No argueing...I explained what I thought that happened, showed the manager the really bent bar, and he agreed.



SpeeCo Toplink Category 1, 1 1/8th Heim Joints(pair) $35.99 x 2 = 71.98

DOM 1.5" ID - 2.0" OD - $16.15 Per Foot x 13Ft = $209.95

Normal Hourly Rate $85 Per Hour, Discounted to $60 Per Hour x 2 Hours = $120


Tax = $16.91


Total = $401.93



Thats what I'm putting on a invoice tomorrow once I get to work. I put the discounted rate to make them think I saved them a dollar and I'm a nice guy lol...cause $85 a hour is normal for us....plus depending on the job size we charge a mininum of $25 per job for welding supply.

Fair?

I garantee you put your hands in front of you and acted like you were holding on a steering wheel, possibly an engine noise or 2

If you feel the need for an Exo cage on your Jeep you don't belong on the trail. Stay in the Kiddy Pool.
Rausch Creek. My Jeep does look a little different now, that's an old pic.

How do you like this Exo cage?

That Jeep thing is running 2 1/2 ton rockwells front and rear. The tires were filled up with water too. It was comical watching him. The tires would squish the water out as it went over rocks.

I think it was from driving through water and the slices in the tires and missing valve stems.
