    some company listed a product that was overpriced and out of stock on eBay, and today is my first day blogging, foruming whatever it's called, suddenly I am the guy that sells this crap I guess because I made a moderate defense of that company against people who are eBay price cops, is my understanding of the current situation

    So now I am just sitting here playing games with what was 3 or so people.

    Oh and the evidence is that my name is Dave, some Dave guy works at the company, and I live in the same 920 zip code that covers about 1/4 of the state of WI.

    So henceforce, I must be that guy. Way too coincidental for everyone here.

    How is it that I have "Military ass hattery" when the only issue I have is with a couple of dbags right now.

    I have all the respect for respectful military personnel, there are just none here that commenting on this thread.

    Again, that is some pretty thin coincidences. Do you not think they would change names or something if that company was to troll a blog or forum.

    How about an official statement from said company?

    I guess, to each their own. Thanks for getting me caught up in this whirlwind of your problems.

    I will actually probably put that company on my favs list if you dislike them so much. I don't give two shits about any parts seller or what prices they sell products that I am not interested in. I only care about how I can get the best deal on products I am interested in purchasing.

    Thank you for giving me an interesting first day on the TW forum! Yay I learned it's not a blog(from the url)

    Now that's funny. Thanks for the link, just bought some awesome sides for $5k. Great deal and even better customer service.

    And I feel sorry for you legendbrunner if you are in fact unlucky enough to have stepped into that thread at the wrong time.

    If you are really looking for advice, don't lift the truck or go with bigger tires if you want better fuel economy. If you like the look enough that you are willing to sacrifice mpg, start with leveling the front with some bilstein 5100's. Get you a couple inches up front for a look many like, pretty inexpensive, and easily reversible if you change your mind.

    Sell one of those side/step and you can get yourself a Icon Stage 7. Just saying.

    If you would like to provide your credit card information with a cvv number and expriation date, I would set myself up with a stage 7 sure, but the side steps that were listed are not even good style, I wouldn't give them 150 for them pretty sure anybody that buys/bought them regrets it. They probably don't even come with mounting brackets to boot
