ha ha ha I almost had to pay Philo when my beam bolt came off down in Baja but I was lucky enough to have John at Autofab there. He said, "boys, step aside and let the man go through", ha ha ha. He fixed it in no time. He didn't actually said that but did fix it in no time like the pro that he is.

I did diagnose the problem for you. Remember I got in and told it that noise was bad?

Hahaha! This should have been Bronzed, mounted and placed on the mantle for all to see. It would have been a great conversation piece to share your passion for off-roading!

Yeah the new bolt was a bitch to get in, it took me a while of prying and cursing to get the new bolt on. Good thing I had help.
