SERIOUSLY! :giggle:

Yeah, I was not happy at all with the customer service. Like I say, the product seemed to be exactly as advertised...just that it took them 8 times as long to do it because they forgot about my f****ing order! :gaah:

Barney is starting to look like the mutant dinosaur - Godzilla! Great looking rig & congrats on the lift. Please give us an onroad & offroad/off-road/off road :wink: review after a few miles with the lift to let us know what you think of the TC lift.

You lifted that sucker -- I'm not worthy -- looks great

Thanks Kevin, you'll have to swing by and check it out on a day off! :)

Thanks, Luis! Godzilla? Hmm, maybe after some 35"s! I'm really enjoying it for now and savoring the new mod. I could have done it all at once, but then I couldn't have another fun mod to look forward to! I'll be sure to keep you all updated. For now, the only difference is that it's harder to get in to! :wink:

Lol. You'll never live that down Hans.

IT'S OFF-ROAD AND YOU ALL KNOW IT!!! :gaah:

Congrats on the lift Hans! IME ( In my Eyes ) It dosent look like it added any difference, but I'm sure you can see the difference in person.

You know Olan, I thought the same thing at first, from a distance. However, whereas the rock rails used to rub on my calf, then now rub just under my knee when I get in/out. I drew up this highly scientific comparison to maybe help your eyes out some. Note that many of my previous photos also did not have the E&G flares, which stick downward into the wheel-well by about an inch or so.

:bump: Added a few newer photos of the most up-to-date lift stuff.

See the full "lift story" here for the down and dirty on what happened the first time around and why.

My OEM antenna snapped off at a car wash, so I decided to replace it with an AntennaX 14". So far so good.
