I think we all know that feeling. Don't think you're alone in that, dude.
Most of us have had that headslapping moment where we wished we had been patient and done it the right way...
My moment was with the qtrack tcase on a J10 full-size jeep pickup. The two case halves weren't going together, and it, not being my daily driver, should have been walked away from and thought about.
Instead I torqued another full turn and promptly destroyed the alum case...NOOOOOOOOO!!! lol.
Do it right the first time: Buy the best sye you can afford, cry once, and be done with it for a long time.
