Hey guys, sorry I been out. Had to help a friend move to Texas, got sick, bought a new car, etc etc.
Anyways, Tib is going to APE tomorrow (Tuesday) going to put the new bar on, drive it around a little bit and we'll see how it goes.
Ok, for those wondering about my little comment about the new car... I'll post picture and stuff later. tongue.gif Let's just say... it's WAY faster than the tib. haha.

Jon the new bar has been fabbed up, George has it on his car now. I'll give him a day or two before we bring the bar back to APE. Shipping will take 4-5 days. So you'll be set by next friday if all goes well. I'll send you the first production piece since you're on a deadline. Hopefully you can get it all set up before the big day!
I'll get new pics up and videos of us beating up on the bar soon. The bar was adjusted for much better ground clearance, and I think we're all good to go now! 10 Bars ASAP!

Got the new bar on. Yes. My 20 minute quick-stop into APE turned into a 3 hour venture. lol.
The runners from the brace to the lower A arms needed to be shortened, stuff has to be taken off/rewelded, Tom's grinder wouldn't let go of the grinding wheel he had on it... it was hot as hell in his garage... haha.
Anyways, it's on. Works just as good as before... and btw: NO MORE CLEARANCE ISSUES.
It sits nicely above my body kit line. I had beat the shit outta the first ones. .... doh, forgot to take pictures... but I almost rubbed through the hyme. lol Now the first thing you'll hit is the big bar that goes across... but you'd have to bottom out your front end before you'd get to it anyways. It sits just as low as the lowest part of the Lower motor mount brace that runs from front to back.
Things are looking up!
Tom really want to make sure these things are 110% before he puts them out, so this is why there is a delay in getting it to production. I'm sure you all want to make sure it won't have a chance to break on you and does what it's supposed to, ya?
I gotta get with Chris soon. Dude, could you roll down here to my place? Cause I'm mad busy at work, hard to take another day off for now.

yeah guys, the last thing is for me and Spiffy to go film ourselves beating the crap outta these things on the road. Once we get that, the bars I'll be able to coax more of you guys into buying. Meanwhile I just called Tom and gave him the green light to start production and its looking like it'll be two weeks for production, and I'll be shipping right away. Thanks guys!
