    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    That ain't true. Ever seen the travel numbers you can get without CVs gumming up your balls?

    limmmmmmmmmmits straps. This is true, however, still the best flex you are going to get out of an IFS rig. I've had my LT parts sitting round the house for a few months now, would still get better use out of them with 4wd, than just throwing them on my current truck if I'm going to sell it.

    Their logic "every time I look at it I'll be reminded of this shit show" or something along those lines. I tried to make the point, any snorkel you get from this point forward will remind you of this, might as well keep the story, but it fell on deaf ears.

    Literally retarded. They're pathetic. :rofl:

    I get the fear but you're getting what you paid for. It's a group buy, youmay not get it right away but it'll show up eventually. Nature of the purchase.

    This is like that fucking hag whining about CBI taking too long to get him his order.

    Totally agree with you, to a point.
    Group buys are a great deal but they're slow as shit, and that should be expected.
    This group buy though the people in it were straight lied too. OP had told them the snorkels had shipped and were at port and would be shipped out soon, that was in October and they didn't actually leave Australia until a couple weeks ago. Not to mention he left the GB completely and tcbob had to step in and take over. bob wasn't apart of the GB until Max flaked on it. I'm speculating on some of it as IDK what max's deal is but he has been active to view the GB thread but didn't post in it and left everyone high and dry snorkel-less.

    Is there water inside your sliders or something?

    I didn't know that was still going on. Damn shame.

    Ya. I didn't put some bolts in the step plate so it looks like it's rusting from the inside and sloshing out. Going to drill a hole in the front and rear of the bottoms to let them drain out and then have Kevin weld them shut

    Wow, that's interesting. Why didn't you bolt your step plates?

    I thought I'd be able to reach them after they were welded on. Turns out they're right under the rocker panel and I can't screw them in

    Ahhh I see. Does not having those bolts in jeopardize the integrity of those plates? I wonder what the manufacturer has to say about that.

    It's just a step plate. Doesn't do much. I could take them off

    True. That's the risk of the "good deal" though.
