It's crazy that you let this bother you so much lol. If he wants to spend the money to have someone do the work let him, you still have a bashing buddy, and the shop makes money. Some guys prefer to just get their trucks and go, the only part of our hobby that they like is the driving part. Some guys like to build bashers that are ugly as hell but can take a beating, while others build shelf queens that will never be driven. Why do guys by a MT just to put street treads on and stay on the pavement, because they can. People have all kinds of reasons and ways to enjoy our hobby, if you like working on them, great, you'll save some money in the long run. It's the people who don't want to learn how to fix their trucks, but they complain about shops charging to work on them that need to make a decision. We had a guy come into our shop with a busted T-Maxx, we gave him prices for what needed to be replaced and he kept telling us that he had them at home, after that he asked a buddy of mine if he could have some of his spare parts, and also asked if he would do the repairs for him...for free.
