A local shop installed Cardone. I needed it back on the road today and had to settle for a local shop that demanded to use Cardone. This shop has replaced racks on 3 other 100s that I know. Unfortunately, my good shop in LIT is always booked up two weeks out. So my plan to get back on the trail this weekend totally backfired.

gf brought some win to dinner

 

Awwwwe shit fuck yeah!

Legit that both her pieces passed.

 

She was nervous af, but really pleased with the results. So proud of her

 

This morning, I got out and found the rack issue. The installer forgot to bolt down the rack. So the rack started twisting up and popped out the bushings when I was turning on a curve. I called the shop. The manager apologized profusely. They are sending a wrecker. At least it's an installer issue and not a mechanical problem with the rack.

 

This is fascinating

That's amazing, and the payout would've been monumental had you wrecked.

I wonder if this could have caused any damage to the mounting points. Usually isn't good when things are shifting around like that.

 

It twisted up the u-joints as the one inside the cabin was making very strange clicking noises from its binding during turns.

 

ugh that sucks. Hope they're fully honest about it.

 

The only shop that I can trust in this part of the state is Little Rock Mud Connection which is 90 miles round trip from where I live.

When a shop does excellent work at a fair price, they are booked up for two weeks. They know what they are doing.

 

Anyone need a diff drop for their prerunner?

 

The manager was embarrassed and very apologetic. He knows they fucked up.

 

Took me far too long to get that

 

All this talk of 2WD trucks. I like this. It makes me want to be retired, not in a hurry, with nowhere to be except the hardware store.
