    Why? I've been tossing the idea of getting one of those around, are they garbage or just ridiculous priced?

    Guess that's just what I would expect to pay for something that looks as good as those do.

    The "plastic" is a mudflap. But instead of the rubber ones that are about 1/4" thick, it's only about 1/8" thick. It's soft and pliable, and I like working with it.

    Next set of days off is bushings. My truck wanders, and it's eating the shoulder off one of my steer tires. I figured I'd put new tie rod ends, drag link, check kingpins, etc. Well, the front end is tight as a new one. So I got a piece of steel and my trusty tape measure, and my drivers are way out of whack. For example, you can measure between the wheels from front driver to rear driver, then check the other side, and they were an INCH AND A HALF DIFFERENT! But all four bushings are wiped, so I'm going to replace those, then line it up myself for fun. Then I'll take it and have a three-axle done so I can see how good I did.

    I got this one for $1350 off truck paper.
