If possible. I know he is making the trip either way, but a 1000 miles on the truck would be better with the new Control Arms. Plus he would be able to show them off at Carlisle to a bunch of our club membership.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.

I made the first set today!
I was trying to get them shipped out to Kyle today but I didn't get to the post office in time.
But I will post a few pics in a few.

Nice! I'll get to see them in person this weekend, so I'll back up whatever positive things Kyle has to say.

just remember this set isnt powdercoated. i wouldnt be able to get these coated in time to ship out to kyle.
he said he is just gonna spray paint them so if he scratches them he can just throw some more paint on it.

You're now a forum vendor. We tend to wait until someone has a viable product before turning them into vendors.
Kyle, can't wait to see what your thoughts are.

I really appreciate the hard work on these. Mine is banana'ed some, but not totally unusable. It drove fine, but you can see where the rock scraped it as I hit it. I also have the tops dented from the prototype quick discos. So these should be nice and the extra strength is definitely needed if wheeling hard in rocks.
I look forward to giving these a chance. i think they should be a great upgrade.
