No, there were other cars blocking the only drive that those can roll out of. Besides kinda scared my work boots would get hung up in all those petals in the tunnel. Speedo goes to 220. If it was a used car though id drive the fire out if it!

Putting a new bedside on a 2008 Toyota Tundra under warranty for rust.
Pretty big spot on the inside corner of bed floor, and another is starting on the other side.
- sorry toyota guys but toyota probly wont be warrantying much after the new $17.35million, recall fine. Toyos have really bad corrision problembs of late, and many other probs are starting to plague them.

Seems that way! It says texas, but I'm sure its enginered and specd. Overseas.
- We see more quality related problems than with any other manuf. .
I did not realize how flimsy the beds were till today. Without the tailgate in the upwards position, you could easily misalign the whole rear of the bedside with VERY minimal effort.

Thought this was funny, someone at work snapped this pic of me goofing off, and my boss just texted it to me saying "Merry Christmas". We had been putting together a bunch of bikes together that the dealership bought to give to kids.

Well the dealership I work for is in Midwest City right by Tinker AFB, I'm not shure but I seen a paper tag on it in front of the dealership yesterday, so someone with more money than sence.
-Also here in oil country, there are more people here that could afford it than you would think. We didn't have a recesion here like most the rest of the country did.

That explains a lot. I thought Chandler was in the panhandle, but now knowing it is located near OKC makes sense.
I spent a lot of time in OKC while attending the FAA Academy there - yeah there are some rich people in OKC and Tulsa.

My last weekend project
EXTANG 62725 Tri Fold. Very easy to install after we got the correct piece. Factory screw up the first time but all turned out GREAT.
Thanks to son Carl and fellow FROG Don Breed for the helping hands making the install complete.
An early Christmas present.

Looks good Bobfidy! Id love to have a bed cover, sometimes they are really handy. Could be a pain with the 5er though.

Miller.....the model I got folds up and is designed for folks pulling 5ers. If you fold up the back 2/3 of the cover there are connecters to hold it in place and the trailer would pull fine, and once you got parked it could be closed and locked. We picked this model because one of these days we want to grow up into a fifth wheel rig too.
They make them to fit Chebbies too...LOL

I was looking at the g5 bakflip and the roll and lock. I use my truck too much for one but when I get my dw a new truck ( hopefully next year) we will have to have one. She is use to here tahoe and with 3 kids she has to have somewhere to throw her junk!
Trying to talk here into a new D-max dually, but she likes the short bed 2500HDs with the 20"s as she hates longbeds.
