    I get what you're saying, but I'm referring to the trash talking of the parts themselves. Specifically the negative comments regarding build quality and what not.

    Also, my quoted reply to your comment had nothing to do with any of this. It was a clarification of your comparison, albeit a bit backhanded.

    from the origional pictures posted, when the comments were made, i was thinking the same thing myself, the pictures made the quality of the kit look horrible. his pictures in the OP are updated now

    Assuming this is somewhat a response to what I was saying: Sure these beads are no perfect freakin Camburg cyborg TIG beads but they actually look like some pretty decent quality welds to me.

    Although it's hard to accurately judge by eyesight, it looks as though there is good penetration and consistency. Which is what is important, not robotically uniform beads.

    I'm not a fan of the boxed uppers, but it's apparent that the builder put a little bit of thought into the construction of the kit which is evidenced by the rosette welds and reinforced outer sleeves on the lowers.

    Now how well it works is a whole 'nother story. I just get annoyed when people who don't have metal fab experience bash on someone else's work

    they look like good welds now, but they didnt look like good welds in the previous pictures. your basing what your saying off the current pictures and they did the same.

    now calling them a scammer wasnt right but still

    Kit is still for sale.

    All thread-shitting aside. The kit is well made. Yes the first set of pics made the kit look ammature however thats why I updated them. The shocks were sold to jeffz0rz who also checked out the LT kit. Im sure he will attest to the quality of the kit.

    these r just control arms and bushings. so to complete the kit u would need extended steering, brake lines, lca shock tabs and what else?
