4WD Parts Not So Cool
So my JK, Tigger, got picked up from the shop last weekend with all the mods done....at least that is what I thought. Until I was driving home that very night. The sound of shotgun going off under your brand new left front tire, wheel, brake, etc is not fun. You know something is bad wrong. Barely could drive it. Went 15 mph the whole way home, took an hour to go 5 miles. But nobody got hurt thankfully and they owe me a new spare MT wheel.......but am floored that after having it for over a week they "forgot" to tighten my left front (top) brake caliper bolt. NOT COOL. VERY SCARY. And they offered me really nothing extra other than replacing my MT wheel for the now spare.
If you were running that biz, would you not have offered something in addition, knowing that your client just dropped 8K plus?
Never had a problem in the past but may be going elsewhere in the future.

Jeep looks amazing. Could you not get a tow? I would've stopped. By the way, what wheels are those? The pic is tiny on my phone.

He said he spent 8K plus for “all the mods done”. A 3” lift was not even mentioned in the post.
Now to get back to the real topic. This is the way it is some times and this is the reason I try to do as much of the work to my vehicle as time allows. I feel for you because I have been there.

If it took you an hour to get home which was 5 miles away, you were going much slower than 15mph!!
Sorry to hear about the incident, but I'll ask too.... Why continue to drive it home?
