    What haven’t I changed?
    I also ran my ARB bumper on stock suspension for about a year or so. The CV angles were basically completely horizontal, going over bumps was a rougher, and there was some nose diving under hard braking. Wasn't terrible, but wasn't great either, and I did get some good laughs out of it.

    He needs a scheduling book and a time table that shows what amount of time goes into whatever he makes so he can then know how much he can actually get done in 8 hours. I realize this is just an after school project for now, but he has a lot of potential if he doesn't let the work run him.

    I think you are currently on top of it, but the recent discussion should be food for thought.

    Or you can be blunt, be called an asshole, and get the attention due to you as a paying customer with issues.

    BTW, Corey is messaging me on Facebook now.

    Picked up a new customer called Super Vac.
    Thought they might make vacuums...like the ones that suck up prairie dogs for relocation.
    Nope. They build state of the art fire trucks. And ship them across the globe. 3 of them were being shipped to Honolulu while I was there.

    They took me on a tour of the facility, Very impressive and I never had a clue they were local.

    If you took from my earlier comment that I was calling you an asshole you are sadly mistaken. I was using old catch phrase "Opinions are like assholes, everybody has one" and it was not directed to anyone in particular especially you since you simply stated facts.

    Well I'm glad to see you made it out to talk to Corey about your concerns.

    Edit: I just finished talking to Corey. Next time you decide it's cool to stir the pot among friends here on TW. Don't be misleading. I know Corey been in contact with you with no response from you. And it's was your design on how he did the job. I'm going to let it be known 50% of this was you dropping the ball. So own your own shit. I'm done and I'm moving on, don't bother writing back you are on my ignore list.

    Here's the history. That's today at 9am.

    I know Corey can fix it. He knew I was upset, he knew I didn't want to wait, he knew I had zero patience left... Three weeks ago. He produced something that needs to be done, it's on him to get with me.

    Next time Corey needs to be clear that "I'm designing my truck" so I can be prepared for the blame for a poor design. Let's be clear, I'm not a fabricator.

    Corey has been impossible to reach, doesn't return my calls, texts, or majority of my Facebook PMs. It's a waste of my time to try to pin Corey down, it was up to him to tell me when and how the problems were going to be fixed.

    You guys are welcome for the rain.

    I cleaned my truck on Sunday... more than its ever been cleaned. If it weren't for the pin stripes, it'd look almost like it just came off the lot. But yeah, now rain.

    It's a deluge down in P-town. Flash flood warnings all over and for good reason too. I had to slow down to 45mph and hydroplaned for a few feet in one section on I-25. :eek:
