    That sucks

    And I say this not to defend Stellantis, but to point out their stupid ways (really a CYA on the dealer's part too, on top of being a money grab), the process is that many items that require programming to a vehicle entails the service manager updating RPO's and other vin-specific details

    For instance, when we'd get a vehicle in and there might be a discrepancy or two based on what the model 'originally' comes with (whether it be a trim, or an option but only part of it), you can VIN inquiry on the dealer side and see the separate STANDARD features as well as OPTIONAL.

    In that page, you'll have another list below as factory-available options that were dealer installed. Clicking it would bring up the date of when it was done, as well as the mileage and the dealership that performed said work.

    This actually comes in handy especially when dealing with service-related issues on those specific add-ons as sometimes you had a tech at a different dealer (different state even) fuck up the job.

    Have personally experienced in dealing with that as a manager.

    Made it over Imogene: no issues at all. I even did some of the optional harder lines and barely ever lost traction.

    @Wulf we made it most of the way up Yankee Boy but I turned back since Courtney was getting nervous, and I didn’t quite feel comfortable going up the last part without a locker.

    Hmm...anyone know where I can buy some aluminum rods, but small enough to run a long bolt through?

    I could go delrin but would like to maintain an industrial sort of look.

    I've found a lot but all are pre-cut or outrageously priced.

    Minimum length of 4" but prefer 5"; goal is to run a long bolt through as I want to build a little pedestal for my joystick and throttle.

    The "legs" will be 2 flat panels I bolt in together with the use of the spacers.

    Tried already; they have a ton and I just wanted unthreaded.

    Their non-threaded stuff comes in short lengths and the only thing that's "cut yourself" is polypropylene.

    I'm wanting to stick with metal.

    I'd think that black side panels with chrome hardware (or aluminum spacer) would look good for a subtle contrast.

    There we go! Wonder if they have shorter lengths otherwise I could chop those up in half.

    Appreciate it sir; google-fu was weak today.

    Started packing a mini run-n-gun kit to go record in NC when the outer bands of the storm came but she looks like she'll behave herself up here. A scenario I much prefer.
