    Sway bar off! :woot:

    I'd HIGHLY recommend ordering pre bent mental from Craig. (Homer taco). What my dad did for his satoshi. Made it very easy for a flush mount.

    Tell Jeff to look inside the bumper in the winch access hole and see if there is a D-ring to hook that winch cable to. Gets it tucked away nicely.
    Most of the bumpers have that little addition, some were missed depending on the fabricator, that's why we don't advertise it, hopefully he's one of the lucky ones :)

    Guys, I see a fair number of you have sliders. What did you pay to have them welded on? I'm looking at a set and the vender wants between $200-$300 for welding them on. Thanks.

    Yes is was the white skid. I only had to drill on hole about 1/8" wider to get the rear driver side bolt to lign up.

    Also in the instructions it said there were 6 12mm bolts. Mine had 7.

    And i do have the D ring. I just forgot to hook it back in there last time i used the winch.

    i got my 60" from Jax for 70$ just for comparison. but thats the lowest i could find them.

    not a bad deal if it's an actual HI-Lift and not a knock off brand. i'd offer him $40 just cause

    you can always just throw a 6x6 or some block of wood to use with the bottle jack for the time being and just swing by jax next time you are down here for one. just a thought
