Should have checked amazon....

After my disappointment with the new recall leaf springs I decided to upgrade to the old man emu leaf packs. Should have checked Amazon cuz I paid $540 after shipping from wheelers with the bushings. Could have gotten them for $206 each (without bushings)with free shipping.... *facepalm*

 

Buying from wheelers supports a small business

 

True. But does not support my small bank account haha

 

Headstrong has a solid deal right now, free shipping too.

 

Impulse buy? I always check around for the best prices. I got my front 5100's ($158), rear 5100's ($105) and 884's ($139) from Jet.com and saved quite a bit

 

I checked around a few places and was finding pretty much the same prices. Never heard of headstrong. So I just didn't dig deep enough. I'll be happy once they're on my truck and I can ditch these recall packs

Anyone know the

Thanks. Sometimes when the fish aren't biting you gotta toss some plastic. That was 15 miles out on Lake of the Woods.

 

Anyone know the best place to order some total chaos UCAs?

 

Always check Headstrongoffroad.com first. Generally the cheapest, always free shipping. Warranties on products, and as Marie from Headstrong had quoted herself. When you buy from Fleabay, Amazon, or Jet.com they are not authorized sellers. So no matter how cheap you get it from them, when something goes wrong with the product. The Mother Company will tell you you are shit out of luck as they weren't authorized to sell it in the first place.

 

You could always select one of the vendors on amazon that *is* a small business.
Try to keep in mind that Amazon is only actually the retailer for those items that say "Amazon.com" under "seller information".
In fact, a lot of the SMALL BUSINESSES that sell through Amazon are successful BECAUSE of Amazon.

 

This.

 

$512 vs. $540. A whopping $28 difference. Which MAY be able to buy you a large pizza from Dominos delivered to your door.

This is an expensive sport if you haven't realized it by now. You could throw hundreds of thousands at this truck in "upgrades" and still not be done with it.

 

Except $206*2 is $412

 

Damn, beat me by minutes. I lol'd.

 

I personally love Amazon, especially prime's two day shipping and sometimes same day/1 day depending on the item. However; sometimes things are too good to be true. I'm not saying all, but yesterdays delivery was the most disappointing one I've ever had with Amazon and I knew I should have went with a supporting vendor.

I ordered an electric fan to upgrade in my Fox Mustang. Black Magic 185 that is for the Fox Body Mustangs. $379 on most sites and found it on Amazon $339 and free shipping on Amazon. I was a little leery of ordering a fan for my Mustang from a 4wheel store. The fan arrived last night and all of the mounting brackets were not in the box. Plus, the shock boots that I ordered from the same vendor on Amazon was not received when it was supposed to be shipped with my fan. Therefore; I have a fan without the brackets and no shock boots.

For a lot of stuff I love Amazon for, but I might never order a car/truck part ever again on Amazon. Support the site vendors especially Headstrong. Marie is awesome and always responds to my calls, emails, and messages.

 

I got rid of my extra 'toy' cars to concentrate on the truck. They just sat, got polished and rubbed, and only driven on occasion to a car show, where I sat around for a couple of hours with other old farts. I drive my Taco every day, so I get to actually enjoy the money that I spend on a daily basis.
