Thanks Scott. :mrgreen:

I still need to replace shocks, still has factory Bilsteins on it, and the front end is getting sloppy so it will need maybe idler and tie rods, but not bad for 130K. I think it's getting due for front brakes too.

Got the first estimate on bodywork for my wife's caddy today. :evil:

$2600!

basically $700 for a wrinkled hood and $465 to replace a headlight and $68 for the left headlight trim piece and the grille has a small crack at $650 that Tom and I didn't see when we took a look the other night at 11PM! That's just the parts .... the rest is labor :shock:

Drove the XJ over to tell the bakery I'm not coming back! Guess the work was okay but, nobody there is happy to even be there. :roll:

Just didn't seem like a place where I would like to be so I'll keep looking some more! An unhappy crew is not really conducive to a good work environment. Maybe Titan Tire will call me and give me a job for Christmas! :POPCORN:

I won't complain about either of those, normal wear items, I could only hope Jeep parts last that long.

And for all the "wonderful Jeep" comments....the oil light came on this morning when I started it, 71K miles and it's full....
Soooo stick that where the sun doesn't shine :goink:

The light only came on because ya take you used oil from the government motors and dump in the Liberty because ya know it can take it :goink:

No, why waste good oil in the Liberty :goink:

I actually had a coworker who wanted my used oil....so he could put it in his Ford minivan. He was dead serious when he told me he just added more oil when it got low and he was too cheap to buy a new quart. :dizzy:

Wierd too, he got almost 200K miles on that stupid thing.

Truth be told, I have always owned and loved government motors. Heck the first vehicle I bought when I was 15 was my 72 Chevelle. I'll also help Tom out here, "you boys and your bowties".
I just love busting your chops :ROTFL:

Some people should only answer questions in which they have first hand knowledge in, not what they think they read on line somewhere and can't remember for sure what they read. :banghead:

Rant over

By the way Tom and Larry, I had better get some sort of "it's here" if and when IT shows up tomorrow :jester:

Momma is dragging me out to do the Christmas shopping so it depends on when we get home how long or if I crash :shock:

tommudd · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 11:35 pm

Bigger box came for me today
smaller box for Larry
bigger box for him should be here tomorrow, which I won't be home
But then have to get the trailer back out of the garage and go pick something for Larry tomorrow evening

what he doesn't know is I'll wait for him to come and help me unload the trailer and get it out of the back of the garage
THEN...

Nick .....Since I can't see or hear you and don't know how to take that, I'll just not comment right now on that since not everybody knows all the circumstances! :roll:

And I don't want to say something I'll regret later. :2cents:

Tom, not a problem!

Just glad you are going to be able to have the time to help before you go down home for Christmas! :BANANA:

I know my wife will appreciate it since that BIG box we need the trailer for is HER christmas present! :lol:

Hart, maybe if Tom is back we can unwrap the other box Sunday night!!! ( Actually Tom and I will unwrap it tomorrow but I gotta let you feel included!! :goink:

)

Sorry to hear about your deer problem Larry, mine was middle aged women (one in the same) :jester:

I think what Nick meant to say was....."Larry, I hope you find work you enjoy" :2cents:

Tom a box of mine is getting delivered to your house too, I figured everyone else has stuff shipped to you I might as well join in on the fun :ROTFL:

update of the MINI: Suspension was fine no damage just some plastic broken and a bent wheel. They sent the wheel out to get powder coated (they thought mine were, they are not just painted) so no wheel or MINI til next week

Tom's got some very stylish duct tape you can use :mrgreen:

Guess I need to ship a box to Tom's too just to join in the fun.

Last day of work until Jan 3...woohoo, I got some many projects lined up. :banghead:

no vacation for me, but at least I won't be in this rathole for 11 days. :mrgreen:

Ordered shocks from shock warehouse on Dec 14, kept wondering why they hadn't been shipped. We got a call from Chase bank yesterday, seems they locked our CC account. Upon checking, everything after the 14th had been put on hold. Seems someone high jacked our CC # and was buying stuff from Macy's( too rich for my blood). I personally think it came from the shock warehouse website as we had purchased stuff online before that day and had no problems, same computer, etc. The time stamp on purchases was almost immediately after I bought the shocks. I emailed shock warehouse and told them my theory. Just letting you all know for the future in case you order from them, do it over the phone.
