I noticed this previously unknown "mod" while under the jeep today. Seems that the shop that installed my RC lift, failed to mention to me that the TB mount on the axle side was worn out/elongated. And were kind enuf to take it upon themselves to drill out a new hole about 1'' inch from the old one.
The TB is an adjustable from RC, and while there really isn't any noticable problems at the moment, other than the jeep having a 4'' RC lift on it
The question is...Am I looking at an "issue" that needs to be addressed ?
Do I even dare to to take it apart and see what the new hole looks like?
Was the the new hole even drilled out correctly? , or torqued properly?
Shit! for that matter were any of the lift components?
After all they were the ones to convince my stupid dumb ass to go with the RC in the 1st place.
And when they handed me back the keys, Of course the jeep was DOA as someone left something on and drained the battery. It was ridiculously toed-out, and pulling hard left, the axles weren't centered, the steering wheel was misaligned, and the new exhaust was leaking like a sieve from the incomplete welds.
Bravo! boys, Bravo! You guys are truly the salt of the earth. Oh, and I almost forgot, I can't thank you enough for the now leaky rear main seal that I had you replace for me as well. I couldn't have done a better job myself. Oh well, live and learn. In a previous life I would have gone full blown postal on their sorry asses.
Anyhoo...should I bring it to my local welding shop and have them weld on a new cover plate, front and back, and bring the TB back to the original location? And then what, drill out the new hole?, or have the shop pre-fab the plate with the new hole already in place, and then weld it up? Or should I just shut up, let it be, and have a few adult beverages?
