    Got down to discount and they left my spacers on. So now I'm sitting with 2.25" of bs...yikes. Guy started telling me I had an issue turning right and quickly retracted that when I told him I had asked for the spacers to be removed. Oh well going to be waiting a bit which isn't a big deal for me, but they are super busy so I feel bad for them.

    The shitty part is you then have to wait around while they finish other customers shit because they already started other jobs and thought your vehicle was done.

    ...too much shit to list.
    I'd do it myself at that point. Take less time and at least the lugs would be torqued correctly.

    I feel like all tire places are carnivals of clowns. I've had bad experiences at just about every major one. America's tire told me my truck was done with getting balanced and rotated when I specifically marked a wheel to see if it Moved. Gonna start dismounting entirely before I bring them in haha.

    Right? Don't know how long its been gone for, but one of my lock nuts on my rear passenger wheel is just...gone. All the lugs on that wheel were just a hair more than hand tight. I blame myself for not checking up after Big O mounted, but I assumed straight from a tire store everything would be copacetic. All the rest of the wheels required a breaker bar/impact to get off (obviously they didn't use a torque wrench) except that one wheel that was done by hand possibly?

    Thats what I carry most of the time. When i wear a jacket I'll wear my glock. but my Shield is such a light print that I wear it under gym shorts and a shirt half the time running errands. If you like the .40, go for it. but its such a small frame, the .40 is a bit snappy. took me a while to get use to. I would see if you could go shoot one, and a 9mm and see which you like more.

    America tire was afraid to pull mine off. Do to the lock tight they said it might strip the studs, I said give me the wrench and I will do it. They quickly changed there mind and pulled them off with me standing over them.

    Yea I'm probably gonna go pick one up as soon as someone actually buys my parts lol. I've had like 5 people in the last 2 days ask me questions about the UCA's that was already put on the OP, and then ask if I ship, and then ask for my paypal...and then completely disappear. Sigh.

    Got the truck back after about 30 min of waiting. They started working on it right away, so that was nice. It ended up being the service writers fault. He didn't tell the techs so they left them on. They were super pissed at him and were very apologetic to me. I didn't have anywhere to be so I didn't mind. Glad I got there early though because if I had showed up when I was planning it would have sucked.

    I could have done the work but I was over getting home, pulling it all apart and reassembling after driving over the hill. Wasn't worth it IMO. They did a good job mounting and no damage to the wheels.

    Last but not least the sexiness...
