    i dont understand some people. how would you even allow that to pass a simple inspection? Especially from a company that is on the website and people talk about it daily and let alone a race team.

    This is a question towards Engage Offroad. (i do understand you are all at glamis so im willing to wait for a reply).

    Why would you let this even happen? Cracked welds and pre-bent front hangers, how is that possible when it hasnt even been mounted on a truck. You guys say you race with the same kit and all this other stuff which i completely understand but remember... you have god damn race trucks, most of these kits you sell are to someone who drives the truck on a daily basis. Why can you make your "race quality" parts as quality as an everyday part? i mean it might be a little more costly for you, but is it worth risking someons truck let alone life?

    Yes, i know something like that could happen to anyone, but you know, along with all the rest of us that that's just not right.


    Like blake said, how hard is it to construct something with some strength to it? why give gussets with your items when you could just build them strong enough from the beginning.
