Why you send back alcans?
to get reworked.
The Alcan springs worked fantastic, but I was on the bump stops far too often. I'll be shipping them back to get reworked for a couple more inches of lift. It was my own fault, when I spec'd them out I didn't count on frenching the front spring hanger, so I lost some height there.
Never got to the bottom of exactly what the issue with my welder was. I've switched to a new cylinder of gas, but still from the same shop. Still occasionally have a porous weld for no good reason. I plan to get another cylinder from a larger gas supplier and see if that solves my woes. Today it was working well enough I finished the rear bumper.I don't plan to build a swing-out for this year, but it's something I imagine I'll do in the future. I went ahead and welded in two spindles... planning ahead. This way when I build the swing outs I don't have to have the bumper powder coated again. I took a close up of how the mounting point for the side-protection ties into one of the main mounting bolts for the bumper. Slick design. Thanks Luke.
No Can-Back under my tree! After missing their thanksgiving shipping estimate, they told me Dec 13. Then they missed that and most days wouldn't answer their phone. After too many excuses and no response to my email and voicemails requesting a refund, I went to my bank and filled out the paperwork disputing their charge.I did get a hold of them just after filling out the paperwork. They gave me a long story about how the shop they subcontract the sewing of the tops to got their wires crossed and had been producing other models instead if the 4Runner tops they were supposed to be making.I told them I'd lost faith in them after two missed dates and them not answering their phones, and had filled paperwork to get my money back. They were sympathetic and not upset.I told them if they get their act together and have a top on the shelf ready for IMMEDIATE shipment they could call me back.
You can bet after all this fine work, he won't be out in the rocks going crazy!! He appreciates how his ride looks!!! I can respect that!!!
The paint will not keep me from Wheeling it hard, but it will keep me from being stupid while Wheeling ... HopefullyI do appreciate clean rigs!!!I had to have the FJ40 touched up a couple times... Stuff happens. I can only hope this paint job turns out as well as the FJ40 did.
