    The vendor asked him if he didn't get the instructions. OP has no clue if they were sent or not because he dealt with a 3rd party that could have not have forwarded them to him in the end. OP doesn't know if they were included or not. Every item I've ever seen that has to be aligned in a certain orientation includes shims or a nut for proper alignment. There shouldn't have been any reason to over tighten this to align it.

    Given everyone says schooling is so expensive in the US even worse than here in Canada I'm going to assume any college kid driving a new car or even any car at times is mommy and daddys money. Because really if you're a full time student how much can you really work to pay for shit when you're already paying for schooling and possibly housing?
    After seeing how much it was for friends and ex girlfriends, siblings or my current girlfriend in college/university I don't see how a college kid can afford a 35k+ truck on their own.

    I was lucky I got paid for school when I was an apprentice so it wasn't as hard for me to pay for a car as well.

    have we found some folks to blame for our problems yet? or do we need to keep looking so we can offload all our problems?

    maybe this should be in italics. or upside down.

    People do go to college as real grown up adults.. does TW not understand that?

    Seeing how the instructions are electronic (they're just threads here on TW) the 3rd party is irrelevant. It comes down to if the vendor sent him a link to them or not, which he didn't

    No clue about OPs financial situation, but I do know anybody who is so quick to pull some kind of get out of jail free card is likely locked up for good reason.

    Less about fear and more about not bothering to lead the charge...takes time and effort. I was willing to throw my 2 cents on the wagon but I didn't feel like building that shit and driving it into the mob, lol. I applaud @EatSleepTacos for doing it though.

    I hear colleges are switching from issuing degrees to issuing excuses. A note pad form for my desk wouldn’t be half bad, actually. Then I can free my wall space up for more pictures of strangers that come with the frame from Dollar General.

    As much as I hate to agree with @EatSleepTacos because fuck that guy am I right?! But I agree with him....

    Two nights in a row with awesome threads....

    Let's not let this distract us from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS. And a Motec exhaust

    If you haven’t already built that shit wagon and driven it into a TW post mob, do it. It’s exhilerating.

    Maybe the Vendor should have held his hand and installed it for the person.

    That's a good way to put it, as "leading the charge". Glad I could take the lead :bikewhoops:

    You really should not rub salt into the wounds,as you were somewhat at fault also,and other buyers will avoid you,for fear if they have a problem you will be a pain about it.

    On the contrary, I find his candor to be quite refreshing and appropriate in this situation. I’d buy from him just for that reason, alas I’m not needing any knobs.

    Perception of truth is a potential lie unto itself. Don Quixote lead his charges saying they might be giants. Hammer Down! Rabbit Ears!

    (This means nothing as I just wanted to make a TMBG reference that likely won't get recognition)
