but it goes real well off road and will go even better once it has some grunt from the dyno run...

No matter what anyone say's if you are not happy with the outcome you have the right to voice your opinion and any reputable company should listen .But if there is any issues the "reputable company"should be given the opportunity to fix them before they go any further which by the sounds of it you've done so if they can't fix it or they are not willing to fix it go your hardest to get it sorted$14k is a lot of money!!!! looks great though, but it is ashame if you can't drive it!!!!!!!!!

I think you should be able to trust the work done. They are professionals in their chosen field of work, usually a field that you are not, which is why you take it to them to do.
If you aren't mechanically minded how would you know that there might not be enough clearance on the front driveshaft? How would you know what to check at all?
I think it is reasonable to expect that the pro's know what they are doing and to do it properly.

Schmick looking truck though! But you cant reach the locker switches when you are watching DVD's!

Exactly. If i paid 14k and got a dodgey job i would be pissed too. Reputable companies, especially well know and with many franchises should do a good job the first time, this is what they are being paid for. I would do the work myself too but i am not that mechanically minded and even if something was done wrong i probably wouldnt realise it straight away unless it was making noise.

Stay calm mate dont fly off the handle its not going to get you anywhere, work with the DoFT along their terms and you should get it fixed.

Good luck.

P.S. Nice truck by the way and yes you will cry when you get a nice big dent in it, i would anyway :D

Sorry to diappoint but i aint Angelina Joele, :(

But yeah it is a quite capable truck with front and rear airlockers it almost(WILL) goes anywhere.

Thansk for all your support guys it means alot to know that there are all you guys out there who support each other!!!

I was messaged by a guy today who also got the same company to do work to his car the they phuked it up too he took his back 3 times. Definetely a warning, however i have had a lot of support from my friends at Midas at Bowen Hills who have spent endless hours working on it to try and rectify the probs as well as alot of advise from friends of Linc - Ontrack 4wd Centre and South East QLD 4x4 Centre. Great effort guys...
