I watch the Speed Channel alot, and I understand that it's "for entertainment purposes only", but sometimes I just gotta laugh. I was checking out a rerun of Truck Universe from some time in 2006, and they were starting a series on rebuilding a pretty junky YJ from the ground up. They installed a spring-over and it included a shackle reversal kit. Neither one of those greasers even understood what the kit does, judging by the way they explained it. It was shameful watching these two idiots babble incoherently about something they so obviously knew nothing about. It makes you wonder who's editing this crap, and how they could have let this on the air, knowing alot of people are watching this, and taking it seriously. Sick.
OK, I'll climb down off my soap box...

haha. what did they say about it?

They said the front bracket "moved the shackle forward" and they kept pointing to the bracket and calling it the shackle. I'm not trying to be super anal, but alot of young people are watching this stuff and hanging on every word of it. I'm just asking for a little more accuracy, and a little less graba$$.

The sad thing about the TV salesmen is young guys watch a program or two and go right out and purchase a carb spacer and "cold air intake" thinking they have done good!
It is a sham on all american people what advertising has come to.

What ticks me off is most young people can't even afford a car project and these shows dump money as if it's no object. It's not even realistic what some of these projects cost!

And then the vehicles are destroyed, cause the manufacturers don't want people buying those modded vehicles...I think for liability reasons, or something like that.
