I live on Long Island, can you beat the local guys prices. I find that when you add up the #s Your shipping and handling nullifies any savings my local guy
can give me. Plus if I am not happy or they don't fit, I can bring them right back. Don't get me wrong. You provide a good sevice, just not for me.

If you run on the beach and saltwater I got a tip for you. I used to shore launch my boat I had to drive 200' to get to the channel driving through brackish water there were a few holes that got up to the bottom of the door, If I forgot where they were at or sometimes new ones would appear from guys power loading too many times in the same spot! I sprayed my gas tank, under body, oil pan, etc. with cold galvanizing paint and I got zinc anodes on the frame!! Not that my truck isn't rusty it lived it's whole life on the beachside, I believe the zinc in the paint and the anodes has kept the damage I would have otherwise done to a minimum!! My floor pan is just about perfect except where I drilled for my fire extinguisher!! I would drive through the brackish water launch my boat and let the truck sit for 8-10 hours while out fishing, Then drive back in the water and 8 times out of 10 take it to the car wash and spray off the truck and trailer and flush the motor on the boat (they have motor flushes at the car washes down here) the other 2 times the woman was whining she wanted to go home so it sat for a few days neglected!! If you do undercoat paint it with cold galvanizing paint first, It will help!!

Yup, 20 mins each side. Did them yesterday. I like to lock them up every so often, just to keep the juices flowing.
