Buyobuyo's Build Thread

I think you’ll get the whole charge back if you win.

 

My friend came down today, and we got the passenger side bedside on. We also got the tail lights fit. One of the mounting tabs on the driver side tail light broke and the other is breaking, so I need to get a new light or JB Weld it back together. We also redid the zip ties holding the fuel filler neck stationary. I just need to get some rivets to attach the plastic fill neck holder and gas door.

 

Looks real good Jeremy

 

Thanks.

I also held up the transmission skid and it looks like it needs to stretch 1.5 inches.

 

Get me a width measurement and we will need a more exact measurement for the extension I can get a piece 1.5" wide just want to make sure

 

Width will depend on where we cut.

The straight part has bends on either side and the flat part is tapered. The tapered part is 24-13/16" at the narrowest and 29-3/4" where it bolts to the crossmember.

I'd like to add an x brace to reinforce it as well.

 

I, also, had to take off my sliders because the bedsides hit them. I'll be listing them eventually. I just need to get pictures and maybe clean them up if there's a decently warm day some weekend.

 

Looks good man, and as hawk said I hope they give you the full charge back. That would def open IPOR's eyes up for sure.

 

Thanks. The dispute is still in process but it's moving forward. I submitted the additional info that the bank requested and received a temporary charge back of the amount that I submitted on the dispute. It could be mid-January before everything is final.

 

Haha that’s rad man. Makes me want to call them just to see how they feel. Glad to see you are getting the charge back.

 

Haha. Probably not a good idea at this point. I left that review on Google, and they responded to it. I read the first line or two when I got the email saying that they had responded and closed it because it was bullshit and knew it was going to piss me off. I haven't felt like getting my rage on, so I haven't gone back to read the whole thing and see if I can respond to their response or edit my review to address their response.

 

If only for a DCSB...

 

DCSB and Access Cab sliders are the same.

 

I got the filler neck holder and gas door riveted on today. I glued the broken tail light tab last night, and it snapped off when I went to tighten it down. I ordered a new OEM style light from Amazon, so I'll have that in about a week. I left the tail light mounted by one tab for now.

 

I have a set of OEM tail lights if it's not too late. Sorry for just seeing this.

 

No worries. The new light is already ordered. For the right price, I'll take them off your hands in the spring if you still want to get rid of them, so I'll have a spare set.

 

I got my 500 miles in on breaking in the new rear diff and changed the fluid after work. Everything looked good on the drain plug, and I retorqued the nuts on the third member. They all moved a little bit. The nuts that hold the bearing plates to the axle were all good.

 

After reading post 171 on page 9, I wont do business with IPOR. Thanks for the information, and sorry you had to deal with such shitty service

 

Had a chance to glance at the response from IPOR about your review...yea man the first sentence pretty much states their disposition with a "we were never notified of these issues." Pretty weak if you ask me as obviously you emailed them before elevating any element of the situation. Would be funny if you attached your email in response to that so folks could see that they cant even keep a straight face about shit. Shops have let me down in the past for errors, but man to flat out lie about shit is a new one for me.
