Nerf Bars

:mad:

This is typical!
Ordered RAM Offroad nerf bars that are supposed to bolt
right on my 02 AV 1500. Assured over and over "Them's the right ones!"

Picked em up went to a friends with beer and tools started putting them on. Got to the rear bracket and whatthe - it doesn't match up!

Called the offroad center where I purchased it and say
"The rear bracket doesn't match up."
Of course their position is - Installer Idiocy. Bring it down, we do tons of these, we'll put it on, you're an idiot, it'll take an hour.

I've already got it 80 % done and it's going to take an hour? So I go down there (45 minute drive) they drive it round back and I walk off for lunch. I come back 45 minutes later and they say " Uh, The bracket doesn't match up."
No **** sherlock. So what now? Why didn't you call me 20 minutes ago?
Well. we've got you all loaded up and you can take it back home and remove everything you've put on and re-box it all up and bring it back down here and we'll refund the charge and order one from another manufacturer. It'll be about a week.

I say yeah or?

They say or we can get in touch with Ram Offroad on Monday and see what they say, or we can hire a welder to fix the bracket so it matches up.

Whaddya wanna do?

Shove this thing through yer ear - that's what.
(Just needed to vent!) Aah that feels better.

Is this site running painfully slow tonight or was my margarita too stiff?

You're right about this outfit. Last time I do bz with them. They treat me like a total ****head. Of course, I really am a total ****head but I really don't expect to be treated like one when I'm spending my cash.

I enjoyed the "Ugh, well we never put these on an Avalanche yet. They're new ain't they?"

Yeah, expensive too. So keep yer greasy hands off it. Aarrgh.

I hate dropping the dough and then being delayed on the gratification part.

BTW:To anyone who cares. The Ram Offroad Sidetracks Nerf Bars that are listed as fitting the 02 Avalanche - DO NOT FIT. I'll keep you posted as to the solution.

Tequila shooters for everybody. Put it on my tab. ;D

Thanks Glen!

Just ordered a black powder coat set today from Rick. Unfortunately black takes ten days or I'd have them tomorrow since I'm down the road from him in Tucson.

Will be boxing up this NON-fitting set tonight to return tomorrow. #$%&@**##!

Mv AV is white so the black is best for me.

I like the looks of the Billet grille doodad. Where is the best place to order those? What's the price range? Do you have to remove the existing grille and that chromed plastic wraparound thing?

And how do you attach the replacement bowties?

These are next on my Mod list.

Nevermind.

Just found all the billet grille stuff in the group buy area.

Installed the new Nerf Bars from Rick easily and they look great. Thanks for the tip.

I'm always going to start here when looking for mods.
