    Btf quoted me 25-2600 for simple shock hoops and a crossbar. Has anyone got a better price on their rig?

    Lets keep all the bullshit, and name calling out of the thread. If someone decides to go against my askings, Then ther are a few possabilities.
    First, I will close the thread, get drunk, and forget I closed it. If this were to happen, all you long legged truck owners will be out of a thread to shoot the shit in. Thus you will wander aimlessly thru the day....feeling as if somthing is missing. You will feel incomplete. Perhaps a little distrought. Some of you may even trade your ride, buy a Prius, and begin the worthless journey of Hypermiling. Now......we dont want that....Do we.

    Second, I could be in a groumpy mood (after all...Im old, and drink), see shit flying in the thread, have my "Give-O-shit" meter set way too low, and ban every member in this thread. Thus leading to the first solutions issues.

    Third, I could be rather ambitious when I see the shit starting to fly, and hand out infractions, and bans, like I was being paid. This would make you guys think I was a dick....then I would ban you, and you would buy a Prius, etc.....etc......

    Forth, and lastly, I could already be drunk, ban everyone, delete this thread, find out where you live, eat your bacon, drink your coffee, and sleep with your women. Then........You would end up with NO coffee, NO bacon (OMG!!!) and your kids would look like middle aged fat guys who drink too much. NOW...........we gonna keep it kewl in here?

    How is that Brian's fault though? Especially from a customer's standpoint... Its not like he ordered a kit and chose the +1 bumpsteer option...
    For the record though, i wasn't talking about you MCM, you analyzed the situation from a purely logical standpoint; something that is both rare around here and valued from my perspective...
    I'm just talking about everyone taking time out of their day to make memes and shit that clearly aren't directed at DIRT Designs... theres no way that could be construed as constructive criticism, let alone criticism that would help future endeavors... People are making it seem like Brian chose to have it that way...
    This forum cycles through these little jokes regularly, and I'm sure the next one will be just as hilarious...
    And additionally, I completely agree with what your saying as far as accountability from fabricators go in the industry. However, its inconceivable to think that poking fun at a kid who's worked his ass off to get what he has is the right way to go about 'seeking accountability for the design' and any defects it may have. Thats just kind of a dick move on everyones part (again, not necessarily talking about you MCM)

    this x21432431241234132.

    :laugh: best mod ever award goes to....

    does that include a nice steak dinner? before they fuck you?
    Hellfab... honestly great quality, and there's no way you could beat that price. $2500 for shock hoops and a crossbar... you might as well buy a welder, a bender, saw, just about every accessory you can think of, and enough metal to give it a few goes

    But it could possibly be a side effect from option 1.

    MJP! :rofl: haha Actually Chris's stories from when he didn't have a job are pretty funny. I still laugh when my compressor reminds me of Chris's story about dusting. haha And he is usually my go to mod when I need something mod related done.

    Everyone takes some :crapstorm: at some point. It's Tacomaworld. At the end of the day, it doesn't really matter.. were all Offroad enthusiasts on a truck form, In my opinion it's all in good fun around here, and it's on you to decide how you take it. I completely agree with Matt. (MCM)


    :cheers: to all.
