No rock, +10 years then sell it…can you imagine what a JT will cost then (or even if they will still produce them)and hopefully some of that price drag will follow the used market…lol

My experience on this forum. Different dealers provide different levels of service on different issues.

Later at 10, special report: water still wet.

they don’t call you Sharpsicle for nothing.

quick question about the receiver. It shows 320 ft/lb of torque for the middle bolt. I called a shop today about having the receiver torqued and they could not believe the torque spec would be that high. They stated that their torque wrench goes only to 250. I'm not sure what to do.

320 ft lb is bonkers high, I have a 55 mm fastener on a vehicle in my shop and it's only 170 ft lb. To get it off, I either need the Big Ugga Dugga or a breaker bar with a jack handle on the end. Nearly double that torque on a plastic top is not possible. The top will crack, the body will strip, and the bolt will sheer off before you get even close to 320 ft lb.
