Florida B.S. Thread

I'm *going with a 4x Innovations tube bumper. Their 1st gen bumpers are on clearance, and I am waiting for my first paycheck to jump on one.


lol...I just realized how close the 18th is

 

ill be outta town on the 18th

 

FUCK MEEEEE!!!!

I finally got the remanufactured fucking rack and pinion in and its LEAKING...its FUCKING LEAKING...ITS LEEEEEEEEAKING!! GOD DAMMIT.

 

that sucks, sorry to hear that

 

I am heading up to Citrus for the day on the 3rd with 2 other trucks if anyone wants to meet us up there. I know it's somewhat short notice, but since we are only going for the day no camping it was more of a spur of the moment thing.

 

yeah man....the rack has a lifetime warranty so I can return it; and I paid w/ paypal...but now I have to ship the bitch back, and my truck will be down now even longer.



FUCK!!!!


Its leaking from around the input shaft where the steering shaft attaches...

FUCK...FUCK...FUCK

and now I'm sad.....

At least I will be a rack and pinion professional when I am done with this mother...

 

THIS is why you dont buy aftermarket.

 

haha...its acutally a remanufactured OEM rack

And toyota wants $700 for a R&P...that shit isn't flyin'...

 

They are all remanufactuered OEM racks, even if you buy it from toyota, but it's WHO does the remanufacturing that matters. But i am sorry to hear about that, that kinda stuff sucks.

 

yeah. I figured i would support a small business on ebay, vs. buying a reman unit from Autozone or Advanced. Their process sounded good and they do their work in house, so I figured proud Americans would be better then an autozone unit that is probably outsourced to china. They have 100% positive feedback, and reading through their feedback for the tacoma R&P's they were all positive...

I have really shitty luck though, so it might just be me.

Literally, every time I do something like this I end up having to do it twice because a part is defective...I am just freaking cursed.

 

Give me time to ask the vodoo lady in New Orleans ...Jim

 

please do

You in NO for mardi gras jim?

 

I WISH ...Its let the good times roll in NO,,LA right about now.. The food & the girl bump's are to kill for

 

I just emailed the company about the R&P...

Should I give them another chance and let them send me another one, or just I just demand a refund and go to autozone?

I am leaning towards asking for my money back. At least with autozone I can go down there and bitch at them....lol...

Never again will I use ebay auto parts

 

is there a big price diff, cause if u go to autozone or advanced, then u can prob get it within 24 hrs, and then just have it done....

 

that's if they don't already have it in stock

 

rock auto have what you need, or are they up there with dealer prices? they have good quality control and customer service.

 

Its $100 more for an autozone unit. And your right...I can have one in less than a day and put it in. At least I will have experience putting one in

It is actually a pretty easy job if anyone never needs help with one.

 

Rock auto has pretty good prices, a little bit more expansive than autozone...but after this problem I am having I am just going to order the rack from a local place so if there is a problem I can just drive over and sort it out vs. having to mail it out...

Oh I wish I would have just went to autozone

 

if they have it at advanced, u can always use these coupons
