Amazon is suppose to send a truck tomorrow to pick a return. They sent me the wrong liners 3 months back, i didn't know it because the part number on the box is correct. Wrong but similar parts inside. Usually a 30 day window to return something, but found a good number for them...that phone # took some work to track down lol. Apparently going to refund me anyway...after the fact.

We'll see if they show, the box is 4' x 2.5'...it takes up some space.

If you could use one ...
After reading the seller profile (funny as hell), I ain't calling them.
Just a little nugget of the contents:



edit,
Just noticed that it is in Petersburg and not Colonial Heights.
More likely to get robbed on the way to meet her than to actually buy the truck.
Best thing to do in Petersburg is to stay on the interstate and keep the hammer down.

I must getting grounds confused with Brown wire, You did say it was brown wire earlier...

Yea Im out....can't tell which is which on this end. 3 way in the mix as well .. fun stuff!
It is indeed carbon. It's an old azz GFCI outlet - which is the reason it has all of the weird wires coming out of it.

Watched half of it so far.
They couldn't deliver it when they originally intended to because the State of Utah had that dips4it fish and game officer come after them for the quagga muscle ordeal. I don't know if you saw the clip of the upcoming episode, but they get pulled over pulling the yellow submarine. Merlin is in the back seat and tells the cop that the boat is "clear full of quagga muscles". LOL.

I had them reimburse me for a brake drum that was damaged right out of the box... over three years after I bought it. They gave me a credit to buy a replacement.



The damage:

Thought I pop in and say Hi. How's everyone doing? LOL

ENOUGH! We've been buried in snow since Thursday evening. Where I live we've gotten 44-45 inches. The airport where our official reading is shows 38" so far. I live closer to the mountains, so we get a bit more snow here. We are also warmer in the summer, so it sort of works out.

One thing I am really happy with is Red. He's gone thru this crap like a champ. The roads basically disappeared where my GF lives, and getting to her house (only down the road) was such a challenge, Cars and trucks were stuck everywhere. Most 4x's or AWDs and FWDs. No one is really dumb enough to drive a 2wd here anymore.

This came in wet and then the temps dropped, so the crust froze and the bottom was still sloppy. And NO PLOWS anywhere. Still Red could get to her house, even having to go around stuck vehicles. I ended up driving a neighbor to a drs appt, took GF's son out to pick up his Jeep (broke a CV), took his GF to work across the bowl and the list went on. That was all after blowing my driveway, 2 neighbors' d/w's, and then doing my GF's driveway. Yeah, a rough day yesterday.

quagga muscles... ROFL I'm not to that part yet, can't wait though. Definitely something Merlin would say.

But yea I recall that, also recall the original owners claiming it after Paul hunted them down. Yea I thought they got the boat back then. Perhaps that's when the officer stepped in? I recall the officer went to Fab Rats in the one episode ..Maybe I missed something after that.

AK! Good to see you, my friend. I think your snow is headed our way, in the form of rain. Supposed to get a decent amount of rain over the next week or so. Then the forecast shows it turning to snow in a week. We'll see - it's been rather mild thus far.

That episode isn't officially out yet. I'm guessing it'll be this Sundays episode. Guess it could be today or Friday, but it seems more like a Sunday episode to me.

@akdoggie - Good to hear from you, AK! I'd heard you folks up there were getting the weather. Glad Red is getting you around. Last evening a 4WD pickup drove by me with studded tires, and I just shook my head. Now I wonder if they were headed your direction!
Stay safe in that mess!
