No one can believe it's 10 years old. *THAT* still makes me feel pretty good. |
Thanks for the compliment. I've only seen two other green/greys in the DFW area, and have never seen another set of chrome style 130 wheels anywhere so it is on the "unique" side. And I know what you mean about people not believing mine is 12 years old. With a little bit of care, they maintain their looks.
The trellis went to a Hampton Inn sign in Marian, AR and weighed 250 pounds. The crossbars flattened out a little but came back to shape as soon as it was off. As long as the load is even, there's no problem hauling the maximum capacity on the roof rack. I've had up to six 4' x 8' sheets of 3/4" hardwood plywood (390 lbs) on the top with no issues at all - other than hoisting them up there!
