Finally ready for my Moab trip next week, driving down from Seattle to wheel with my cousins.....Big brake Kit (check)....New tie rod to fix the bent one (check)....TrackBar and Sector Shaft brace, got a good deal and said why not (check)....recenter the rear axle (check).....and finally Gusset the C's yesturday (check).....I get home from picking up my Jeep from the shop, after they welded the gussets on, to take another look at the job they did and something just didn't look right. I texted these pics to my cousins and buddy and they agreed something looked off.
With a 5 sec internet search that we all did at the same time, we all texted back within 5 sec's of each other and said they they are welded Upside down!:
I immediately took it back down to the shop where at first he said that they (the brackets) wouldn't fit in the other way so he did it like that. He tried to tell me that at least they will still be stronger than stock and that he would trim up the bottom edge if I wanted......hmmmmm........at first I agreed to that (He's a family acquaintance, so I didn't want to make thinks awkward, even though this was his screw up)....I then went out to m y Jeep and stewed about it for a few min then I went back in to say I want it done right. I leave next Thursday so he said they would get it in on Monday to fix it. Now a 2 to 3 hour job will now be an all day project.
So should I be concerned about damage to the C's ?..... :doh:
