    @BamaToy1997 Is the place to go to. He has up to a 250 amp and does all the wiring to go with it. Awesome guy to deal with too. Helped me out on my build too.

    Thanks for the kind words. BTW, I never did hear back from you. Did the replacement ground terminals fit properly?

    Yeah sorry. I need to ship those back to you. They also didn't fit and were loose. Possibly an issue with the manufacturer? Also now have some other issues with my set up and the IBS system not linking. Would you by chance be free for some time to help trouble shoot stuff either monday or tuesday afternoon?

    I can see about that. I have never seen a set that didn't fit. Seems unusual for sure. PM me about the issues you are having with the IBS.

    So to start things off, last Thursday I had a lot of things to accomplish within a short period of time. I got off work at 8am, and would need to leave by 6pm to head up to Flagstaff and begin the fiancées birthday weekend. Around 930am I was headed to ADS only to drop off my mock up shocks that I borrowed. Brian had already told me my bypasses would most likely not be finished either :( During my 10 minute drive, I hit the brakes coming to a red light, foot went to the floor, then I immediately slammed on them again. Soon after I felt a horrible grinding noise as I looked out my driver side mirror and watched my back tire fall off the truck and roll to the left lane.... I sat back in my seat for a good 15 seconds in complete disbelief before I got out and dodged traffic to retrieve my tire! What a mess that was on a busy ass street surrounded by idiot Tucson drivers...cracked my glass and found all 6 lugs were sheared off, leaving my wheel spacer still attached to the wheel...
    [​IMG]

    Luckily I had a number to a tow truck driver....who actually turned out to be a distant cousin of mine...haha small freaking world! Ended up charging me $20 for gas and got me to the 2nd shop that would eventually fix and get me back on the road! :)
    [​IMG]

    With that said, screw firestone at elcon mall!:mad: Manager said it was all good, then came over a second time after my truck was all the way unloaded into their garage before deciding he wouldn't work on my truck...real piece of shit! Hats off to my cousin Gavin for the tow and Mark and Chris at Superior Automotive Repair for getting everything fixed by 4pm! :thumbsup:
    [​IMG]

    During the repair, Brian at ADS called me around 3pm to tell me my bypasses would actually be ready to pick up that day! I cant even describe the up and down chaos going through my mind but the day had completely turned around for the better! Didn't even have time to take some pics of the bypasses before install

    Broken Arrow, Sedona 9/19/15
    So after the fiancée and I looked at a couple wedding venues in Sedona, on her birthday she agreed to take a quick trip to Broken Arrow and test out the rear suspension :cool: We only played around in the first obstacle area since it was already late in the evening, but it was plenty enough for me!
