Where is he?

Where is the greasy B-hole that designed the $%!#@& D50 ttb? I don't want to talk about how rediculous hard it was just to change out the passenger beam pivot bracket but crap man.

On a good note though I was able to verify that the ball joint I thought was trashed is actually still nice and tight. That grossly deformed bracket was allowing wierd movement throughout the steering linkage because the I beam was free to roam and it mimicked other issues.

Yeah man. Thanks for the brackets by the way. Exactly what I needed. I got em yesterday morning and did the job yesterday afternooon. I couldn't torch the bolts off since I still needed some in there so I had to be able to reuse the little buggers. That's what made it tough. I thought about the cutting wheel many times though. I'll tell you one thing. If I ever get a dana 60 I am going to destroy those dang bolts.

Yeah like the ttb team and the fuel bowl designers for starters. I'm thinking line em up and war hammer to the bean bags. I also had stupid big trouble lining up the spring eyes when doing bushings.
