I really wanna thank the people who put the blood sweat and beers into making these grocery getters into something more.

As soon as the body lift is ready, I'm hoping I'm on Jeff's short list to get one. If not I can wait till spring. But I'll be getting a Barton bumper just as soon as the body lift is in hand.

Mark, great product. I had some issues getting it in, but it was worth it.

And to the others that have spent so much time getting down and dirty to find out what does and doesn't work, thanks.

3" body lift on. I wanna thank Fishsticks for being there when I needed someone to ask questions. He's a great guy. I wish I'd have let him help, but I was impatient and wanted to get er done.
