Thank you for the sizzle you bring to my table.

Bacon, my desire
Crispy, sizzles on my tongue
I devour swiftly

I received a Craftsman kit similar to this one as a gift a while back :tup:

How much did you end up paying for it? I saw a salvaged one close to me, offered the dude 500 but I had to pull it off myself. Nah...lol
Im still installing the 5th bow fix. Theres a push nut washer that ruined my life. Finally got a replacement from Nissan.

So the GF called her family overseas last month and spoke for about 45 minutes. Come to find out later that the charges were 5 dollars a minute!!! :icon14::icon14::icon14:

Just called my carrier and they were able to get me on an international plan. 33 cents/minute... and revise that call last month with the cheaper rate. Went from $230 to $14 in charges. :eek:
I pulled a redando and called up the carrier and made sure that CS rep's manager recognizes that rep for great cs.:tup:

$500 is very very cheap for the whole roof, do you mean the metal frame and all the hydraulics?


I bought mine for about USD$2800 including the crate he has to build.


Mine has both hinges broken on both sides and Nissan doesn't make replacement part for that. :icon14:

does her family on the other side has whatsapp? you can video or voice call using whatsapp, it uses you wireless data or home internet.

I use it when I need to call people oversea.

Yeah, the whole assembly including the hydraulics. Wouldve been nice to have a spare set of all the parts.
He had a few wrecked cars he was parting out so I think he was just buying wrecked cars, parting them out, then sending off to the junk yard for scrap metal.

The internet connection where her family is is very expensive, slow and unreliable. She used to skype, but their internet service went down for several months.
