mrbigtanker Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Eh, He was a total ass-hat! But I also would feel bad, cause I know how running a small business can be. Not going to call anybody, That just added a big frustration I didn't need. He could have been a lot nicer though. Saying oh fuck, I am not making anything at $60, and other smart ass remarks. Awesome day huh? Time to get cracking to be ready for Canby. Well i would teach the small business owner then,i agree with tristen but sometimes people need to learn the hard way so they dont pull the same shit on another guy. Quote Link to comment

Yep. You need to weight the situation with the final result. Is all the effort of talking to a supervisor, filling out more paperwork, waiting extra time for a larger refund, etc. really worth it? If the extra cash makes up for all that effort then by all means. But if youre not out any money then I say just fuck it. It was obviously an accident and wasnt due to his carelessness.

Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 I am still thinking about it. He has no supervisor lol. I believe it is just him and his insurance. Drives a old 79 ranger with a tow package. Probably shouldn't have got a guy off craigslist to do it, But I have used him 3 times before successfully. It's more his attitude was my problem, I frankly don't really care about the money. At the time I was worried about finding a tank quick since this is my daily. I figured if I saved close to $50 on his tow I could get another tank, and it would pay for my old one. Quote Link to comment

Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Haha good story. That's what I am saying if he would have just been cool, and not such an ass I would not care so much. He was trying to get me to pay $90 only $15 off what the original price was. That right there was insulting imo. Quote Link to comment

I had a spare, but just bought a grill for it to go on. Trying to buy more though.. q-tip, I'm lookin at you. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 From what I have been told, the main big difference is the 6 square plates behind the bars. Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 JDM grill does not have any square plates and you can tell if its JDM because there will be no rivet holes anywhere on back of grill Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Interesting.. I'll have to look at mine. I got one from Malaysia. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 JDM grill does not have any square plates and you can tell if its JDM because there will be no rivet holes anywhere on back of grill Hmm I guess the guy who said that was wrong then lol. I know that the other 68 grill I have does not have these plates. They technically are 3 rectangle plates looking from the back, But look like one piece from the front. They go between each bar and there is 6 sets of them on the grill. Two on each side and two in the middle. Any info on this "DREWSDIME"? Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Well I have a few JDM 68 grills, and alot of US 68 grills. Like you guys said the main difference and the only difference I can tell is the 3 rows of black plastic strips that rivet to the top and back side of the grill. All the JDM grills I have do not have these 3 strips and have no rivet holes on the top of grill or the back. Someone correct me if Im wrong. I can post some pics later. Looking at the pictures again does your grill have 3 rows of plastic strips or are they metal? Quote Link to comment
