^^^ I think the taxes are in the customs fee's, not to sure how it works just yet. The brake lines I received from down south I paid for shipping to the retailer and when the parts showed up there was a $30 customs fee as well. We are 4hrs from the border not bad but not just a day trip, gas/hotel cost would be more than the parts would.

Today I acquired a 4th gen rear bumper for free ![Smile](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
My neighbor is a mopar mechanic and got this from work to use on a car hes restoring, but ended up going a different route. Its been shortened length wise to fit the car so I will need to modify it to fit my truck without looking "pushed out" from the rear. Anyways heres the pics or it didnt happen pics![Big Grin](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Bumper itself with the covers from my bumper.

Replaced my oil pressure sensor.... that was fun... No, I don't have the cool OPS socket. I couldn't justify 14 bucks for a socket that has only ONE purpose.... and I would probably never use again. So, short vice grips, and a contorted HeyYou..... no major wounds, and now, my oil light doesn't come on at idle on a hot motor... still at 20 pounds plus. YEAH!
Worst part? I have had this sensor for probably two years..... just got around to installing it.

I picked up the drums and shoes yesterday, and the wallet is just a bit lighter. Drums I managed to get for $102 each, but the shoes the best he could do was $135 for Wagner shoes, he could have sold me Raybestos pads for cheaper but he advised me well against them as there products are failing bad. You guy's would S*** if you saw the retail prices on these parts $235 for the shoes and $189 for the drums.

Just got finished moving a friends furniture with the Ram early this morning.Currently designing and measuring and getting tubing together to make my own tiregate so I have 2 spare tires. And one of my rear exhaust pipes fell off which is great, gives me a reason to spend money on an exhaust tip.
