    Looks like it's being made in Mexico... lmfao. My wife came out to bring me coffee and started chuckling. I didn't even realize it was there. Looks like I centered it there on purpose.

    But seriously... it's a damn good thing I know how to use a grinder, because it's sure obvious I don't know how to use a welder.

    My parents neighbors,

    Size difference in what lift or overall size? I can get some pictures side by side once I get my coilovers set, waiting on a spanner wrench, and new adjuster collars for the Icons

    Ya, I realize the gen.2 is a 4 door, but you can tell they really stretched out the factory size from gen.1

    yea the 2nd gen is considerably larger IMO, but that's why I like the 1st gen it's like a 4x4 GoKart

    Damn! Glad it’s minor though. I was in a fender bender yesterday going probably 45 and a single guy in an accord trying to enter the HOV lane when he realized a cop was there he scooted last second through the divider and I slammed into his rear end. Luckily nothing visible happened to my truck but his whole trunk and bumper were effed
