Someone posted this on FB, and I have so many questions. Top question is: "where's the video?"

So wait, it's NOT a good idea to make control arms out of electrical conduit?

That's definitely what it looks like.... conduit!

Brew, a friend of mine installed his without those backing plates. I might drill the rivets out.... they're kinda ugly, LOL.

Holy crap... word moves around quick. After fixing that 'Yota at work yesterday, I've had a whole bunch of people inquiring about me fixing their vehicles.

LOL, I know. I hope he's passing that info along too. He came up with that amount though, not me.

I got $150 for the Explorer fuel pump.

Should raise that a bit. Ford charged 850 for a fuel pump r&r, including pump....and that was 12 years ago.

Hit up ALLData before pricing.

Yeah, I need to raise them up. Is there free access to All Data somewhere?

Bastards made it even later now.

Until now, I thought the people worried about AI as a threat to humanity watched too much sci-fi. I was wrong. We are doomed.

They offer a DIY side also.

1 month is $20
1 year is $60
3 yrs. is $130


I just mentally tack the $20 onto the bill when I quote a job if it's not something I have done before, or I need specific Assembly or torque specs on.
