Carlton is SLR being run by Spencer Senior? He is the one with tons of experience with Nissan's and from what I have heard he and Spencer Jr had a falling out about SLR...it's sad if this is true. As far as them testing their truck I have only seem a few pics over a year ago of their truck on a rock...since then it's all been about desert running. Some real world testing in Moab, Iron Chest etc would be nice to show everyone they have beat there parts up and they have survived.
AC is not new to the Nissan market, they have been in business many, many years and while their steering set up did not work that's part of R&D.
I have had three failures in about 200 sets of tie rod adjusters..and considering two sets were destroyed with trucks with damaged center links I would rather see the adjusters fail then a steering box be ripped off the frame when the tie rod end nuts hit the frame from a worn centerlink..wouldn't you? Xtoolbox thinks his were damaged as he was pulled across the Golden Crack and then he noticed the problem on the stairs afterward...another very extreme situation. Again I am using the FIRST prototype ever made on my truck still with no problems...go figure?
This thread is getting out of hand, SLR deserves more than this from us and so does all the other manufacturers of Nissan parts....and we all wonder why no one wants to spend the time making new parts for Nissan's. Spencer/Dez is it possible if there was a group buy that the price could come down? This was something I was just involved in for parts for my 69 Bronco, we had over 25 people who wanted something and this enabled the manufacturer to drop their prices since they had a big order paid for and ready to go. We are organizing another one for a new soft top being released this month...maybe this will help SLR and all of us out?
