They sure sound Jamaican.

Hmmm. Thought the dialect was a little closer than that "down under". I'm going to have to check with my Aussie friends and cousins.

Is there more than one place that sells the mantec plate??

 

[craiglud]

RoversNorth is the exclusive distributor in the US. At least that is my understanding.

quick side note for mantec owners/buyers...

I just had a recent service at the dealership and I know I probably should have put on some locktight when i originally installed the guard... but anyhow I was out on the trail the other day messing around with my camera and later noticed that 1 bolt was missing and the other was hanging out crooked....

Basically the dealer didn't line up the bolts and half assed re-attaching it after service, because when I went to install a new bolt everything was off alignment and the remaining threads were all chewed up.

Had to spend about an hour taking down underbody parts, rethreading the chewed up parts and finally got it all set... this time with red locktight (have fun taking it off next time dealer!)

So just to help out, be sure to check your bolts over time and after service. and also throwing on some blue locktight would me a smart idea...
