Many of us run aired down and abuse the sidewalls, so the extra strength is appreciated. Trail damage around here is from rocks and sticks and other trash cutting sidewalls. Your trails may be cleaner. The sidewalls are 2-3 ply regardless of weight rating.
Ramp testing aside, what I noticed from replacing my rear arms was I lifted the rear tires a lot less than before on the very same trails. Now, maybe the actual amount of articulation wasn't that much if measured in inches, but the ability to keep both rear tires on the ground was a huge...
Replacing at the very least the lower arms is one of the best things you will do to increase rear articulation. I would also include the rear track bar as well. Absolutely one of the best upgrades I've instantly noticed on the trail. Keeping both tires in contact with the ground will go a long...
Sure, but compressed or alternate schedules will have written rules as to what does and does not qualify for OT rates so there is no confusion. They probably don't think they'll really get a 32/40 schedule, so maybe they haven't even gone that far in planning.
I work an alternate schedule...
This is not a foreign concept and is used regularly in other settings. The medical field has used versions of this for a long time to fill less than desirable shifts without changing pay scales. 36/40 is pretty standard. It's just a higher pay rate and qualifying for full time benefits at less...
After a summer of reflection, I’ve decided to only fly the super cub and give up currencies on all other air frames. Time and money is at a premium and the cub is what I really enjoy anyway. Not that I won’t occasionally log some float time in a beaver, but I’m destined to be a 40hr/yr cub pilot...
The feel of my 3.0 rack has definitely changed over time. At first it was fairly firm. Now it requires very little input to steer, even at slow speeds. I've wheeled it several times and makes me a little nervous now with how little feedback it has as compared to new.
I'm not sure what responses you expected, but I think most people would get it fixed and move on with their lives. You're spending a lot of time and effort to be a victim here.
Trying to figure out how telling us you paid cash factors in, but have I mentioned I'm a pilot?
The shop removing the deflector could have also done it, even with the correct trim tools. The dealer could refuse and blame the other shop. Sounds like the dealer is trying to make it good regardless.
The reason the internet thinks they don’t fit the stock M210 is the video from Spicer that says they don’t. Others have confirmed some grinding is needed. Quite possibly these are modified to fit and the reason for the price increase over the 4.70.
Now they need to add the M220 so you can swap...
All this over a chip the dealer said they’d fix? It’s nothing. Get it fixed. Let the dealer pay. Life is difficult enough without purposely making it harder.
Makes me wonder how you handle real adversity.
Get it fixed. Move on.
