4-10-07 The day before i was going to trade my isuzu out...... i was doing 70 or 75 on the freeway.....the wheel turned to the left really hard without my control i gained control of it after it skipped a couple of lanes to the left then as i was thinkin "damn that was close" it chose its own path and swerved to the right and went over 3 lanes, just barely missing cars on the freeway. I got control of it while it was FISHTAILING on the freeway. pulled that b*tch over and got out and i couldnt believe what the hell just happened. i looked underneath and found out all that crazy azz driving was all because my lower right link bar lost its bolt,SO THAT SIDE WENT BACK A COUPLE INCHES WHICH CAUSED IT TO PULL THE E-BRAKE AT 75MPH.It waas freakin crazy i dont know how i kept it from smashing anyone!!! Long story short make sure them 4 LINK bolts are tight..... Post other crazy things that have happened to you if you have a good story. oh yeah if you were wondering the "CURSED ISUZU" is not mine anymore.

I see a lot of people with their link bars in with only a couple threads... that should be something people fix too! thread that shit in, order your bars the right length!

i had a bag blow about a week after i bought it goin down the freeway (no valves yet, just a schrader valve). fender wells werent even cut out all the way. it was a handful when the truck dropped on the tires in the front and body in the back instantly. found out the bag was rubbing on the spindle nut. BIG tip, do not buy anyone elses project unless you check over every nut and bolt. that was just the beginning of headaches due to a previous hack job and caused me to have to cut off everything that was done and restart. whats rediculous is it was done by a shop

(BIG tip, do not buy anyone elses project unless you check over every nut and bolt)HE SAID IT.......THE isuzu i bought already bagged, they messed that sh*it up, i think Stevie Wonder and the three stooges put my truck together, ALL THE WAY AIRED UP MY TRUCK WAS SMASHING THE TRANSMISSION SO ALL THE WAY DOWN IT JUST DEMOLISHED MY TRANNY AND ENGINE, they used popcans with holes in them for washers, they ran airline all the way up front of the truck because they didnt have the right fittings to go from the tank in the back to the rear valves, they took out the split driveshaft and put in a wackjob 1 piece driveshaft that can destroy rear tranny seals in no time at all, i blew up the motor thanks to them rigging some other oil filter to work for a while till it blew up and sent oil everywhere.They f@*ked me bigtime, just because it has a nice paintjob doesnt mean the rest of the truck is nice.

my airline blew off my front bag gauge and slammed me down pretty quick, luckily i was just pulling out of the driveway, they were also put in by a shop, with ziptie brackets and all! like chase said, check that shit if you dont do it yourself

I did a 4-link with my brother's buddy. I welded the driver's side tabs on and got called in the house, so he did the passenger side. On his way down 99 the passenger side tabs snapped off. It was his welder and he managed to F*ck that sh*t up! My brother said it was the funniest thing he ever saw. Said the truck would walk sideways down the road with the front wheels cranked...that woulda been some sh*t to see!
