Alabama thread!

@Jerneyman I'm bummed that other guy never responded to your hi-lift question! lol I was also superrrrr curious what in the world anybody needed 3 front hitch receivers for!

 

Yeah, me too. Lol. But he probably hauls it behind and RV or something. Some of those flat tow setups use a 3 hitch type system if I remember right.

 

good thing he got that icon level 8 suspension! those tows can get pretty bumpy!

 

Yeah, some folks that buy the most expensive suspension then don't buy any armor make me wonder. But its their money and this is the U S of A so they can freedom on with their money how they want.

 

exactly! I think the part thats most cringe is blowing all the money before seeing what the stock capabilities are.

 

Or before even knowing how your 4wd system works...

 

I can very easily humble myself and say I'm not super knowledgeable with 4x4 vehicles, but at least I've spent a stupid amount of time on here (maybe for the worse haha) researching to find what fits my build instead of slinging $23k to a shop to put on a spacer lift, RTT, and hi lift..

 

You sir are excepted. Looks awesome.

 

Lexi approves of the new mods too

 

i want a decked but without all the added weight lololol

 

the couple hundred lbs of tools doesnt help either.

 

I got my Victory 4x4 roof rack delivered, and I'm not sure how to feel about it. I took some pictures, the finish does not seem great. Light scratches on the powder coat, missing spots, rust looking junk that I can't get off, and I feel like it wasn't deburred.

This is the first roof rack I'veb so I don't have the experience to know if what I'm seeing is normal or not. What do y'all think?

 

Hey would you guys ever run retread mud tires? found some for a great deal, but I don't know much about retreads that aren't on semi trucks.

 

@Brian422 has one, maybe he can compare his. It does look super burred though

 

Looks like they took it right off the plasma table, kinda knocked the slag off and said that was good enough. Depending on how much you paid, I’d say you get what you pay for or you over paid.

 

Paid around 600 from the manufacturer. I like the rack, and ultimately is going to get wear and tear, I just expected a better quality finish.

 

Yeah, I’d write them a nasty letter. That’s not worth 600 bucks right there. Those parts don’t even look like they were prepped before powder coat which makes me believe the powder coat will eventually start to fail as well. Back in the day, my prinsu was less than that and the craftsmanship was great.

 

School bus fleets and airplanes use retreaded tires.

 

I honestly don’t think that’s their “normal” quality. @monkeyevil any idea what’s going on here?

They have great customer service, I’m sure they’ll make it right if you’re unhappy. If they don’t wanna ship it back, I’ll buy it half price! Hah (not a joke)

 

Looks like they forgot to take a wire wheel to it before powdercoating.
