That's about double what it should cost. Dealerships around here throw ridiculous markups on parts.

 

It does sound high but is it really atypical for the area?

Bear in mind after my experience with GM dealers and their business practices it takes a good amount to wow me in that area.

 

I did 3 coats of rustoleum enemal, the rock chips are adding up. Touching them up is on my last, then i might do something to prevent the chips. I only get them on the small connecting peices facing the front tires.

 

Stop breaking already! you still going Friday?

Primer and 3 coats of Duplicolor Bed Coating(the blue can),don't get the bed liner.

 

Probably not a-typical but the stealerships should be ashamed with the markups they put on parts. Camelback Toyota is in AZ and I can get them to ship parts to my door and still be 40-50% cheaper than if I drove to a local dealership. And you know they still at least have some markup on the parts they sell.

 

They mark up parts like crazy . Already found it online for $165 and $140 ill keep looking around for the cheapest place

Not my fault . That's the replacement driveshaft I got from rob . He is looking into the warranty for me now.
Ill be there Friday .

 

Mike I just saw your post about throwing a soccer ball on the highway in front of the new Mercedes!

That is fucking genius!

 

That's exactly why I don't want a car with a mind of it's own and the ability to accelerate, stop and steer on it's own. It's just a matter of time before we'll be arguing with the car's computer (think Space Odessy 3000, "I'm afraid I can't do that Dave")

 

Yup..IMO one general issue with "mind of its own" electronics is they lack the ability to learn from things.

 

I know,can Rob get the carrier bearing?
And do you want me to bring the sheets of duct insulation on Friday or fuck it?

 

I think Denis should take the mesh from John so I can go pick it up in Brikkuh

 

He can just get the whole driveshaft . Ya don't worry about the insulation . Thanks though .

Dude I'm in Boston everyday . Come get it .

 

X2. 1 coat of self etching primer (1 can), 2 coats of rattle can rustoleum (2 cans). But I'm selling those. Mine are linexed.

 

Hey guys, just wanted to put my first post here! I just picked up my 2013 MGM DCLB TRD Sport with tow package yesterday.

I've been lurking here for about a year and finally got the funds to make the truck work!! It's been my dream vehicle for a few years now. I'm coming from a 2004 SVT Focus. I plan on keeping the focus and DDing it till I move from Dover. I want to keep the truck as far away from my apartment as I can... I also have a 2008 KTM 690 Duke for the warmer days =]

I won't be able to provide much excitement around here as funds for modding are non existent for the foreseeable future. Besides a set of weathertechs that I picked up for a steal.

Anyways, thanks for providing great information and entertainment for my work day. Love this forum. Sorry for the long post

 

Welcome

 

Welcome!

 

Enter the funhouse at yer own risk!

 

Where are the pictures of your truck ? I'm curious to see the front suspension .

 

There will be pictures this weekend of the truck!! The weather sucks and it's already dirty...

Pugga, I notice you're a bike guy. I'll see what I can do as far as pictures of the bike.

 

Awesome! I really like the Duke, nice looking bike. Can't wait to see yours and the new truck.
