    Thanks for the answers. Im sure there is more to be asked.

    Like:

    IF 4x4 kits are made, would you have the resources to have longer cv axles made?

    I know you can but would you guys be willing to fab up some bolt in bed cages with ample bed room like this one from Giant Racing?

    ..."And after it was all done, brandon didn't have time to finish the battery box. I was alright with that, and still wanted him to keep the money. Well he wouldn't let me take the truck until I took the $50 back from him. Who does that? "

    -from a customer on the DZ forums.

    Stand up guy and service here, would actually like to have a beer with them.
