Well, it's been a bit of a wait and a journey, but I'm back in a toy again.
Little history...started with dirt bikes way back when then sold all of them in 2008 and saved money and bought a house in 2010.
2014, with age comes a cage so I bought a L/T Rhino 700 off a buddy and drove that all over and had a blast but that 27 HP was not quite cutting it.
Then 2019 happened and I sold it cause I took a hit with work and lost 40% of my income. Trailer and truck we're going to be next on the chopping block had it continued.
Well, thankfully the company and people I work for/with are KICK-ASS and we weathered that storm...got back to full pay 5 months later.
I told my wife I'm tired of having a truck payment, that I had just bought brand-new in 2018. I told her I wanted to pay it off ASAP...but after, I wanted to get new toy.
She said you can get whatever you want if you pay off your truck...........(Alumi-Craft... :bag: ) LOL...j/k
Paid that off in Nov 2021, but knew it was going to be paid off so in October 2021, I put a deposit down for me and my buddy Dave for (2) 2022 Can Am X3 XRS Turbo RR 2 seaters, His in Black and Mine in Intense Blue.
Well, 9 months later here it is. I also bought a front bulkead/shocktower/front bumper kit and had the dealer (Moto United) Install it before I even take deliver.
So, Yesterday was to be the day, 7/28/22...I show up with my trailer and do paper work...and then start looking at stuff.
They are now a Dealer for DRT and I really like their rear bumper/tire carrier.
I said you make me a deal on this and I'll buy that right now..
They said heck yeah, we'll install for free right now.
Well 2 hours later and it didn't fit. they wanted to get DRT out there to see what's up as they did not want to EFF up my car.
So, I drive home with an empty trailer... :bigcry:
DRT shows up this morning to figure it out and they tried 3 different sets and all we're wrong.
This is not a slam on DRT...the jig was not set up right apparently.
They took all of them back and are redoing them all and making a new jig.
When the new ones are in, I'll just have to drop it off, but asked if DRT can just show up and install it on my car. Moto United said probably or they will come get my car for me, whatever is most convenient for me.
So, I went and picked it up this morning and let me tell you, this thing is AWESOME!
But too bad it's 100 degrees...OH well.
