    What’s the real story, is there enough inventory to get people their parts and make a profit on remainders? How will they have proof of invoicing/purchases? Just wondering because we don’t think someone spent that much at auction to be a Good Samaritan right? Lol

    Whats cool is Jberry has expressed that if someone never got their stuff to send him the denial letter from the bank so he can help sort it out. Talk about a hell of an ice breaker for a situation like this, I too would hope they could have some sort of plans out of this...but that may not be the case.

    I think as long as they can provide a denial letter from the bank then they are good to go. Dont quote me here, but I believe they also have their own lists of folks involved to a degree.

    What fine print? Evenflow's post has no fine print, and I haven't seen the actual FB post that he's referencing.

    They will do there best to make those that lost there ass feel warm and fuzzy.
    They are not doing this for the profit. However they may benefit from it in other ways. They are putting their money on the line to help out this community. And they have helped many in need over the last few yrs.:bowdown:
    I hope they dont loose their ass on this deal a they are good guys and have always been as long as I've been around here.

    So I thought I remember seeing on this thread somewhere there was a company making lower control arm gussets, but can't find anything with my searches. Is this something someone offers?

    Dirt Designs has some gussets that support the lower control arm mounts.

    Pretty sure they're either on/off. Not dual output.

    IF they really are just on/off and Depending on how committed you are to using them you can wire in some sort of electrical component that will dim them, and attach the brake wire to the component to allow full brightness when brakes are applied.... I don't remember the name of the component as I did it like 6 years ago on a motorcycle but Im sure its on google.

    Yep, straight from us they're on/off. But you can mess with voltage in to get a function that would be dimmer than full power and could actually as driving mode. We've had people do that in the past, I just can't recall how they did it exactly. We've had plenty of people run these as brake lights! @nfs257 ran them for a while and was one of the first to do so if I recall correctly.
