    I am having a really hard time believing a fab shop would try to pass that off. Who would look at that and say it's good to go? Absolutely insane I mean they didn't even attempt to cover it up by grinding?

    Well, better start believing because the guy admitted to doing to the work. This was the part of the cage that faces the roof so it was only seen when the owner cut the cage off and dropped it down. He says they realized right away that the work wasn't right but Chance at Califab would not let them take the truck unless it was paid in full, and drum roll please.......... $13,500 for all that work!!!!! Dude is a straight con artist. What a joke.

    ...too much shit to list.
    Well it's the top side of the cage. Not everyone can weld by sound and he clearly didn't design the cage so you can drop it down to 360 weld. Looks like pidgen shit because he couldn't see. Not defending him at all, I hope is business finally goes under. But it's real easy to make shitty welds if you are used to seeing what you are welding

    What about the internal roll cage he did on an FJ a while back that he didn't tie in to the frame at all. "It's cool I sandwiched the mounts to the floor, they aren't going anywhere". K, till it rolls and takes the floor with it and crushes the person inside against your shit cage.

    You shouldn't have any issue. Snorkels do not effect smog equipment in any way shape or form

    Don't parents teach their kids to look both ways before crossing anymore?

    I'm sitting here at a stoplight and it turns green. Some teenage girls decide to cross anyway. Some folks see that and decide to join. Then more people cross. Even a fucking mother holding a baby decided to cross and stop halfway and take in the sights. Some people are too damn stupid to walk on this planet. Meanwhile I'm throwing up hand gestures, and I'm the crazy one. If one more person crossed I would have lost it.

    10 points per person. 20 for old people. Score is multiplied by amount you hit in one go.

    How about this.

    Pedestrians yield right of way out of cross walks, but its still our fault if we hit some dumbass jaywalker that jumps out in front of the truck. What kind of shit is that.

    Also @LTDSC Sam, see I told you they don't always have right of way. Only at crosswalks. You still can't hit the idiots that decide they have right of way in the middle of a street jaywalking in a 40mph zone.

    21954(a) CVC – Pedestrians Outside Crosswalk - Every pedestrian upon a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway so near as to constitute an immediate hazard. (b) The provisions of this section shall not relieve the driver of a vehicle from the duty to exercise due care for the safety of any pedestrian upon a roadway

    Countertops so fancy you can't even put your beer down on it.

    And you paid 40% less than what I'd pay for it in CA.

    Before I take it to a TV shop, anyone good at soldering circuit boards? I don't have a magnifying glass or fine point solder tip (or really the skills to attempt it myself) and my TV suddenly lost its backlight. After further research turns out the Vizio TV's solder jobs are crap, and theres a 16 pin connector in between 2 circuit boards that gets stressed to much at install and the soldered pins pop out once the TV is used for a bit. I've got the circuit boards out and can see the broken solder on the back of the circuit board where the pins are popping through, But we're talking about an 1 1/2" of circuit board with 16 pins. If I tried it It would look like the tin man took a shit on it lol.

    Would rather pay someone here, or buy some lunch/beers before I take it to a shop.
