Nah, that's just Thanksgiving training

That actually sounds like my normal night. Dinner, then chips of some kind, then whatever dessert I can scrounge up, then more chips, all washed down with Mt Dew or orange soda. And I still only weigh ~140 lbs. @#$% metabolism.

That metabolism doesn't last forever. I used to be like that and now I can't rely on the metabolism to do all the work.

I have actually had to stop drinking beer every day.

Well, add me to the list of people that have sheered the frame side bolt on the TNT trackbars. I was at the gas station leaving the lot when it snapped. Scared me to death. It sheered off flush with the nylock nut.

I'm happy it didn't decide to let go on the Interstat doing 75mph.

Is that a drill it out and put a bolt in it design?

 

[HaleYes]

No.

It's a knock the old one out and put a new one in design.
No drilling required.

[IntrepidXJ]

[bmyohn]

so TnT worked everything out, the needed a new die to clean the threads on the arms, so they thought that they couldnt get me a set of arms until next week, but i talked to Aaron at the front desk on the phone (she was really, really helpful) and she said the die got in today and shipped it out, she told me it would be here on friday!!!

so TnT pulled through!!!

[bmyohn]

is that the bolt that came with the kit?

if not what is it?

i picked up a 3/8" Grade 8 bolt (3.5" long)

That is the bolt that was supplied by TNT.
3/8" bolt does not fill the RE joint. It leaves slop in it.
I put a 3/8" bolt in mine for now until I have time to find out exactly what I do need to replace it with. But a 3/8" bolt will leave slop, it's diameter is not big enough.

My uneducated guess would be a M10 bolt. Slightly larger than 3/8, closest metric.
