Ya, you sometimes have to be careful with MMC. some items on there are outrageously priced and you can source it locally for much cheaper. But for the most part, the little extra cost is worth the one stop shop and delivery time experience.
Looking great! Nice finishes and attention to detail. You mentioned you had a hard time finding piano hinges. McMaster-Carr is a great site for all kinds of random hardware (or anything) etc. And their delivery times are impressive. Usually next day on most items.
Wow. That's an insane shipping cost. I ship full semi loads with 20,000 lbs of steel cross states all the time and our shipping companies charge me under $1,000. $375 for a couple rock sliders seems crazy inflated.
I was checking out those Pack Racks. A descent option, they have an SUV version that would fit pretty well but would need the legs extended. I almost pulled the trigger on that platform but I'm still on the fence on whether or not I will just fabricate my own custom platform out of aluminum...
The setup is coming along nicely. Give a wave on your way in to Portland. I'm not far off of I-84 in Troutdale. Perhaps we will see each other out in the wild someday. Hopefully this spring rain finishes up soon so we can really get ourselves up the mountain for some fun!

Awww that's some clickbait, Dirty Dog trickery right there! "Hey check out my roof rack." (blurs out roof rack)
What a tease! The suspense is killing me already haha.
Wow! It looks great! Congrats! sub 5% interest rate is wild too. I have a great relationship with my credit union, an 833 credit score and extremely low debt to income ratio. My rate was still just over 6%. Dealership said they couldn't even come close to touching that. Either rates have dropped...
To touch on your mention of not having rain sensing wipers. I noticed something on the way home from work today. It was raining lightly and I had the wipers on the lowest setting with the longest intervals. I observed the wipers trigger out of turn. So I started paying attention to it.

I have a letter from SiriusXM that I haven't opened yet. I don't really listen to it so I doubt I will be renewing that. FWIW I have had issues with subscription companies in the past and I found that at the first sign of resistance from them, I just dispute their charge on my banking app. Then...
