Florida B.S. Thread

haha, ive actually been thinking about taking them off

glad im not the only one with this, that kinda sound like what would cause that

 

That's what I was thinking.. But I have not had that issue

 

Mine is exactly the same ...drives me crazy early in the morning going to work.

 

Mine only does it when I back out of the driveway, by the time I get to the end of the street it done but at 6 in the morning it seems loud as hell.

 

mine does it while moving forward as well and 5 in the morning its very loud

 

Another reason to LOVE Florida.....one of 3 she caught...We will not talk about the guy behind the scenes; fixing broken lines..poles,cutting bait or taking the catfish off for release...

HAPPY Wife...........HAPPY Life

 

Don't eat those! They're not like freshwater cats.

 

To bad it takes so long to get to the water....

 

Hey now.....I heard that line yesterday when I mentioned buying a boat...

 

Hey Spruce, what's the word with your taco? Last I heard your frame was good.

 

Yep frame is good, went there yesterday to do a walk around with the shop general manager & found out while I was sliding sideways it ground down the edges of both tires on the drivers side. So 3 new tires, 1 rim maybe 2 if they cant get the scuff mark off the front passenger side rim, replacing the rocker panel & the rest is body work as of now, I'm still trying to get new door skins.
They were gonna replace the passenger side leaf spring but I talked to the manager today about the idea of getting All Pro 3" standard leafs instead & he said he didn't see a problem with doing that since their cheaper than just the 1 stock replacement, so my rear lift will be done & they will install the extended brake lines for me also, so I'll be ordering my extended rear shocks & brake lines tomorrow that way I can get them before she's done.
I also had 2 scratches on my grill from when I did the mesh & he said he would take care of it no charge.
The only bad news so far was it will take 15 days.

 

I know the whole thing kinda sucks.. but it seems that the silver lining is your getting some aftermarket stuff you wanted.. so that is good

on another note i have $600 saved up for the FJ T case already... $400 more to go!

 

Damn wish my savings jumped up that fast.
Not only aftermarket stuff I wanted but aftermarket stuff I couldn't afford. I was just gonna do add a leafs & keep my blocks so I would definitely say its a silver lining. As far as the shocks & brake lines I was gonna do those anyway but was gonna wait to get everything at once, this forces me to buy those couple things early & get the struts a little later.

Btw thanks to Taco No Baka for the idea of asking about the All Pro leafs.

 

Perks of no kids yet

 

Very happy to have helped out. I figured if the cost was similar (or less) they wouldn't make a fuss about it. That's one case where we can be thankful for inflated OEM prices.

On another note, both times I had to take my car to the body shop after an accident, I didn't see it again for over a month. Both times, by the time I got the car back, the body shop had had it longer than I did. One was with the aforementioned Probe GT which I had for about 2 or 3 weeks when it got slammed, and the other was my 2000 Honda Civic which I had for 11 days (brand new off the lot) when my ex was rear-ended in it by an unlicensed, illegal immigrant minor driving a car he "barrowed without permission" (in other words, he got away with it scott-free and my insurance company ended up paying for it. The other car's insurance wouldn't pay because the driver didn't have permission to drive it, yet the owner said he barrowed it so he didn't get charged with stealing the car...go figure ). Only my ex could get into a situation so totally screwed up--for me, anyway.

Anyway, I think they make you wait that long on purpose so you'll be so eager to get the vehicle back you won't be too critical of the repairs.

 

Bro, I bought mine for $425 shipped.

 

Thanks for looking over Snow White & taking care of the u haul f.u.. She is back to herself now..,,,,,,,,,,,, I hate armor all ,but they do make a great car wash. Gives a nice shine to the paint & rubber..

 

Yeah you got that right kids are pretty damn expensive & only get more expensive as they get older.

The AP leaf set is s $419 & 1 stock replacement is $620. To me that's ridiculous, 1.5x more for stock crap.

The 15 days he said is what came up after he put everything in the computer & should take less time than that but I won't hold my breath.

 

Sounds good but if they are gonna replace 3 tires might as well replace the 4th as well.
