Awe, did I step on little pee-shooter's toes? LOL!!!

They get the "king of castle" mentality.
"mentality"? LOL!!! Sorry, but so long as I pay the bills to keep this forum running, I AM king of this castle.

"WayofLife" (or whatever your name is) has made it clear that his allegiance to people who will give him money to support this site takes priority to making sure that we (the JK owners & people who frequent this site) are informed and up to date on what problems come about.
Ummm, OF COUSRE I have an interest to make sure that those who are helping to support this website aren't unfairly tarnished by unreasonable self-righteous whiners like you. If it weren't for them, you wouldn't have a this forum to whine at all. As far as my priorities go, hmmmm, let's see, I believe I did just get done researching this problem for the JK owners & people who frequent this site and provided answers that didn't exist before. But, I suppose that would have been hard to catch when you're so busy trying to look for reasons to piss and moan.

This, to me, is a character tell of you, sir. You are for sale, plain and simple. Your integrity is worthless.
Coming from a guy like you, I'll take that as a compliment LOL!!!

I was commenting on a lift kit.....offered as a whole kit. It is apparent to me that the kit that I, and many others, purchased....was lacking sway-bar extensions which are now deemed required because of the problems outlined on this thread.
Sorry, but what I've been seeing is a whiner that's been pissin and moaning about what he thought a whole kit should come with based on his limited, uneducated assumptions instead of carefully researched facts. And, your belief that sway bar links are the only thing this kit needs to be offered as a complete kit only proves my point.

My opinion, (which apparently upsets WayofLife), is that Teraflex needs to take care of it's customers who have purchased this kit prior to Teraflex adding the extentions as part of the kit. And...it's apparently up to me (the consumer) to do the foot work on an incomplete lift kit.
You mean like the way DC takes care of you, the customer, who has purchased one of their vehicles prior to them making all the fixes they need to make it operate completely issue free and then, makes you do all the foot work to find out about TSB's issued and designed to fix problems in the original design and/or construction of it?

Incidently, you ask why I haven't just bought a set of sway bar links & call it a day.....ummmmmm....I did that weeks ago. I am posting these messages for those who haven't yet bought them. I stand to gain nothing by this. I'm out the money.

My point to this whole thing was to tell people of what a problem was....an apparent problem that is not isolated.
Well good for you!! You aren't as lazy as I thought you were - just self-righteous.

There are people on here who don't have unlimited financial resources & spending $250 on a BB is what they can afford. For them to buy a kit that isn't complete and then be told that for the kit to work, you need to spend another $100 is wrong.
Ummm, as it is becoming clear to me that you still aren't reading my posts carefully or are simply stupid, the new links only cost $15 shipped and, for the record, not everybody needs them. Only people with Rubicons.

I see that you have contacted them & they are now adding extended links to their kit.....however, you are still upset over me complaining about it......hmmmmmm.......one could hypothesize that the complaining is what started them to fix the problem....but, I'm probably just complaining again, so, I'll digress......
LOL!!! Sorry, but in spite of what you seem to think, you're really not that special and I don't need to hypothezise anything. Unlike you, who would rather just piss and moan on the internet hoping someone would hear you cry, others have taken it upon themselves to contact TeraFlex directly about the problems they were having and to see if there was anything they could do to help them out. It's called "communication" and is something grown-ups do. Maybe some day you will understand this concept.

Wayoflife apparently thinks that expensive lift kits look pretty.....that's the only conclusion I have come up with regarding his comment about them...either that or he's sipping too much 80proof while reading my post. I said that with the money I've put into my JK, spending another grand or two on a lift that would better suit my needs would not have been a problem.

I simply didn't want a lift like he described. I'm not a rock crawler....I'm a guy with 3 kids who likes to off-road on the Jeep trails.
LOL!!! If you really think that a lift with all the components I've outlined exists only for those who like to rock crawl, you really are an idiot who needs to stop shooting off his mouth and take some time to learn a thing or two about suspension. But hey, what do I know, right?

Anyway, in closing....I would caution anyone posting negative things about those who pay for this site. Wayoflife will turn it into a personal attack against you.
That's funny, others on this thread have posted negative things about my supporters but you're the only one I'm taking on. But, I'm sure you really have no idea why.

In a perfect world, I would agree with you but until that day comes, I personally feel that it's benefits everyone in the end if you just call up the manufacturer in question and inform them if you are having problems with their product. I think you'd be surprised at how grateful some of them will be for the feedback and how eager they are to help you out. But hey, that's just me.

Ultimately, I glad to hear the problem will be fixed for you and if there's anything else I can do to help you out, please don't hesitate to ask.

I totally agree with you.. Until something has some real world testing it truely hasn't been tested.. That's why we are here... We are the proving grounds..

The statement was actually from Tera Flex.. Appologizing for the problem.. Which I appreciate..

damn Eddie, good job on getting this resolved. i was under this dilemma two weeks ago, but didnt go as far as calling Tera, i did call 4wd, and they supposedly talked to Tera while i was on hold and tera had no extended rear links that werent disconnects avaliable, so i was forced to go with the skyjacker ones, oh well so i lost 40 bucks wouldnt be the first time

I am a software developer and I can tell you unequivocally that there is no possible way you can test for every possible scenario and with every conceivable configuration. I assume the same is true for manufacturing lift kits. There are just too many variables.

That being said the quality of the product is not just a product of the initial output but is a sum of that as well as the service and ability to properly resolve problems with their product. It seems that Teraflex did the right thing here.

Hmmmm... I'll get in trouble for posting negative things about WoL and vendors? Ok...

Eddie is a pavement princess. His real car is a 1986 Yugo with 9" wheels and low profile tires.
His wife secretly does ALL the REAL driving.
And the Full Traction guys use Eddie's sweat shop operation in Anaheim to manufacture the cheap lift kits and bumpers he promotes on the site.
And, by the way, there's no Santa Claus.



Sarcasm... mmmm, kay.

Whats the OP gonna do, get his daddy to beat me up?

You have shown me the error of my ways. I'll just go out and get some 37s and then when they rub, I will complain to the tire manufacturer that they didnt tell me i needed a lift and that it should be included.

Ok, I got the part today (001754410). Wow, $15.00 got me these nice things with shipping?

The problem I have is no instructions - what do I do with these nice new parts - where do I install them? What from my original purchase is discarted (if anything)?

Thanks!
