[Milsurplus] OT: "Surplus Stupidity" Is Alive and Well.

[Bob Camp]

Hi

The other reported issue from those who *did* take one or more of them - pretty much beat to death. They spent a lot of time being driven over very rough terrain by people who were more concerned with staying alive than preserving the shock absorbers. 

They are no different than the car in your garage. Buy it as a bundle of parts and they cost a *lot* more than a brand new one right off the lot. Once enough stuff needs replacing, they don’t have much value to somebody who indents to use them for their designed purpose.
