    Its a shame they couldn't fab it just like the artic bar. They have the angles wrong. It just doesn't look as good.

    IMO it's a shame that it took someone this long to make it. It's great that someone is making it now either way.

    Are you wanting one for your truck but don't like the look of this one being fabbed? The guys making it seem extremely open to making whatever you want so I'm sure if you wanted one with the angles a bit different all you would have to do is ask.

    I'm not sure if its the angles or maybe the height is off just a bit. If you study the originial bar to the fabbed bar you can detect the difference. I may still be interested in one. If I had a set of benders, I would really rather fab my own. They need a bit more detail to their welding also.

    Wow, dude. Anything else we did wrong? Are we using the wrong gauge of steel? Is the welder too hot or too cold? Should Brandon have bought a more expensive bender?

    Some people. You could always buy the original, I think it's only about $900.00 or so. That's actually a good deal, since it's gonna be shipped across an ocean, there's really no way to tell if you'll ever get it, and who knows what it'll look like when it gets here.

    I think everybody on here that has received their's, is pretty happy with it. Good luck finding a bar that meets your standards.

    Kevin.

    How much are you guys paying for powdercoat? Would it be bad if i just used spray paint or spray on bed liner for now till i feel like splurging for powdercoat?

    Razor, is that a 3 or 6" lift btw?
