I think this is the only post im allowed to talk about how good racks are and not get in trouble with the wifey
That's weird because they look so easy to replace and the racks are like $400 for these trucks.

Thanks again, yep, keeping the Roush wheels.
Wife is staying in Burleson this week to try to keep the flora alive. I'll have a few nice quiet evenings.

If you could just keep her at home she wouldn't worry about breaking down and you wouldn't have to get a new truck.

Hope it works out and you enjoy the new truck.

It was a nice drive from Burleson, this morning, but 5:00 sure did come early.

The reason masking tape would not work, I had to have it hold to drive into Tyler, 50 mile round trip, with a passenger. So, the window had to stay sealed. It then had to hold up all the next day in the heat, on bumpy roads and anothe 60 miles. It dropped after I made it home and was getting ready to work on it. I had a lot of tape on it, but the 105 degrees took it's toll. I had a roll of masking tape, but would have taken a whole roll I think. That 3m stuff works great on the residue.

I will never forget my first visit to Houston. It was 87 degrees, 80% humidity. All I was doing was sitting under a palm tree, breating, and my shirt was totally soaked. I decided then that I would never stay there longer than I had to.
