    That's what I'd do...but apparently sistering another post next to it sitting on the concrete will be the course of action :frusty:

    If that sistered post is under structure/framing, that would be option #2. I'd use some 6" GRK structural screws. Alternating so you don't end up splitting the 4x4.

    So, what’s wrong with that?
    It’s on it a bit now. Throw a 6x6 on that bitch with a half dozen lag bolts and it will
    be good to go..

    Oh, you're right Mike. But I'm the guy who aligns all the switch plate cover screws in his house.

    I got done me some new sneakers.

    IMG_7627.jpg

    The only problem is they are radials, not bias ply..
    Sooooooo
    I had to re-adjust to 0° camber. Camber changed when I put them on…
    So broke out the 6 foot pry bar.
    First time with radials on this trailer ever. Going to be a comparison first tow..

    Nope. Homeowner special. He tried to fix a three way and half his house stopped working so he called us. DIY follow ups are our bread and butter.

    Just like I did. Then, they scream and yell because it cost a lot more for the repair and we are the bad guy/girl. Diagnosing, tracing, repairing the problem and then repairing the crap that got ruined is always a joy to present to the moron…

    Glad you explained this cause I was racking my brain (yea yea I know) how that could actually work for a period of time.

    The thing is there is so much stuff out there it literally hand holds you through things.

    Exactly. Ten minutes looking at YouTube could have prevented this. But...you and Crystal have bills to pay so it's all good
