Everything will break in the right situation, but the svc tower has a thicker base and it's connected front to rear, so I'm having a hard time imagining what went, I'm assuming the bolt.

I am having the base on both side removed and replaced with a thicker base and putting a third bolt in the middle of the plate. I do not want this to happen again.

That's no good, no doubt they'll fix it, is it the same two bolts on each side that I have on mine? If so, keep me informed, cause i'd prefer not to suffer the same fate, that light tower breaking free could cause some real damage.

On Mike's truck we welded the nut to the bed rail rather then feeding the nut through and clamping it down. With the cannons being a bit heavier then a bar it caused the weld to break loose. Like Mike said he was the first to get a tower. The weld process works but rather then tack both sides we will full weld around the bolt.

On mine, it's just bolts that are passed through the base and the bed rail. No welding. My light tabs are also different, they hang off the back instead of in the center like hi., I had some problems at havoc with the cannons shaking loose on the rough course, and they would shake more violently with the bolt loose which resulted in the mounting tab bending.

Hey everyone,

I can't thank everyone enough for attending the Day In The Dirt event. It was great for us to see everyone regardless of their experience level push their trucks, and themselves to another level. Sometimes these kind of events can be a bit overwhelming or intimidating but everyone looked out for each other, waited up to make sure the guy behind was still behind and ultimately had a great time. For a full day of off-roading there really wasn't much carnage. Everyone kept the wheels face down and hopefully built up a new found confidence behind the wheel. All-in-all, we couldn't have been happier with the whole group and will definitely be doing more of these in the future.

Once again, thanks to everyone who attended, you guys rocked.

On a side note:

I talked to Sergio and Zac this morning and they had a blast taking everybody for rides in the race-cars. They wanted me to personally say thank you to everyone who took a ride with them. No one squealed and no one got sick, and that's all ya can ask for sometimes.

Thanks again

Jarrett

Thank you, Jarrett and the whole group a SVC. You all are a great group of guys. It was great to put faces to names of the guys who make me love my truck more and more.

Better be careful inviting those guys back unless you're planning on building 10 cars rather than raptor parts. Guys are gonna start sidelining their trucks after seeing what those buggies are capable of. Serg is a madman and one hell of a driver. Still gitty after doing the loop in his rig.

All in all, great job SVC. Great times in the dezert. Not much more you can ask for.

Well hey, there's always room to expand the shop right!?

Also big thanks to SVC (is there and echo in here)!

It was great to meet everyone and thanks to Joe for helping me with my GPS!

On the plus side, the event convinced my wife to let me get the Baja Bumper and I ordered it this morning!
