Haven't heard from Dallas for a while. I wonder how the front VX bar is coming, he was also supposed to fab some frame sliders to fit the VX? Someone from Arizona was supposed to be going to his shop to have frame sliders and the final front bar fabbed up.

Hey Dallas, did that work out??? If not Anita volunteered to bring her VX back for some more testing.

I have a set of Stinkylinks here, with the spherical ends. Very professional work. I probably won't be installing them till it gets warm here, but if anyone wants to see them in person I'll be bringing them to the Foxwoods event to show everyone.

Any word from Dallas about the front light bar or the frame sliders??

[Ron Pfeiffer]

Been a long while . . . any more news on that light bar? Is it a dead issue?

[Anita]

Not dead, just on the back burner. I'll contact Dallas and see what can be done and when.

I like the overall proportions of his prototype a lot better than the Westin bar (though making it clear the cut-outs in the bumper would be best). If he can't do it, I am gonna have to find a local fabber, and that's something I have no experience with, so I'm hoping Stinky-fab will come through. I (and I am sure others here) really appreciate you getting us the info on this.

Thanks again,
Ron

I would love it if they would also make some sliders like these - maybe just a bit longer to go the full length of the cladding.

Those suspension links look really sharp. Would there be any added benefit to street driving (i.e. stiffer rear suspension for tighter cornering) or are these mostly geared toward the offroading crowd?

So many mods, so little money. <sigh>

It we are looking for ideas, I'd vote for skid plates. To run from under the radiator to the t-case. Also a brace for the driver's side rear of the t-case skid plate. I keep setting my truck down on the skid, and it bends it up into the t-case.

I like the VX rock sliders too!

Is it a stabalizer of some sort? I don't understand the functionality of them at all...

Thanks!

Just look at the way the axle is connected to the rest of the chassis.

Then figure out what would be supporting the fore-aft forces of the axle if the bars weren't there. (driveshaft don't count)

The bent bars wont help you guys that dont' go offroad ever. In fact, if you don't go offroad, theres really no reason to upgrade these parts. Its not like you need the flexing ability of the superflex joints on pavement.
