Well I will say the bed was off and ground down to metal. Yes it did involve a minute detail that most people wouldn't notice. It was driving me crazy though.... Fortunately Roger at Stoked Out was just as determined to fix as I was.....
You guys will just have to wait for "the rest of the story".... :p |
