Haha supercharger seems like a little much. Is something like that even necessary for trail riding? Power commander gave me the boost I was looking for. I’m really focused on the next aesthetic improvement like a roof rack. Wheels will most likely be much later on. Internally I’m thinking a CAI system like aFE and then a née exhaust. My cat is starting to go. I can smell exhaust under hard acceleration and ammonia every once and a while too

Hi fellow new englanders,
Hoping you're enjoying the glorious sunshine; RI has been real nice today after a wet yesterday.
So I have a 2011 with minimal rust as it spent most of its life in California. Last fall, I looked into rust proofing in Rhode Island, and the only vendor was autorust.com, offering to do a major job for $1,500 - sandblasting, then painting with rust inhibitor and the works.
That's like 10% of the cost of the car! I really feel that a por 15 or fluid film coating before the winter should suffice. Would you folks know of shops in the RI /MA /CT area that could do this for $200-300? I've seen this approach being suggested on the forums here, but haven't come across the right vendors and would really appreciate your guidance.
Thank you!

I suggest that your best bet might be to buy a gallon of Woolwax (like fluid film but doesn't stink) and the spray gun from the same folks and do it yourself. You'll need an air compressor but you could rent or buy one and then you'll be able to keep up with it twice a year (spring and fall is my schedule). Easy to do out on my lawn so if you have room it is your least expensive option.

Best roof rack for surfboards?
I own a 2014 SR5. I’m looking to buy crossbars and such to transport multiple surfboards. Usually I’d have two and sometimes up to four. Any recommendations? Be great to get something that I could use in the winter too for skis/snowboards. Thanks for any help.

I bought LFD Offroad crossbars and have been very happy. You want my factory crossbars for free? Just pick them up from Cambridge, MA. PM me if you want them.
