have a little bit of time on my hands & thought i would pop in and see what you guys were up to... between work and a 2 year old son i don't remember what free time is.

i had this same problem with 35" tires...

that picture is not a joke or photochopped - i really had to tow jon's jeep during the build. that old ford might be ugly... but she's got heart!
mistakes were made, there were some sacrifices & someone rode on a trailer... but we figured it out

thanks for all the compliments guys, we had A LOT of research & engineering man hours into this final design, i'm really glad to hear you like the product.
here's a couple better pictures of the new design.
you can see they have a recessed spot to get closer to the body where as the first generation used spacers to clear the irregular body shapes. ...
how about something like this for the commander... takes care of the body armor, roll cage, roof rack, winch bumper and tire carrier with gas cans in one shot =)

that is absolutely incorrect. these dealers want to take your money. they charged me for a new ECM in my jeep and i found out that it was covered under warranty but they didn't tell me that. i'll...
the dealer, by law, must warranty any safety equipment like seat belt inertia reels for a minimum of 7 years IIRC
here are a couple pix when jon left the smart at my shop because he had to "borrow" the xk to tow his trailer.... i have a BMW Isetta we're building and it makes the smart look like a luxury sedan in...

certified used is the biggest bunch of horse manure i've heard yet. they are just certifying that it is used and there were no visible problems according to some underpaid "tech" usually. it's a...
complete waste of money.... you'll never use even a fraction of the capability of that shock.

My sign should say "always late but worth the wait"... lol... seriously it should. Glad you guys like them...
And. As much as I hate be a salesman, is this something anyone else would be...
I'll tell you anything you want to know about the rack, but you'll have to spend a minimum of about $ 600 to get a decent Bender and tooling to get started. And I'll say it again, youare putting...
You put more effort into the design process than I ever did... lol... drew it with Sharpie marker on the steel welding table, did some long hand math right there on the table and started bending. ...
I wish I had followed my passion... I like what I build but the off-road market is saturated with hacks in their garage driving prices down along with boat loads of off-shore garbage that sparkle. ...
at the risk of sounding arrogant...

That's what I would miss most if I sold my shop ... all the "drop" I have to play with
Why don't you quit screwing around and build the darn thing already! I honestly don't have plans for anything I build except a couple bumpers that are production items. I just start making it, then...
Dude, you have to get away from square stuff. I make roof racks from round tube for a reason... drag coefficient. Make it a little smoother, trust me, you will see a Los in MPG try to minimize...
