Good luck on the AC Troy. That's a bummer. Open windows here and 74 in the house.

Oh, and I did order the new vinyl for the camper awning last night. And I finally got confirmation today that my truck tool box is finally shipping.

I think I need to sandblast and paint my grill guard myself. For a local shop to do it is over $1k.

That price sounds pretty ridiculous but would look nice after. At least it should for that price

Hopefully the vinyl wasn't too expensive.

That does seem a little high. Problem with something like that is there is a lot of wasted paint and takes a lot to cover it. Spraying a pipe you waste so much paint and clear.
