    We're working on it. We've got a lot of happy customers posting over there and some of our customers are asking that we be let back on. We'll see what happens.

    I had some "issues" in the past but can say first hand you guys have come a LONG way and get my business ALOT.

    The only recent issue I had was the diff cover for my Dana60 shave kit didn't clear the ring gear. You guys had a new one on the way in a few days, and included a label to send the old one back. No questions asked. Good in my book :D

    Thanks for the kind words! I'm sorry about the 1st go around not working out the way it should have. I am glad to hear that the second one fit as it was supposed to.

    We've been talking about it but nothing solid yet. If we do decide to work on it we'll be looking for somebody who wouldn't mind donating their truck for little while and getting a basically free bumper and/or set of sliders out of the deal!

    We haven't really sat down and committed to any kind of a plan. Up to this point it's only been talk between a few people at the shop. So, we can't really say when we would start undertaking the project.

    Right now we'd need a vehicle for a 6-8 weeks, with the current workload in the shop, to design products like sliders and bumpers. If it slows down we could do it a few weeks or less.

    Sounds like you guys do some good work. Welcome to TW. If you need a 1st gen guinea pig, I'll volunteer my truck right off. I have a 4wd shop in Alabama and would be more than willing to show off any gear you would be willing to send.

    Wow...looks like Ballistic is at it again. WTF...handling charge on every order now!? Really? $6 to put my two brackets in a box? Ans still no flat rate USPS options either. Use fedex to charge me $17 to ship what USPS will charge $11 for...way to earn repeat business. If you need to charge more for your products do it up front, don't hide fees and call them "handling fees". Cancelled that order before I even placed it.

    What's next 99 cent solid axle swap kits with $4,995 shipping fees like they do on egay?

    I have bought thousands of dollars worth of products from you guys and dealt with 6 month shipping times on stupid shit like a rubber bushing, as well as defended and stuck by as things got better (which they did) but this is where I draw the line. :mad:
