Then you can look the welder in the eye and see if you have the courage to call him incompetent. Is that really what you meant to say? Very hurtful to the professionals that take pride in their work. Especially when they cannot defend themselves against your public accusations of their workmanship. \n\nOr maybe @Jeepsbikesboats you can just agree that Northwest 4x4, one of the most respected experts in off road vehicle construction and fabrication, knows what they are doing and when they did a complete inspection of the entire finished build they gave it the OK and suggested only ONE THING...add a larger pitman arm, which was done and installed by them. They also installed Yukon gears and the LED lights. \n\nProject cars or trucks don't come out of nowhere. They are the result of PEOPLE working hard and forming an emotional connection to the projects they build. What good does it do for you to throw unfounded rocks at an otherwise fun and harmless truck which has nothing to prove to you. \n\nEveryone builds things differently.
