Thank You Craigslist for Cheap WeatherTechs

I've had my new truck for about 2 weeks, and I've missed my cheap rubber floor mats that I had in the 05 every time I've gotten in and out of it.

Started thinking about WeatherTechs... but couldn't really justify paying $200+ for floor mats. Until Craigslist came to my aid.

Found front and rears on that glorious site for only $150. The seller was about 2 hours away near my parents place, so I talked it down to $100 and headed that way.

Much better for only $100, and I saved the expense of needing a U-Haul trailer to move out of my apartment next week by taking home another load of stuff. Another added bonus I got to take the bed cover off the big truck and put it on to the 2014 . It was a great day to check out Craigslist.

Great deal man. Craigslist is convenient at times. I bought my Vibrant catback exhaust for my car, which was discontinued in 2010 and cost $500 new, for $100 lightly used. Also bought used Eibach sway bars for $250 front and rear where they run about $340 on Summit.

I always search "f150, cavalier, 18" tires" on all my surrounding areas

Thanks amigo, got to love Craigslist when it turns out well. I was exceptionally happy with this one because the whole thing was done in 1 day, instead of dragged on because of slow communication like I have had happen before. Sounds like you find some great deals!

Very jealous... I had my brand new 2" drop stolen off the truck a few days after I put it on the truck.... Wasn't too happy about it.

Did it only have the clip and rod and not a lock?

I had a 2" hitch on my truck for two years and couldn't take it off because my dad sold the boat and the key to the lock was on the boat keys haha. Needed to put it on my mom's Yukon last week and couldn't fit an angle grinder, sawzall, or hacksaw in there, so I applied the BFH method for removal and it was off in two minutes the locks don't protect very well from that.

Nope didn't have it locked. The hitch from the big truck had never been stolen so I guess I was trusting humanity a little too much... Then again, I guess not so many trucks are looking for a 5.5" drop hitch.
