Well fuck are they buying everyone?

 

Lots of places are.... makes it so companies like King that don't deal with the general public now have to have a good relationship with them to distribute

 

what? pfft. they own everyone now? Only reason I never went to Headstrong was the CA sales tax (and yes, I know some out of state merchants are now charging tax).

Was it TG that was crap or was it All Pro that went POS on customers. I know it was one of them. I do remember TG acquired AP just cant recall when that AP issue cropped up.

 

Idk. Been re watching all of top gear. The movie togo was good on disney +

 

TG isn't bad, I've actually only had good experiences with them, just know what you're buying, and since all these places still retail a good selection I wouldn't say TG buying them is bad. TG bought AP whioch was being a shithead, but I think they wanted the production equip from them more than the product rights

 

I'm gonna change outer tie rod ends too, where is da deals?

 

Taco Friday

 

i wanna drink that oil

 

oh c'mon. you know better. everyone is going to throw out use this or use that. I'll be the one to say, use camelback even though Gary is MIA, see if they will still do a TW discount and order outers from them.

Now, someone will chime in and say use 555. oh, order them from LRO! lol.

 

Get the sankei 555 on rocmauto

 

Wonder if thats why Wheelers killed their 5 pack springs.

Only good thing about trail gear is some of their vendors ship free. Maybe it will finally be feesable for me to buy from Wheelers...

 

I didn't see them on there.

From what I see OEM, is actually competitively priced.

 

oh shit i forgot i get the 555 from napa.


OEM is another option.

 

Also, I don't order from camelback anymore because they refuse to ship USPS and I live in hawaii. I've been using Conicelli Toyota these days and they always have the same if not cheaper pricing than camelback, not by much but They ship USPS which is a win in my book.

 

You work 13hrs a day and cook dinner at 930

 

i like that 555 gives you new jamb nuts... thats why i buy em. lol

 

My napa here doesn't seem to have em in stock. Might need to order from outer island. I don't mind the sankei stuff minus the Lower Ball Joint, that I went OEM.

 

Yup. Flat rate is really the only way Ill ship to HI. Shipping an air intake out there was quite expensive for the buyer. But probably worth it to him since yall probably have 0 junk yards.

 

Back in the early days, like around 2014 the Wheeler's packs were made by Alcan and were great bang for the buck, way better than Dakars. The later ones were from General Spring and were sucky
