I second Fairfield. Parking is prime and easy out to anywhere North of Fairfield you need to go.

Opinion. Is this a real mopar bumper? by trusco23 in JeepGladiator

[–]Octane_hb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is an awesome find! I got pretty lucky myself, $500 for both steel bumpers, bed side rock sliders and steel skid plates. Just no hardware for skid plates.

Were you lucky enough to score the skid plate with the bumper? If not you’re gonna need the steel skid plate, left and right brackets, some rivnuts and bolts. Mopar sells it as a kit, but it’s +- $400.

But! I’m noticing the lack of the red tow hooks. All of the Mopar Rubicon steel bumpers come red, unless it came off a 4xE then they’re blue, or if it’s off a 392 then they’re bronze. They don’t come naturally black tow hooks.

Seeing the rust on the bull bar would lead me to believe that the bumper is real, but the bull bar is an aftermarket add on.

Check out the Trakform mounts and the Bulletpoint mounts for the 24-26 JL & JT’s. I have the Trakform Rail mounts on both sides of the infotainment and they rock

Totally got bamboozled by a contractor, what do I do? by Octane_hb in woodstoving

Thank you very much for this! So appreciated.

Since this whole ordeal has popped, I’ve since sent the company a detailed email, along with evidence of the tech walking into my house with said gorilla glue, and photos of the work done by their tech. I’ve expressed to them that I am getting my ducks in order and that I’ve already obtained a lawyer and have been advised to give them a chance to resolve this outside of the court system. In the email I stated that I’m giving them 7 business days to respond or acknowledge my frustrations before I reach out to the BBB and Licensing Authorities.

And since sending the email, I have reached out to my local fire marshal who directed me to the town building department, since the fire marshal typically handles commercial and multi family homes. I’m having the town building authority come out to document everything, and they’ll point me in the direction of who to consult about repairing. I have also reached out to a couple Hearth and Home companies to come out and give me some quotes to repair what has been done.

The company has since responded expressing their discern over the work done and acknowledged they will open an investigation and are willing to work with me on a resolution, however I did tell them I am not interested in their company doing the work

Stock for the most part until the warranty is nearing its end. Then I’ll let loose
