Paxton

[r1lovin]

Haha my wife is like "no more car parts". Then when I tell her my clutch replacement is going to be $1200 she says "oh that's not that bad" :headbonk:

That's a good deal Sinister. My wife allows me a lot of latitude with my toys so when she says "we have other things to take care of", I know to put my toys on hold.

Pix of the wife?

And does she have sisters??

No she has a brother LOL

^^^^ Ooooh, that's a test! be careful. LOL!

OP, congrats! The Paxton is a nice addition but having a wife that shares your passions is worth more than anything. Good catch!

Lmao that's a test. Yes I agree I got lucky really lucky

Nice. Are you getting the Lund tune?

That's the only thing she didn't get Cuzz she didn't know if I was gonna tune it locally. But yes I think I'll be getting a Lund remote tune since I already have his ngauge.

A wife like that, is a rare commodity... :-) She is a keeper...

Agreed. Thank you.

Thanks everyone. I'm super excited can't wait for the kit to arrive

So I was gonna order the Paxton from beefcake this week.. My wife has always told me. Yeah babe buy it. Whatever the part is she'll always say order it. This week she has been telling me not to order the Paxton. And I'm like that's weird, so I asked why? She says wait till next week blablabla. So I just told her sorry babe I just ordered it (not really, just messing with her). She goes omg noooo and she shows me the messages on fb. She has been talking to beefcake and just ordered a Paxton kit for me. She has been acting weird I never once suspected she was gonna buy it. She's usually involved with my car addiction. She gets her hands dirty works on the cars. But this time she got me good. I know I married the right lady.

Ps. Beefcake she says your very nice and were very patient with her. And thanks for your help.

lol

we've been going back and forth for a minute

she told me that she has been putting you off to wait wait...



I try to be patient as I can with everyone, we are always super slammed, so i hope if i ever seem short with someone it's only because i'm so busy.

i had a guy that bought a kit the other day, had been trying to buy multiple places for months, and told me i'm spending thousands of $$ and no one will talk to me for 5 minutes.....

and most of those places sell full pop at $1000 more, and won't take time

it always amazes me

NEVER SHIP PARCEL POST TO APO!!!!!

Sorry for yelling but I can't stress this enough. Parcel post can take up to 10 weeks to ship. I know this from personal experience after being stationed in England and Japan.

It sucks and it'll be expensive but first class is the best way to go. You'll probably have to break it down and ship in multiple packages but it's a lot better than waiting over two months for parts that are going to be stuffed into a boat crate and not tracked.

Not sure when that was, but most things take about a week or two to arrive APO. I've been doing this for 20 years and can say it has improved dramatically over the past 5 years. At least in Europe. MPS Treats first class and parcel post the same, space a. Unless you mean ship directly overseas, that would be pricey and customsy.

[beefcake]

the dimensions for the kit are just too large for the apo shipping

I just left Japan in August. MPS has no control over the shipping until it hits the APO distribution base. USPS puts Parcel Post packages into a large shipping container and when that container is full then they put it on a boat.

If your package is in the front of the container it could take two months to get it. If it's one of the last to get put in you might get it in two weeks. Only way to guarantee a fast delivery is to use First Class or Priority Mail.

This isn't arguable, I lived with this for 7 years, and very recently.
