Good morning everyone. Up in NH again having a great time. Some family rented some ATVs up north and I just had to bring mine along. first time using this thing outside of my driveway, and it was a blast!

Those trails would be fun to take a Jeep or truck to, but sadly they're not allowed.

I spent the time and money to replace everything in the front end with XRF. Just going to hope the rest holds up. I got worried from the very beginning when I had emailed XRF directly to ask how their warranty worked and got a message back saying that their email box was full. Not a good sign.

I don't know much about XRF, but what I've heard is good. How trustworthy is this shop?

I've heard good things about them from others, my wife liked him right away, and although I have only spoken with him on the phone he came off as a trustworthy guy. Either the front end still makes noises once he's done, or it doesn't. Simple as that. He walked me through the work he wanted to do and explained to me the brands he wanted to use.

That stinks Greg.
But you can get a bad one of anything.
I was thinking of going with the XRF's when I had mine done this summer.
Now I am glad I spent the extra on Dyna Tracks.
I had to pull my turbo today and give it a cleaning.
I also changed the oil and put on a new set of rear brake pads.

Why not? I'd say a 35% positive feedback rating would be enough reason for me. Most of the negative feedback say that it's a scam.

Hoping to go look at an 88 f150 in Glastonbury this weekend. We'll see. Headed to the zoo with the wife and kid tomorrow in Massachusetts. Hope everybody enjoys the weekend. I was in PA last weekend making homemade apple butter with the family, and am selling some if anybody is interested. $5 a pint and $8 a quart
