    Can always price out how much a new door is going to cost and talk him down on the price. $350 for a shell isn't bad, but then again, I see first gen shells all over the place.

    Not that i know of. Avoid 4wp if you can. Best bet would probably order online through somewhere

    4wp is fine for buying parts. They don't carry softopper though, nor anyone else local. You will have to order it.

    I've settled on Softopper vs the bestop. Looks Like I can get the bestop more readily, though. Is anyone in the area running either?

    Just got my softopper put on today, never dealt with a bestop. So I can't compare. I do like it so far though.

    Hey guys! Semi-new to the forum. After literally years of noodling I finally bought my suspension setup. Went with the Icon Stage 3 but swapped out a full set of OME Dakars instead of the add-a-leaf.

    Couple of questions... anyone have a mod-day coming up? Was hoping to tackle this myself and avoid the $500+ cost of installation. Will supply beer and grub :) (I'm Belgian so good beer only...)

    haha. Also, anyone have any experience replacing the stock UCAs? That bolt looks hella-long and it doesn't look like it will clear the sheet metal when pulling it out.

    Thanks fellas!

    The UCA bolt is the only hard part of the entire suspension... everything else is a breeze

    I am in Charlotte, I'm going to help a local guy put a lift on in a few weeks. I can help with yours maybe the same weekend.
