Yup anyhow......

In continuation with early prepping for winter, I went for a run with mom and found a few rocks along the way to bag up for a little weight in the 04. It's enough for early prepping, but I'll wait to put the full amount in. I have a bunch of bricks lying in front of my project house, so when I'm out towards home again I'll get some of those.

Use sand bags dude... if you get in an accident, you don't want rocks and bricks flying everywhere, possibly going through your back window.

I don't want to get in an accident in the first place....haha

Who said I was leaving bricks or small rocks loose? They're in big bags.

Good point about putting them in bags. I just go to my hardware store. They sell 60 pound sand bags for 3 bucks. I've got 360 pounds over my rear axel.

It helps a lot. I run a lot more than that. It pays off too. That truck pretty much cannot be stopped in snow.

I have as well. He always seems very helpful and knowledgable, but for some reason, some of his posts lately.....oh well we all have bad days I guess.

Look, I may have misread but this is what you posted;

Update on the leveling kit debacle. The sway bar link was rusted in. And the steering knuckle is loose and won't tighten. Taking it to the stealership as its still under warranty.

To me it reads like you're trying to warranty the the items that were busted during install of level (I understand that the level never actually got put in due to road blocks) Then there was a follow up post about warranty and what the dealer covers and what you pay deductible.

Like I said, I may have read it wrong but on the surface with what I read it sounded like trying to stick dealer with warranty work due to you breaking things during install. I get warranty for an item that breaks driving down the road but if you're wrenching on it and something snaps or breaks, to me that's on you not dealer.

If I read this thing way wrong then I apologize but it drives me insane that there is were accountability these days and everyone wants to point the finger and try to pin it on the other guy.

Once again, if I read wrong I apologize.
