    Shipping tires

    Yes it does, I deliver Parcel Post to the USPS everyday. It just travels on a FedEx truck now and not a USPS truck to get across the country. Amazon uses it, its the slowest shipping method buts it's also free. (most of the time)

    Rear Rotor Replacement - Does Expensive mean Better?

    I will agree that you need the proper combo for the application, road racing requires a different set of brakes than going to the mall. On my work van I've used cheap, better and best, they all do the same thing, stop the van. The cheap does not last every long, about 4 wks, better lasts about 6...

    Shipping tires

    Man I deliver tires all the time, I hate it. It is the weight that is killing you on pricing. Slap the label on the tread and then wrap it with packaging tape so it wont come off. Also commercial address are cheaper than residential, so ship them to his work.

    Brake Rotors Issues

    The only reason those screws are there is to keep the rotor from falling off as the car rides along its trolley on the assembly line. I have never put those screws back on anything and never had a problem. After a rotor has been on for awhile it wont just fall off when the wheel is removed, the...

    Brake Rotors Issues

    On the DII the rotor is not part of the hub, it seats over the hub like on any other car. The wheel then holds it against the hub, remove the wheel and the rotor will fall off if you look at it funny.

    Side "pitching" sudden increase?

    I had the exact same problem a few years ago, it was the bushings on the anti sway bars on the rear axle. Unbolt the rear anti sway bar, drive it, does it act the same? Worse? Better? You can unbolt it from the suspension, leave it hang and drive around town to test this.

    Brake Rotors Issues

    The ONLY reason rotors warp on any car or truck is from being overheated. You are using the brakes to much/hard and overheating the rotors so they are warping. Either stop being so hard on them or go with drilled and slotted rotors and be prepared to replace pads often because the slots act like...

    DII Tranny diagnosis help

    Theres not much to go on. Have you looked under the truck? Is there a giant puddle? Howling noise up front, blown front diff or broken CV joint. You cant just tow dolly a Land Rover, you have to remove the rear driveshaft.

    End of my Land Rover days...

    I had my windshield replaced, I have glass coverage. The glass shop knocked my headliner down, they had to pay to replace it, it had to be ordered from Land Rover itself in the UK. $1200 and I had a brand new headliner at no cost to me.

    End of my Land Rover days...

    See, thats all you had to do, you went off on me not me on you. I was generous on the miles, obviously, I knew it was a '03 SE7. With the radiator and condenser crushed, even though it does not look like it in the pic but I believe you, I can see why it was totaled. I know a guy who owns a...
