    Well, my RCD kit is complete. Everything looks fine and went without a problem except when they took the tires off. My mechanic called me and wanted to know who I pissed off? He said my drivers front tire had been slashed on the inside. At first I thought he was kidding or could have been from something I hit on the road. Once I saw it I became ENRAGED. It was OBVIOUSLY cut with a carpet knife of some sort and been that way for some time. The cords and belt were exposed and the cut was absolutely surcically smoothe. My issue is if somebody has a problem with me, don't potentially take it out on my wife and 3 year old if they happened to be riding with me when the tire blew. I dont understand how people can be this vindictive. Sorry for the rant but I am RED HOT PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!!

    I feel your pain man... Before i lifted my truck. I had my g/f take my Nitto Mudd Grapplers and Rockstar rims to get them mounted. She went into a micheals and the four Brand new tires and rim were stolen from the back of my truck. I was pretty pissed off but there was nothing i could do. My insurance company said i need renters insurance in order to get the money back. So my g.f Donated 2200 tires and rims.:mad:

    Thats so unfortunately true, I love growing up in CA except for how gay and stupid people are. people are so up tight about what movie stars have and what other people have, everyone wants what they can't get and instead of working for it they steal it.

    Especially doesn't help when we are so relaxed on enforcement of crime and immigration.

    After I 'm done in the service Im buying a nice piece of land in rural North Carolina.
    Im DONE with California

    haha just my .02

    Do you have a picture of the cuts?
    Check your brake line extension brackets. That might be what is cutting your tires on the inside.
    It would touch only at full lock. Turn your steering all the way to one side and check it out!

    Good Luck!
