What exactly made you think of doing it this way?! Holy crap, I like that a LOT!

 

I like it too, think a chop saw can get to it? or a cutoff wheel?

 

Yay!!!!!

My friend and I are gonna be doing this later on this summer!!!! :-)

Aweeeeeeeeesome!

 

WOW, not only is that a BIG difference, but that is one NICE DAK!!!

AGREED on ALL Accounts... Big Difference, Nice Truck.. I never really noticed how bad it was til I saw your fix.

 

Wow! This appears to be a huge design flaw. Nice fix.

 

I highly doubt it was a "design flaw", these things are looked over 1000 times before you ever get to see them.

My guess is, they were having problems getting some crash test to pass and they had to extend it out for more crush zone.

Maybe scottscan should hit something and test my theroy!


BTW, I do like that truck - and the mod. SinceI don't plan onhitting anythingI need to figure out a way to do this to mine!

 

Eh screw crush zones, just make it stronger!

 

Ya for real, just add a few more of these connecting rods, or whatever in there. :-)

Problem solved! :-)

 

I had always noticed the misalignment on both GrayI & II. I just figured, oh well typical! The fix made such a difference that it can't be ignored. Nice work! Truck looks great. I wish your shop were in Florida. I would pay to have you make the change on my truck. You hit upon what a forum can do to make a difference by coming up with a valuable idea and sharing it. Thanks.
