in fact, I have just gone back and read the last 100 of your posts.
you offer no insight, or try to help ANYONE on any questions
or problem they have.

you are rude, not funny and obnoxious and offer nothing to anyone.

you troll the board and look to talk shit about people, and stir
the pot (so to speak). and offer nothing to no one, but maybe
a giggle here and there from your DIM WITTED humor, because
you think your funny.

you mad bro...??

THIS DISCUSSION IS GOING TO GET CIVIL RIGHT NOW. OR IT WILL DISAPPEAR.

Check my profile Tenny if you don't own a PC and your phone doesn't automatically display it. I'm not just a mod here. I'm part owner of the forum and it was my idea to start it after years of discussing functional offroading on Trailvoy.

Personal attacks aren't supported here. Tenny, you weren't personally attacked. Your claims were met with skepticism. Deal with it and address the issues, not what you think of people or their personalities.

You ordered them out of spite? Really? Sounds like you're trying to bait people in to attack your post again, must love playing the victim. Childish at best. Please join the adult world and then come back.

That is right go talk with the big boys and let us adults get back on track here. If you don't heed that advise that roadie has given you about this getting civil then you are far better off not saying anything at all.

on a lighter note indeed... :roll:

It was a repeated problem with quite a few people over a long period of time, I believe the troubles started way back on trailvoy.
Your right, it's generally from over torque, but those spacers in particular seem to have issues even when torqued with a torque wrench. I dunno if it's the knurles are garbage, or they drill the hole in the spacer too big for the stud they're using or what. Obviously you can get them apart when they spin, but it sucks. I like to save money like the next guy, but with all the problems we've seen we've learned to steer clear.

Let me see....you bought a product that's probably going be defective, that won't fit on YOUR vehicle because the ultimate root cause of my annoyance with those asshats was incorrectly machined CENTERBORES, not the stud recess, but you short cut the research phase of the project thinking it would bother me that you sabotaged your own truck?

That's like crying: "I'm gonna hold my breath until YOU turn blue." :facepalm:

Thinking I am guilty of overtorquing a stud is also ludicrous.

So you're either lying to troll us about the spacers, or you value our advice so little that you'll do the opposite, again - to troll us. Since the mission of the site is to enable and encourage functional, REAL offroading, and not mall posing, I really think you might find a community more to your liking over at Trailvoy. Please visit there during your upcoming short vacation from ORTB.
