    I agree, but with a house comes more room and babies....

    Makes sense man. How do you like the stock length arms? I'm thinking some day I'll grab some in the distant future.
    I've never actually thought about how little sense it makes until now. Thanks
    Same. I like things.
    I hate apartments.

    i love the stock arms. I would have easily gone DK instead had i not already had TC UCAs though.

    They're strong, look good, added ground clearance and i never worry about them when im offroading.

    each disney resort asks your reason for staying with them. we just told them that we had just got married and this was our honeymoon. He gave us pins and said Congrats and when we checked out they told us that they comp'd our whole stay. Saved me over 2k lol

    That is the exact plan for my rear as well :cheers: Going to be awhile before I get to it though, but other than the axle, not crazy expensive if you are doing the work yourself, probably less than $2k for the coilovers, links, tabs etc.

    We did this in Thailand last year, and a few places asked for a copy of the marriage cert, didn't get much but a few bottles of champagne, a cake etc.

    I like his stuff, but can't handle the ups and downs of getting something.

    Comms are terrible, delays are many and some are his doing, incomplete shipments, weeks of delay (or longer) for corrections, etc.

    I remember when he posted his design when it was just a project he made for himself. It's too bad he can't commit more to the business of it, or isn't willing to. For awhile it was the hottest thing on the forum, but for too long it's just a hot mess instead.

    Wish him luck on righting the ship, but I can't see myself getting in on anything until them.

    Zero complaints with my Frontrunner, so likely I never will, anyway. Hope your experience is a good one with him.

    Would be interested to hear how you like it with a full length, single piece version.

    My buddy has a Cabrac and it vibrates in the wind, not sure if his is a problem child or if its not quite stiff enough.
