    I'm not sure. People have been leaving here and getting to the states being told a delivery date and the vehicles never show up. My wife's friend has been waiting a month after the delivery date they told her. She called them one time and they said it was in Dallas. She said she would go get it in Dallas if need be, they said they'd call her back and never did. Now they won't answer any of her phone calls. Apparently a bunch of people are trying to sue the company as well. I'm not so much as bothered about suing them as long as I get fully reimbursed for my truck and the parts I've put on it, I'll just go get a new truck no big deal to me.

    Sometimes they are stolen overseas.

    Other times, they are on the ships, then a bad storm hits and they loose them to the ocean.

    Maybe they are stuffing them full of contraband and they are getting ceased in customs?

    They mess up paperwork or can't pay the actual Vessel owners fees and the vehicle is held as payment.

    there are only really a few options of what can actually happen.

    FINALLY fixed that damn suspension noise. Silence going over bumps is like music to my ears now! It was the sway bar linkage going back and forth through the linkage I'm pretty sure (can't be 100% positive on that since I also put on the sway bar relocation kit).

    do any of you know someone who has went to UTI (Universal Technical Institute)? They have a 51 week automotive course then after you complete that a 12 week Toyota course. Thinking about having this as a plan b for life if I get out of the Army. My GI Bill should cover it, or at least that's what I'm being told and the school is in PA.

    I know that in a lot of shops (at least around me) the mechanics all consider it a joke from experience working with they're graduates...

    Hey dudes, I have a buddy who came across a second gen TRD Supercharger still in the box. He said he's asking around $4k for it. It's actually an older lady who has it, so I'm sure she'll be negotiable. Seller will be in Lynchburg.

    Seen our old buddy Shane today on 29 but haven't heard anything from him or from Luke.

    Brandon let me know when your bumper comes in so we can figure out when we can do all that mess.

    just finished up making a panel to mount my stand alone fuse box for under the hood. not the prettiest thing but it will get the job done. thinking I want a PA speaker now to hook up to my CB. I think I read awhile back that one of you has one, where is a good place to mount it? Is it hard to wire up (does it need it's own power from the fuse box or does it draw power from the CB)?

    For those who don't know: you can polish plastic headlights with regular toothpaste.
