Guess It's a good thing I didn't get the extended warranty!

Well ran into some problems today. Dave called me and said that my Rock Krawler lift was missing some hardware. Well I bought the lift last December so I thought for sure I would be paying for the new parts. Nope! The AWESOME vendor I purchased the lift from sent out the parts today. You the man Marcus!

Next problem. The Artec C-Gussets are beefy. In my case, a little too beefy. The bottom adjuster on the bypass shock comes in contact with the gusset at full lock. Dave spoke with the Evo crew and they decided the best route would be for Dave to fab up some new mounts. So that will happen tomorrow.

Here's a couple of pics Dave sent me today.

Hey rippin, Dave sent me a picture of your rig via text, I was wondering who owned this Badass rig!

I've worked with Dave before, he installed my EVO rock sliders, drag link flip, and tuned my rear EVO coilovers.

What's your plan for the rears and where did you get your ATX slabs?, I'll be pulling the trigger on those pretty soon.

Here he is welding in my EVO rock sliders

Hey thanks! Trust me, I've been checking out your rig as well, Bad Ass. That's why I got the AGM sliders . I got the wheels from Chris over at Jeepaddons. He has some pretty smoking deals. As far as the rear goes, I'm thinking the Rebel Xtreme Recon with Bypass shocks or something custom that's similar. I don't mind cutting through the tub, just haven't decided which route to go yet.

Haha...thanks! those AGM sliders is gunna work real well with the DTD's. If I had another choice I would've probably cut into the tub. A buddy of mine, Jeff F. has King coilovers for rears, he welded the bracket on the side of frame above the tire and cut into the tub. Let me know if you need his number, he can probably tell you what all is involved.

Just tell Dave I referred you and he'll give you a great deal!
