Travel trailer brakes/bearings, 225 miles on them, rusted and froze up from sitting. Have 3 out of 4 wheels done, one more to go. Replaced the slide out motors X4 as well, same , rusted/froze from sitting outside. Almost ready to give it back to the dealer, I just want it gone now. POS.

That's had more horror stories than owning a boat. Sorry Brew!

Owning a boat wasn't that bad after all.

Need a big pole barn. Concrete is crazy expensive, no way around it.

Yeah... just a little bit tangier.

I don't know if any of you saw the "Randy's Transmissions" videos of this truck jumping.... it's been a couple few years....



It was sitting out in front of his warehouse earlier this week... (new graphics though)

The Wife just called.... she said that the Escape feels like it has a restriction in the exhaust. So.. I guess I'm taking it off AGAIN.

Got my truck in the garage, finally. The good news is my springs haven't sagged any more (still level side-to side); the bad news is there's still nothing to explain how a tire got eaten in 5kmi.

Alignment and new tires up next.

Rock Auto is taking it back. I ordered a Walker through my Business Prime account. I've started checking car parts between regular Amazon and Business, because sometimes it saves me a few bucks.

Business Price:

This is regular Amazon Prime:
