Hey Brandt on a lighter note what year model is that truck you just got?Darryl
Don't wan't derail this thread, but I saw a truck like that on Stacy Davis"s show didn't have that front end yours got, but they put on a super charger....D
My thoughts exactly Alan. I just saved over $10k on 150 frames. But what do I know.....Again, there's a reputable broker near me with 30 - 23x31's.
I understand the cleaning argument but at a third of the cost for used to me it makes no sense to buy new. Maybe I'm just cheap. Like eb said just flip the rollers an they are fine or just pry the channel back out. Knicks and burrs can easliy be cleaned up with a file and emory cloth. When ever I see a good deal on some frames I grab them. Never got burned but all need some tlc.

Simply drop the screen in a dip tank to pre-soften some of the crud and then start using the 'brush' in your drill. Only a couple minutes per screen and 90% of the crud is gone, including polyken adhesive residue.My production manager found these a year ago and we love 'em.~Kitson
Brandt, I really don't think anyone gives a Fuk what you do with your money, I sorry, I don't want to dig on you but man you can get under the skin quick. The statement I made a few post back was not a dig on you, as you took it to be, all I said was new stuff could have problems too and I even said I had bought new stuff that was broken, how you took that as trying to tell you what to do I don't know. You act like a spoiled child on here at times with your come back on folks when they post something you don't like, most times I will try and skip over your post or comments cuz you act like a fuking brat, stop being so defensive. I think you've have gotten your point across that you live the good life, and you should you work for it. I did not want to blast at you like this, but dam dude.....Darryl
But I wont do used. I dont want someone else's problems, no matter the discount.
