Correct.

Over the years, I have had customers ask if there car is all fixed up etc etc. A fair number of times we repaired vehicles along side worn out parts or know some of them were that worn. I call and explain and then let the Customer decide.  What I have learned over the years is that when they show up to pick them up and ask if they are all fixed or good to go etc etc..... just say yes. Any explanation of reality jwould ust confuse them. They just want to continue on their way exerting as little effort as possible  :nw

Knowing the above statement, yep, they paid Glamis fab to fix it , so its all fixed up.  rofl

I have watched a number of his videos. I find them oddly entertaining, to a point.

When I see them burning powder coat and/or paint off to weld everything and anything back together...... reminds me of whe the local welding shop in waynoka charged douggy $80 , to basically , weld a gusset across 2 tabs and not a pretty weld job. That was on his yellow and purple rail.

I saw one of those vids previously. They get people back in the dunes pretty quickly for sure . Some of the work is a little sketchy but the people going there don't care so long as they get back to the fun.

I hope I got the cv flanges sealed. The gear lube washed 90% of the grease out of that cv. New springs should be here today. Made mounts for the used seats i got from brian n. Children wanted seat sliders so they bought one. I don't like sliders but on them.  Will  probably be fine

Didn't want to work on Scott's anymore but, since I'll be running the red rail for this next trip, it needs a bit more work. First on the list is re seal the left trans cv cup. It was leaking gear lube into the cv on the last trip. Brakes, they kept fading on the last trip and the rears suck by design. Thought I had a bad master cyl on The front but after some checking, it looks like the front wheel bearings are too loose. I repacked the old bearings and thought I had them re assembled correctly. I was rocking the wheel and there is more move.ent then should be. I will have to shim if I cannot move one cotter pin hole.

Rear end, ordered new springs as it is bad. Many saw how bad it pogo sticker on the dunes. It was set up for a lot more weight then I'm putting to it so thats one factor.  Comp rate is 60 and rebound is 90. Going to slow rebound to 2-1 , if I have the shims and I ordered 225/325lbs springs. It is coil assist air shock so I would rather go light and add psi. It currently has 325/400 lb springs. Setting ride height with only .5" of pre load now. I know I can go as much as 2" of pre load. The cross over collar is set just about as high as it can go to avoid coil bind now.  That is a massive drop in spring rate and coils aren't cheap.  Ill bring the old 325 upper with me and if nessacary ill swap the 225 out. Don't have room or time to calculate it out the right way at this time. The pogo sticking is dangerous imo as it makes it very un predictable.

Would also like to install the other seats but thats low on the do to list.

Did not know any of that ! Great info.

I am not sure on glue or gasket. I know both well but ease of replacement is a factor and we both know which one is easier.

Ground tooth jig saw blades will not be painted and teeth have very sharp points like circular saw blades are. The blade will usually be hollow ground as well making tight radius cuts easier. 10 points per inch is a good choice. The teeth will also be alternate set left/right just like a good saw blade is as opposed to regular wavy set junk.
