check out this u-bolt

I I shows eirc (97yots4wd) so he can verify that cause thatt video doesn't do justice

It is kinda lame cause I wanted to get it over with b ut I needed to call it a night. Cause mosquitos made a meal out of me it sucks

 

He must have been drinking while working on the truck

 

I was..

And how much more clearer do you want me to get? How else am I supposed to explain some weird ass defective bolt that I've never seen before?

 

I think he was talking about this, nbd bud lol.

 

I wonder why I have a though in my head that allpro lacks alot. From them hassling you about a U-Bolt I dont understand how they could even say anything when It clearly shows the threads do not spiral in the vid, its their fault/defect they should replace it free of charge and get you the part asap.

With just me trying to get incontact with them was a pain in the ass. I called once and nothing called again then this guy answered and said their are having communications problems and it would be better if I email them, so I emailed them twice and about 3wks later I finally get a response which made no real sense to the question I asked. Then I said fuck it and never emailed them back. Comes to find out my friend called about a bumper and they were able to help him on the phone about a week after I called them.

all I wanted was some fuken slider's... guess Ill give 4xInnov.... a call.

 

i got my springs ubolt flip kit and ext brake lines within 3 days of ordering i was pretty happy with that, and i can understand then being suspicious of the ubolt like maybe i damaged it and looking to get a free one. i still havent heard back from them but i dont have anything to do at work so ill probably call them till i get an answer

 

That doesnt look like a "manufacturing defect". It was intentional. The lathe cuts what it is told to cut. Must have been made on a monday at the Allpro manufacturing facility. haha

 

I have 4xinnovations and i have no complaints, adam is great to work with!

You would think they would spare a few minutes doing quality assurance before sending a product out.

 

well it really isnt noticeable at all until i looked at it under closer inspection if i took a pic it wouldnt show up at all

 

yea right, like they actually make the u bolts lol. They dont even make their bumpers onsite

 

yea, a Chinese elementary school in Fujian province makes them IIRC

 

x1000

how hard would it be to thread the nuts onto the bolts a little and ship it that way.

 

ive had similar experiences with Allpro. I asked two simple questions. " do you have skid plates in stock and what are they made out of?"

I got

No we dont have them in stock we are expecting a shipment soon. I will get back to you on the material and when we receive the new skidplates.

Never heard back...

FWIW mostly foreign steel goes by "gauge" like on their website. All american steel is in inches. not saying i know where they get their steel, just think its a little fishy its in gauge measurement. Give me good ol' american quality steel. It is proven that american HREW is stronger than chinese DOM. and 3/16" (.1875") american steel is stronger than 3 gauge chinese plate (about .23")

 

I had the same issue with my flip kit but the nut was cross threaded on the U bolt I sent a picture and a Email to Sue and got a new one pretty fast. It wasn't that big of a deal seeing how I caught before I had the truck all apart.

 

my truck is in peices anyways so it doesnt really matter lol

 

Do you have a tap and die set? That could fix it right up.

 

i do but it wouldnt work on that since there arent any threads in the first place ill just make a nasty mangled end on the u bolt

 

If you make the vid in the link smaller on the screen it gets clearer & no, I wouldn't use that bolt even if "fixed" with dye. It's too important for that.
