New Tailgate Assembly - D90/110

[SMOB]

Bought from RN with the intention of giving it as a gift, but that went all to hell. Wife wants it out of the dining room. White. Haven't removed it from the box. $119 from them, but $50 for you. Please, God, someone take it.

Really, really, seriously prefer local D.C. pickup.

Unless you can get local pickup.

Could use it.

Oh, alright. I'll do it for Pendy. Preference on carrier? :)

[cgalpin]

You have very bad timing Steve. Or I do :)

[pendy]

You all got Fed Ex shipping in your area, or a kinkos to drop it at?

I will PM you.

Is Galpin un happy?

sure would have been nice on my pick up for that price. I have been in Mclean twice this week already...

Jim was first, but I'm sure he'll allow anyone to plead their case. :)

Not unhappy except I did just buy one for $110 and it wasn't local so I am still waiting for it to trickle down the free parts express :)

[pendy]

I will be sure to take pictures and post them here for posterity. Any Virginia stickers to stregthen the statement?

[cgalpin]

Much appreciated. If you haven't caught wind, we have a happy hour tomorrow - you are welcome to join us

Steve, if you haven't shipped this to Jim yet, the person I bought mine form (Sal in NJ) made a good suggestion - that he ship his to Jim, and I come get yours. It will save you the hassle of shipping and me the wait.

Oh and I guess if Jim doesn't object (I don't think the shipping would be any different and what Sal is selling is the same thing) let me know.

thanks,
charles

Sal is a good dude. If pendy does not want the direct ship, that tailgate should be coming to me via Dom and then at the end of the month DB will take it back with him.

[cgalpin]

Yeah I'm in no crazy rush - just seems silly to not take advantage of the opportunity to swap

[evilfij]

Agreed. Call Sal tomorrow and tell him to send it with Dom if you can't work out the swap.

[pendy]

So are you offering to pay my shipping? LOL

I am fine with the swap. Fingers crossed they are both the same quality. I will PM you an address or put me in touch with Sal. You may have to wait until Steve gets my check though. Unless you want to pay for the tailgate and for the shipping to send yours to me!@%&*%$

What you suggest makes sense.

JPUh, what am I supposed to do, now? Hang around my house until Charles comes to whack me and take the tailgate? Under orders from Ron?

I, too, will vouch for Sal - he sold me two solid seatbelts, no problems whatsoever. I have yet to install them, but that's another story.

Followup: Jim, I assume you'll send the check, so I'm ok with Charles coming to get it at his leisure.

[budz]

Guys, Tailgate is the same as RN selling and will post picture soon.
Jim, Spoke to you long time ago about 2.8hs conversion that Sheki recommended. Pm me your shipping address and will drop off tailgate by Monday. Thanks

Sal

[cgalpin]

Steve even better, bring it to happy hour today!

[SMOB]

Steve even better, bring it to happy hour today!That may be impossible - been dragged into a kid waterslide/pool party in my backyard this evening and then the wife may be going out. So, you could stop by OR I may be near the junction of 50/15 tomorrow. And we can always work it out another way this weekend.

Followup- I MIGHT be able to stop at Jays - if I can, the tg will be yours. Stay tuned.

[cgalpin]

No worries if you can't. I'm headed to the beach tomorrow at 0-dark-30, but we can schedule a pickup later this month.

Thanks guys,
charles

Follow-up Post:

Actually I'd want to galvanize the back of this, but I don't think I'll make David's galvanizing run as the paint would need to be stripped first. So no rush :)

[pendy]

Hi Sal,

I'll PM you an address and my fed ex number. You ready for a 2.8l yet?


Charles,

I have a back already galvanized.


Steve,

Check in mail. Don't send the clowns.

Follow-up Post:

Sal's tailgate is white isn't it?


White is what I am after.

[evilfij]

Sal's is the same as the RN ones. They all are takeoffs.

[SMOB]

No worries if you can't. I'm headed to the beach tomorrow at 0-dark-30, but we can schedule a pickup later this month.


Damn, I'm sorry.. I also realized that the box won't fit in my M5 or the wifes car. I get the truck back tomorrow, too. If you somehow read this while you're in Arlington, PM me and maybe you could pick it up tonight.

And Jim, no clowns, they scare me into a little girl.

[pendy]

Just butt out Ron.

I asked what color Sal's is. The one I was getting from Steve is white in color.

I have already bought a couple of these tailgates. I know what they are.

[budz]

Jim, Tailgate is white and I have 3 available. I got your pm and will drop off Monday if disaster strikes I let you know.

Sal

[pendy]

Thanks Sal,

Ship it when convienant. Not in a hurry on my end.

[evilfij]

Pendy,

edited I was just trying to help. Sal works nights so he is not on here during the day and I talked to him about what he had last time he was at my place so I knew what it was (the white ones like RN and everyone else sells) so I was just trying to save some time.

Ron

[pendy]

Screw another sheep, huh. But decided to take the high road and edit. Gosh must have an image to maintain.

Sit on it Potsy

Not all the tailgates are white. I have purchased non white ones from RN. Sal confirmed what it is, so go clutter up another post.

[budz]

Tailgate shipped via Fed Ex yesterday and will pm the tracking number. Ron, Thanks, I got the soft top from Dom.

Sal

[pendy]

Alright thanks Sal

[Ren Ching]

Happy Days!

[cgalpin]

All's well that ends well. I'll let you know once I get mine from Steve :)

Back from the beach this weekend?

[cgalpin]

Back from the beach this weekend?
Nope not this weekend. I'll only be back late Saturday afternoon/evening, and am wheeling Sunday.

If you work out anywhere near Chantilly or Herndon let me know otherwise I'll head your way one evening or weekend.
