Dudes! I’m glad this humble post has been productive and saved some people from getting scammed.

Yeah instagram isn’t very good at banning these people so if they just change their name and keep advertising I’ll keep posting their handles on here. It sounds like a cheap hobby for me.

Yeah I was naive. I really didn’t know this community was large enough to attract grifters. Kind of silly, but yeah. Anyway hopefully this keeps anyone else from getting screwed over.

Yeah I reported him to the mods and then typed a message to the mods in the private business chat I had with him. He disappeared pretty quickly after that

It was PayPal but he asked for the friends and family so it doesn’t get protection. I’m screwed basically

Thank you mods for putting this in the correct place.

Hey guys I don’t know where else to post this but I totally got conned my a used parts vendor on instagram. They are called cruiser_onlineshop. Negotiated a price on some of his parts. Sent him the money via PayPal ($250) and got hit with another request for a $180 refundable shipping fee...

Would but that I had the money for a 200 series…

Yeah I just saw a tech demonstration of it in sand and thought it looked handy to have. I grew up near the outer banks so having a car help rock itself out of beach sand seems like a cool feature. I think you’re right though, I’d probably need to refurb and beef up every aspect of the system...

Meh, while I believe modern German tech would break if you looked at it wrong this didn’t seem that bad. It doesn’t jump all the way into the air or anything like a 90s low rider, it just looks like rhythmic up down shaking to be used in conjunction with the gas pedal. (Knocks on wood) my AHC...

So I just saw a video about MB creating a jumping mode with their hydraulic suspension to free a vehicle from mud or sand. It just kind of hops itself out while the driver feathers the gas pedal. Has anyone tried hot rodding our suspension to mimic that effect?

I don’t know where the part is located, honestly. I got fed up and had it towed to a mechanic. That dude ran electrical checks and isolated it down to a ground fault within the unit. Part number is 89570-60140.

Hey guys I have a really cool vintage North Face tent I got in Japan a few years ago and now have the chance to use. It went together great and looks brand new. Everything was wonderful until I tried to put the rain fly on. It doesn’t look like it fits or matches the tent. I’m posting pics...

Update on my issue. Turns out my fuel pump control module had failed.

Where is the fuel pump relay located?
