH and MI than anywhere else, but starting to see people move heer from all over the country, including Alaska. And yes, Rugby is a neat area to visit. Been there many times.

What most folks do not realize about Texas heat is that even if you buy a Maverick without the LUX package, you still get a HEATED STEERING WHEEL - problem is that it is the wrong time of the year LOL.

Good idea using these items.

YEP I live near Austin Texas and I used mine several times last winter. The high mpg club suggested to use it and heated seat and delay turning on cabin heat until it gets below 35°F because cabin heat used more ice time.

What? Pay for someone else's 3d printer?

If you do make it to the Knoxville area, be sure to check check out Townsend, TN - on the "quiet" side of the Smokies. (Quiet being a relative term during tourist season.) We lived there off and on for years. It used to be pretty small and mostly folks from E TN would go there. But eventually the tourists "discovered" it. It's still less crowded and hectic than G/S/PF, but not like it used to be. To get there, you go through Maryville-Alcoa if you're coming from central or west Knoxville, or cut through Wears Vally if you're in Sevierville. Wears Vally itself is one of my favorite places, right behind Cades Cove - which is easily worth a half-day visit.

We live in the mountains of TN so we do get some cold days during the winter. That heated steering wheel is amazing; never had one on our previous vehicles. The wife prefers the heated seats but give me that steering wheel any day.

Totally agree, wife told me if I wanted a new car it had to have heated seats. I never use them but was pleasantly surprised by the heated steering wheel. Got my Mav in November used it all winter.

Thanks for the info. I will be looking for places that are historical or geologically important and worthy of bucket list inclusion. These places might fit the bill. But first, the truck...lol..
