...All 6 pieces brand new, $100 total...
...Last year at this time, the cheapest I could find them was about $160, plus tax, and they wanted $70 shipping and handling and I was going to pick them up in El Monte or City of Industry...

...Yes I did...I still need to mount them plus all the other parts that are in my X...
...And today was shopping day to get the X back on the road and some tires for the Ranger...
...I guess I'm the only one who went crazy this year with the March Madness Sales...

...They have a big sale every year and they didn't really advertise it as much this year..
...I was looking on AGR's site for a local retailer of their power steering pump...I clicked on 4wheelparts link and seen the sale was going on...At the top of the page they listed their price matching policy so I was off and running...

..
...I haven't even heard any commercials for that yet...
...I am hoping work will pick back up, as it died off again...Once I get the new parts back on the X and get it smogged, It may just have to sit some more...

Starting with the Basics...
...Today I had the chance to do a much needed, common repair, that I had found the answers to here on the Forum...My Door Latch Post Bushing replacements...
...This winter, my bushings for my door latch post deteriorated...I wnet to Home Depot and picked in hopes to find tubing by the foot...I wound up having to buy a 10' roll of 5/8" o.d. x 1/2" poly tubing...
http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2157267#post2157267
...I grabbed a knife, my ratchet, and my T50 torx bit...
..The tubing and the bolt...
...I cut the tubing to fit and replaced both rear hatch post...
...Then it was time for the drivers door as it literally fell apart when I opened the door...

......Darn it, I knew I forgot to add something...It was about $8 bucks for the roll...They do not sell that small size of tubing by the foot at Home Depot but other hardware and landscape stores might...
...I am done buying the whole post out here for $10-$20 at the junk yard just to have the plastic bushing crack and fall off with in the year..I figured I would give this a shot and so far, so good..

I just read this entire thread... and it's 1 a.m. What the heck am I doing?
Anyway... nice to see the whole build-up lol. Mine will never get that big though. I don't like the way they look that big, or with SAS's.
