    Many of AZ guys come with pitch forks when “one of their own” face consequences they deserve(d). We can’t make everyone like us, nor do we expect it.
    AZ is on 5.0...that should say something. Some may not agree with the decision but some complain about plants being green. We can’t possibly please everyone, but can’t allow it to be rogue.
    We’re not perfect- far from it. I think some of AZ sees it their way, and their way only. That’s fine; but some things we cannot tolerate.

    Lets be honest...IFS came to be for similar reasons and discussions that have been echoed through out the AZ bs thread. Sure, this post was rather passionate but the beauty of that forum is its a completely open mic for members in all capacities and it thrives for this purpose.

    Maybe its time that TW does get a ruling overhaul as obviously this sort of communication is not acceptable when at one time a derivative of this was around and was received with welcome camaraderie. I think the trouble with many AZ guys (me included) is that I think there is a distinctive shift in the culture here lately and I dont feel the COC in its current state accurately reflects this. This is TW so this is all the mods and TCbob's world...do as you see fit, just police accordingly and/or make some addendums to the rules that might help if nothing else to just spell out what used to be acceptable and what clearly isnt now a days.

    I know there have been many interventions lately with this topic especially outlined in the AZBS thread, but I think enough folks have sited that maybe its time for some rule adjustment to what makes sense for the mods. If the rules are there in a clear capacity Im sure atleast some folks might find it easier to comply.

    Not shooting for a butthurt here, just calling it how I see it.

    Let’s be honest, IFS came to be because solid axles suck. Why else would all the ultra 4 cars be switching to ifs from solid axle?

    You have some pretty good points.

    Don’t worry, I don’t take personal what @TailHook said. I’m cool with him (seriously).

    Why don’t you send me a PM of what the COC should state, in your opinion. I’m always open to change and if we can do it better, let’s get it done.

    Admittedly, I did harbor some anger, resentment, and sharp vitriol over the recent chain of events, specifically in AZ BS. However, becoming part of the problem just perpetuates it, and have since shifted my stance to be part of the solution.

    I think all of us can get twisted and lose sight of what really matters here: this is a community and we should all act like it. If we have issues, we should discuss them...rationally, respectfully. The AZ community in particular does some amazing things outside the confines of the forum. Now, right or wrong, I initially went with the sarcasm and passive aggressive posts to ignite a discussion, and that worked out great for me o_O. That said, I truly am interested in making TW a better place for all of us, and to @Coot83's point, think we can work together to make that happen. I think if we take the time to understand the other's position, it will be to the larger benefit...and may actually make your jobs a bit easier.

    Speaking for the crew, there are a number of ideas we have that we're happy to share...in a respectful fashion, of course. Respect begets respect, right shipmate? Looking forward to the response (seriously)

    I will hit you up in a little while after I make some good notes on items that could use a revisit or possible elaboration. Thanks for being open to the subject.

    Good rainy Wednesday to you all. Do we have any fab guys in here (like @XPOTRPR) that might be able to help me with a small problem. You see I bought some used KC Hilites gravity pro6s that a guy had on his truck and he hit his garage and snapped them off. Now one light was in bad shape but I was able to weld it back together and get it working. the bar came with one of the factory brackets on the outside but the other one was broken. I have some pictures I'll post below to show what I'm look for! Now KC has been an absolute nightmare to work with. So at this point I'm reaching out to the community for help. Thanks for your time. The 1st picture is my light that needs the mount, second one is the the one I need. IMG_0990.jpgIMG_0981.jpg

    I've extended the olive branch, and y'all can accept it or not...it's really your choice at this point. I've made a sincere attempt, as did @Coot83. Someone had to make a move, and that's what was chosen. We've done our part to make nice. Like @T-Rex266 said, y'all aren't infallible and neither are we...

    Either way, let's not devolve this into something it's not...I won't take the bait.

    Start a group PM with the AZ member, and get a list going....then do a Chat with the Staff post.

    Thanks, and appreciate the time/effort you put into this.

    You can think what you want, but we've all tried to have serious conversations before and hash out the bullshit. And it always goes back to fuck the mods. Chris already said start a chat with the staff thread. Until that happens, it's just same shit different day here.
