^^^ 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.

 

I sold the Enduro 265/70R-16s from the Second Gen and used $80 of that cash to fill up the Silver Bullet. I then used the Silver Bullet to pick up another load of furniture I'm buying from a friend who has retired and is moving out of state.

 

Awesome thank you sir!

 

Today I acquired a 4th gen rear bumper for free
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
Bumper itself with the covers from my bumper.

Comparing to sport bumper:

 

did the first oil change on the new motor after work today. gotta drain a half quart out, oops........

tomorrow after work the new fuel pump is going in, but im pick up the engine hoist again, cause there is no one around to help.

 

Put new radiator hoses on.

 

i order the rebuild kit for my holley carb. hopefully i don't have too many more issues with it before i get the rebuild kit.

 

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.

 

Good to read this is done and it went well for you.

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.
