    Not sure about that. The Archive Garage version doesn't mention that there is a loss of articulation.

    It really sucks man, specially when you go to those “top shops”...

    Like I said, they run a business. Businesses are all about making money so they’re all about volume.

    In order to have higher volume, you have to work fast. What happened to you is the result of speed IMO.

    I can take a whole week if I want I, I’m NOT going to scratch my UCAs.

    How difficult was it and how long did it take you? I have mine and was planning to do them this weekend. Also did you do it by yourself or have an extra pair of hands?

    Funny thing was that when I first got them back they were filthy and I just thought the shop was sloppy. After I got home and cleaned them up I'm pretty sure the shop made them as dirty as possible to hide all the damage and I guess hope I wouldn't notice.

    Lol of course. All of the service techs were at lunch when I picked them up though, and the front desk person sure as hell wasn't going to get her hands dirty, so I just took them home and hit them with some Tub O Towels wipes ... and then turned into the hulk when I saw all the damage.

    5100s and OME 885 coils front, 5100s and AAL for the TSB leaf pack (overload left in) rear. Jeraco camper shell.
    Sorry if someone already asked, but is there a build page for this truck? And more specifically, that DIY bumper?

    ill never understand why people do silly shit to their vehicles, just like stick on vents you see people put on their front fenders. Your truck looks 100% better!

    Got started on my front bumper build today. This winch is as high and tight as I can reasonably go. Now for the not fun part of bending and coping tubing, which I have very minimal experience in.
