    Oh dear god!! Death trap comes to mind when I see his "fab" work... Kid, do yourself a favor, and quit while you aren't head.. You are going to continue to get the same response from everyone until you ditch the shade tree back yard hack job kit you built, and replace it with something safe and reliable..

    There has been a lot of great advice thrown your way, however your over inflated ego seems to get in the way of you actually taking any of it.. While I can appreciate your attempt at your own LT kit, the fact remains that modifying stock components in the way you have is not safe, period... There is a reason for r&d departments, and a good product takes time to come to market because of the extensive r&d involved..

    If you want to come on here to ask questions, check your over inflated ego at the door, and listen... Defending your "craftsmanship" at this point is futile. And please, refrain from driving your "prerunner" on the road as much as possible.. Last thing you want to do is kill someone due to your shoddy fabrication.. end of rant... carry on

    Yeah but this was his last kit, he has yet to show his new one and before you smash on him we should at least see what the new kit looks like.

    If it looks anything like the first one I'm calling the cops

    Still want to see it.

    Can always grind the shit out of it so the welds are near gone and do some heavy powdercoat job making it appear sound.
