Considering that 7 were loose and one was stripped I don't even think they used a torque limiting impact wrench

His derailleur hanger was cracked and he needed a new one. He didn't want to pay the $25 for the part, 2 days later he came back saying I didn't do the work, but I had wrote down that it needed a new hanger and made him sign off on it the first time.

All it takes to do a good job is a little pride in your work, too many people treat their job as a necessary evil

Lol. No, I bet he swapped stock tires to drop 2-3" plus remove the roof rack. But that is funny as hell looking

Nvm, you meant the ricer. Need to drive slow as hell as to not damage the kit. It's funny watching ppl drive with slanted tires and that stuff. They swerve around every lil bump

Planned on a front brake job, only to find out both front axle U-joints were whipped!! So a $17 trip to Advance Auto Parts and back in business. I love buying jeep parts. Almost nothing is more than a $20 bill.
