    For the time being, I'm just gonna say that the vendor fucked up the design and requirements.
    That said, they have been exceedingly vocal about trying to make it right and told me to use this one modify whatever I need to in order to make it work. So we'll see how it plays out over the next couple weeks. Either I'll end up being a happy (or more accurately a moderately pleased customer), or I'm going to be one of "those" guys on every social platform known to man.

    That sucks.

    Just weld the outline of a dick on it, and sell it here, then have them send you the right one.

    If he was able to weld a dick on it, one of you fuckers would give him $500 more than it was worth and there'd be a fist fight over the privilege of doing so :D

    If one is patient, stealthy and quiet, it's possible to observe the elusive Tacomaus Long Travelous in it's natural habitat...fucking broken and on jack stands.

    Well it started out as just a blown shock. Was leaking out the resi. So I pulled the bypasses and noticed an oil leak from the CV axle seal. So I pulled that to replace. And then I noticed the bushings on the lowers. Good fucking lord.

    Ignore my neighbor's music. He drives an Audi so it's status quo

    Oh they were dry as a 60 year old whore in the Sahara desert. I never greased them since I bought it. But I've only put 5k on it since I bought it and half of those was driving it from Virginia.
