Hey you can lease one for only $1798/month according the Merc website

 

Hell no.

 

Work truck mod. Love it.

 

You should be able to miss any obstacle in your way now!

 

 

Looks like your bad luck rubbed off on me. Started hearing a thunking in the Limited. Jacked it up and the lower ball joints had some play in them.

Took it to my guy and had it done. He said the uppers weren't real bad, but since its got over 200K on it I went ahead and had him do all of them while it was apart.

Yeah, you were right, your quote was a bit high. He put Moog upper and lower ball joints, an alignment, and I let him change the oil and put brake pads on the front since it needed both and he had it apart. $600

 

Jeez, sounds lucky to me. I finished mine on monday and had it aligned wednesday. So much more solid now. Ended up costing me about $450 to do it myself. All moog here too.

 

I rebuilt the entire front end of my truck with moog parts. Upper control arms, lower ball joints, sway bar end links, and now just replaced the driver side hub assembly. I think I did it all for around 700 off of rockauto.com. Buddy at the FD helped me since hes had lots of suspension experience. We also put rancho mt7000 shocks all the way around and a 2" hellbent steel leveling kit. made the truck look much better.

since all that, ive had to replace both from calipers, along with flex hoses. Had both sides seize up within a couple of weeks of each other. Had the driver replacement one seize a month after i put it on.

Can i burn it and get the insurance money?

 

Moog makes good stuff. I get their stuff off amazon though. Prime shipping!

 

Ooooo i never thought to even check there!

 

Well the guy that I've been getting to work on my big stuff also owns a parts store connected to his shop, so I buy all my parts there. Even stuff I do myself I buy all my parts from him. Prefer to do business like that with local owned business. Plus if I have any problem, a part fails later on, etc. he'll make it up no question asked. Even if its out of warranty (within reason of course).

 

True, and I agree...but most the shops around here mark stuff up SO much. Sometimes I'll get it through our guy, if it's not too high, but even he tells us to just buy it on amazon and bring it to him to install lol

 

I bought my stuff off amazon. Same stuff was nearly twice as much at O'Reillys. Plus I hate dealing with people. Much easier to just buy online and have it show up two days later.

This is coming from someone who works at a locally owned shoe store that focuses largely on customer service. That said, if I didn't work here, I probably would never buy shoes here. I really don't like dealing with people (I don't work with customers). I know, I'm terrible.

 

No Nathan, I hate people too. Most of us here do, which is why we spend so much time talking online to each other

 

Its kind of sad, but there are less than 10 people on earth that I actually enjoy spending time with in person, and only about 5 or so others that I don't mind seeing but only on a limited basis.

 

Only about 2k a month?!? Sounds awesome. Sign me up. lol
Imagine how much it costs to actually finance one with the interest? LMMFAO

 

Had a friend of mine after shooting a particularly bad round ask me, "What the hell was wrong with me today?" I responded, "I don't know, man. Talent?" His response: "You sonofa*****. lol"

His father-in-law was hilarious on the course. If he'd hit a par-3 tee shot short, his invariable comment would be that he was going to the pro shop to turn in his dick and his man card for a ***** and a driver's license with the name Sally on it.

 

I make the typical "Does your husband play, Nancy?" or "You must have forgotten your ********* on the tee box" when leaving a putt short.

 

Same here usually just say "Nancy man up next time".

 

I've come to the realization that I'm just not that good at golf. I'm not really getting any better either. I'm ok with it now. I still enjoy playing bad golf but now there's no pressure. Lol.
