Important

I am hating being at work today, seems like every body that walks up to my counter wants to see if i can get there part cheaper,or faster

i just had the used car guy nickle and dime me, we got to go out our way to get some cheep no name tires for them instead of selling the ones i have in stock to save them like 7 bucks, I understand saving them money i try and get the best prices for them and i usually don't care if i got to order something that will be cheaper for them but these tires are gonna cost us at least 10 bucks in gas to go pick up but we cant factor in that price for some reason
another guy is over hauling a front axle, we don't stock about 12 of the parts i can have them all in the morning from our stock order, but instead he wants me to see if i can go to other dealers for all the parts it would be about 4 different dealers, so i told hi no we arnt doing that, then he asked me if i can call the aftermarket company's and see if they can get the parts here today, "i sure can (with a smile) he walks away "F*** that guy"
rant off

sorry

Just returned from the dentist. I had the remaining root pulled on my front tooth today. I was going to have a bone graft and tooth implant done today too but they wanted $1100 up front! :eek: So, I have to wait for the bone to heal before I can get the implant done.

Yeah I got all my cavities filled in the past couple visits. They said my tooth was getting infected so I thought I'd at least get that pulled since my insurance runs out this friday. Still need to do the tooth implant and get my wisdom teeth removed and its just cleanings and check ups from there.

lucky for me my wisdom teeth were pulled about 10+ years ago.

they were even nice enough to submit my bill of almost 300 bucks to the insurance and then they will bill me for what the insurance doesn't cover...which is nice cause so many places want to charge you up front for everything.

Not really sure why, but I have no wisdom teeth. From everything I've heard it sounds like I'm lucky. At first I assumed superior genetics, but even my parents wouldn't buy that.

Damn look at that front tow point! Is it four wheel drive?

Edit: On second thought, it is a Ford, always good to have something to tow it with.

That's just there so they can easily move it around the showroom...... when they can't get it started.

If anyone is curious my buddy still has the old axles and tires for sale. They are #5200 torsion axles with six tires. They are pulled and ready for sale!

I have hired 2 guys to do "clean up" around my farm and shops and sell scrap metal while prices are high. They mistook a t-case as junk and loaded it up with some other high dollar items and brought it all to the scrap yard. I lost a couple carriers, a few sets of gears, a set of Yukon shafts and a few other items. I was sick when I notced it. I even called the scrap place but they said there was no possible way to know which pile that stuff wnet into since they are taking in hundreads of tons of scrap a day right now. So, I guess my good luck on the YJ and the new tires finally wore off.... :(

Dude, I would be pissed! They obviously should see that you have Jeeps sitting around and Jeep parts would naturally go on Jeeps. That Sucks!

That's a big effin trailer. I'm kinda surprised it's not a triple axle.
Click to expand...

30ft, built in 1990...has 26ft of floor with cabinets up front.

original GVWR was 10,400
now its 14,000

Dry weight of the trailer is guesstimated at 6k.

I'm glad its only two axles, three would be more of a pita maneuvering.
