with the reassurance from the guy I dealt with on it, passed on insurance and -of course- it showed up cracked in 3 places, one break almost putting it in two pieces. Mainly because it was wrapped like S*** (Oh it very strong, plus package very sturdy
) and it's fiberglass. So after getting a partial refund of $50.00 for the damage, and much labor in repairing it to my satisfaction, I am back to having something "new" again (really for as much work as it was to fix, 50 ain't squat).And now on to my present dilemma. After fitting it on the car and doing some measuring, and measuring the amount of space between my front end and the concrete of my driveway when leaving and entering, the damn driveway is sloped up too much at an angle for me to put the mother on the car. It'll be smashed *again* no question. And since I rent, there's not much I can do about the driveway...
Too bad the thing can't be on hinges on the car...say, there's an idea...
So now, I guess I'm in the market for a regular stock hard-to-find lip, until
I can get moved somewhere else without this stupid ignorant ramped up driveway I got out here.
Yeah this will probly seem like a chuckle for some of you fools, but I was really looking forward to this Topmix front end, and now I'm simply screwed for the time being...anybody else have similar problems (yeah this kind of luck is hard to top I know)?
...wait a minute here's this long cord here...
...so I'm afraid to try it...most the driveways are like this in this neighborhood, musta been the style back in the day when they were layed, by a bunch of rednecks with pick up trucks
