    No. No, God damn it.

    Go in there and have him show you where on your contract it says anything about that. Are you talking to Kevin? If so, he's an idiot. Ask for his boss, and if his boss isn't helping you, ask for his. I've brought my 4Runner in there dozens of times and they tried that shit once. I've referred a bunch of trucks there and they've never lifted an eyebrow at aftermarket UCAs.

    If they still want to fuck around, the Firestone in Bellevue (right off 520) aligned my 4Runner a couple times with SPC arms.

    Don't do it, Brian. You'll smash your headlights with a hammer after seeing how much better the 4.0 is. They put my FX-Rs to shame. My favorite part is the cut-off of the high beam. It's a work of art.

    I just call them up and hook me up with the best shit you have and the box came 4 days later. The guy was talking to me and the only thing I heard from his mouth was this product is the shit. No bullshit. Gave him my card number right after he said those words.

    I've always regretted not doing a retrofit when I had my lights apart to do the BHLM, looking at these makes me think it may be time to crack them open again and actually do it.

    Friendly reminder, just because things are weather proof, doesn't always mean they're sealed tight enough to prevent a short. Fuses don't always blow and just because the shop you sent it to is an industry leader doesn't mean they don't fuck up. This is what happens when you send work out.

    Triple check everything that someone else does on any vehicle
