This morning I drove out to Woburn for a company’s liquidation sale, and picked up a Gast 1023 vacuum pump for $100. These retail for around $700 new, so this was a BIG score and shaved a ton of money off the vac table bottom line. I was SO tempted to pick up a second one for a spare, but refrained. I’ll probably contact them again next week and see if there are any left. If so I’ll likely go back.
Then when I got to work, I found that my tonneau cover had arrived! It really was as easy to install as they claimed. It took me about 15 minutes to get it out of the box and on the truck. I wasn’t able to do the tailgate weather strip, since it was VERY dirty. I’ll have to do that later.
This will be great for a number of reasons. Like, for example, the $700 vac pump in the bed is not out in the open for the whole world to see now!
I also won’t have to strap in any small things I put in the back. I’m probably going to pick up one of the cargo separators for it next… it’s a rigid wall that installs into the rails on the bed and can be positioned wherever you need it.
With something like that, you can put, say, grocery bags, in the bed of the truck and not have to crawl all the way in to the back of the bed to get them back out.
