Hey dude, it was great to have met you. But I gotta confess - I don't think your subframe is bent at all - it wouldn't line up for me, either. But, fortunately, we sat down, had a couple more beers, some more shots and decided to do opposite corners, first, then fit another bolt, and finally the last one...went one turn at a time, caddy-corner, and snugged it up, which doesn't make any sense at all, 'cause when we had the front 2 bolts in, both rear holes were off by 1/4". So I don't know why it did, but, as usual, beer and advice of your elders (my dad is in town for the weekend and he suggested it, after my brother and I almost squished ourselves with that damn plate....frigging thing is heavy). So, all's well that ends well. One minor problem, though....I based the top/bottom/front/back from the holes I thought would work....and then painted the "bottom" with that neon green engine enamel I was telling you about.....yeah, I was wrong. So, it's green up, black down, but you can totally see the green screaming at you from the side of the car from within the engine bay. And it works! We headed to Corral Canyon today to play in some mud (almost tipped my truck over - when my dad gets his pictures back from the camera, I'll post them...put the Pathy through some serious paces...and lost some paint) and totally raped a boulder. Worked, though....slid right up on it and front tires grabbed. I'd like to see the stocker do that!! So, all in all, money well spent. Thanks again, glad to have met you - hope we can make a run out somewhere together sometime before the end of the year. Take care, hope you guys had a good Thanksgiving.
