I still remember the first time I posted on a protege forum looking for help. I posted about a clearance issue between my RLCAs and exhaust, and no one had any clue what I was talking about. Even with a photo clearly showing the issue and the words EXHAUST HITTING LOWER LATERALS right there in plain sight 😐
Then this one guy comments “ugh that rust is disgusting.” (This was before my under body rust repairs, but it really wasn’t that bad)
I was shook lol, and disappointed, as I often am with the protege community in general. (Hi friends, still love you guys)
A rough first forum experience lol but it was at that moment I chose to always do my own work and research as much as humanly possible, and to never rely on questioning strangers for information out of convenience.
I did end up going on to have one of the most infamous and popular protege build threads on that forum. Also thanks to that fucker with the rust comment for gassing me up enough to jump the fence and spend two months grinding the underside of a car 😁
