Today on The Skid Factory Al Addresses a couple of things on the Patrol that he wasn't happy with after finishing the conversion, One of them was a change of Turbocharger but Captain Snap Ring didn't want to co operate which ended in disaster.
Thanks to Matt from Double Duty Diesel for being very helpful throughout the build and helping out with the Turbo

Also love the personal responsibility message, I can't imagine being in the aftermarket automotive industry is fun in that regard when things break and fingers start pointing.

Excellent attitude about this. Mistakes like this keep you humble. Many years ago I had the front end of my '03 Mach 1 repaired after hitting a deer. Cobra bumper swap and all that good stuff. Looked great. 1 week later, I had a moment of weakness (more and more rare as I've gotten older), was on a back road by myself, thought I'd try to feel cool powering out of a very low speed tight corner, back end came out, tank slapped back and forth, was on brakes but still had just enough momentum in it for me to gently roll into a grass embankment. Screwed the front end up a bit. I ended up repainting/repairing the bumper myself, was okay but shit compared to professional job but.. oh well. I felt I didn't deserve a nice, shiny bumper after that. Spent years having to look at it every time I got in the car. Or people asking why the front bumper looked like crap. That was my punishment. Lesson learned.
