Re: 5\" SUSPENSION LIFT
Ok here is some more details... Mark after riding with us wanted a rig and I said Id look out. At the event, Dean mentioned Dan webber's rig which Kevin(boston mangler on the jeep forum) mentioned to me too. I said Id go look at it if I got the number, and tell mark about it. The night came for me to look at it and I asked dean to come along for kicks and he knows the area better then me. We get there at night and with the previous notion that Dan is willing to sell for 2000.$ since that is what he said he would do without the amplifiers in it. Great I say, who wants amps under the seat anyway? Not Mark or I or anyone else going into areas with deep water and mud.
I see the rig and its a winner hands down. I couldnt get it because I had no money and Dean was telling me the same thing unless the guy would take 500 or so dollars that night. There was no way that was happening. After talking to him for what seemed like an hour out in the rain and dark cold night, I asked dean if he was getting it, he said no he didnt have the money and i said ok. I go in the car and the first thing Heidi says to me is, man I wish i had that, why cant we get something like that? Well that cut all, I called dad and asked if i could borrow 1,300. and get it tommorow. He said sure (its never this simple) and I popped back out of the car and told dan I could give him 2k for the rig first thing tommorow. He said I dont think so, and me and dean where flabergasted that he changed his mind from last night. After 5 minutes I said im leaving and if he changed his mind to call me.
On the way home in ten minutes dean calls me and says Dan called him and said we could make a deal could I call dan and work it out? I do and we agree on 2100. tommorow night in cash. One time deal. I busted my ass all the next day with phone calls and affirmations from everyone. Meanwhile I have a dilema on my mind, Mark was supposed to get this rig and now its me. I called him and he says that the one thing stopping him is its spoa not spua which is the legalaties in maine. He is looking into a 5" calmini lift in maine that would be legal for him, but if the rig is right then hed buy it and change the axles out. Well i figure, i look at this rig for him in maine for 2k that comes with two extra rigs! and its better for him, and good for me. The day goes by and I have it all lined up and im waiting to meet him at seven. The deal is, I borrow 1700 from my dad and he gets this rig for either elk hunting or to sell whatever he wants to do with it. But I have to drive it over right away, which as it turns out is perfect in timing. I have to be on the west coast to go to edmonton for training anyway as everyone knows. Well 5:50 comes and I call Dan to confirm and get a tele number for dean who has expressed to me that he wishes he could buy the rig now and is sickend with the fact he didnt jump on the opprotunity like I did, but this guy john who is dans friend also has a built sammi for sale. He answers and tells me that I dont need to come down because hes sold it to some jeep guy who offered him 2500. I was floord and pissed off, I tried to explain to him what I have to do now regardless of whether he sells me the vehicle or not. Thats drive 6 days across the us in a sammi to deliver it. Yeah sure I could give the money back, and I will if I dont need it, but a deal is a deal and someone expects a sammi in washington next week. My word is good and ill make the trip. He tells me "well its more money, you can understand that cant you? and I said "so its 400$ to define what kind of person you are??" You broke your word and I busted my ass to satify the conditions you wanted for your rig. He says well we didnt have a contract! and said yes we did we had your word and thats worthless apparently or at least refundable in your mind. He hung up on me.
SO I call dean and tell him whats up. He calls and trys to feel out the situation with dan. Turns out dan was lying and didnt sell the rig,and was trying to see if id jump up to match the price. Ha! But he never presented it to me like I had an opprotunity just that he sold it. Dean says well if your not in a rush id pick it up for 2500. And then they agree that theyd sell it to me for that price but Dan doesnt ever want to see me again! Well dean calls me up with the "good news" and tells me again that he really wants to buy it but would do this for me because if he did their would be bad blood betweeen us. I said Yeah dean, after all ive done and still have to do, id like to buy the vehicle. Well now I have to pay 2500 but I dont have it, so im giving dean 2k and trusting that when I give him the other 500$ as soon as I can that the vehicle will be mine. Its a can of worms, but like my approach on the hills, I dont like to give up, even when they tell me I cant. I can see a way, but its just not pretty. Heidi still wants it, but we are about a month and a half away from recovering on the purchase of this house. In fact its so tight that im driving across the states with 300 on the texaco card and two hundred in cash. The only reason I have that now is because mark is salt of the earth and loaned me a hundred for the road. What a deal huh? Im just glad Dean and Mark are helping out. There is your details, hope it didnt put you to sleep. Max
