I really appreciate the display of community and welcomeness that has been shown in the replies I’ve received here. Thanks for being such a great person And I wish you the best in life.
LOL - I have to say that I almost missed your new signature, the one that states...
"I’m just a fanboy... Per the influencer who’s jeeps are plastered with stickers of manufacturers who give him free products."
1. YES, you are in fact a FANBOY. You are a person who goes around the internet or on social media looking for discussions that disparage a company and or product that you've chosen to buy and and with the purposes of providing an unsolicited defense of them like your manhood is somehow at stake.
2. This is my home on the internet as in, I PAY for it to exist and for YOU to use for FREE. I've been doing this Jeep thing well before the term "influencer" was even a thing and MOST of the stickers you mentioned, the ones that are on my Jeeps, represent close and personal FRIENDS of mine. And yes, I enthusiastically choose to promote them because experience has shown me that they make superior products.
3. I don't get products for "free", I get PAID to run products on my Jeep. IN FACT, your beloved TeraFlex used to be one of those companies or at least, up until I CHOSE to NOT work with them. I did not want to be associated with a company that sold cheap china parts, ones that had potentially life threatening breaks and would purposefully keep quite about it. A company with "good customer service" reaches out to customers and to let them know about problems like this - this as opposed to waiting for customers to contact them after the fact. That to me is bullshit.
With that said, I'm happy for you that you love your TeraFlex products. Certainly, I couldn't care less what you've chosen to run on your Jeep and nothing would suck more than to have it built up with shit.
May I wish you the best in life.
