All jokes aside, keep up on the name calling and you'll be playing with the "band".

I can't imagine paying more than $19 with customer support like that. I have no idea what trails you run, any more than you know what I run, but I can tell you that I'd do a trail run with any regular on this forum and have complete confidence. You are not a regular...

Why is this guy not blocked yet? Its the same truck in the same shape as it was the last time, he just pulled it outside. I think if I had a working kit, my first photos wouldnt be of me standing next to the truck thats shoved in beside other junk, I would be on some insane trail tearing stuff up. I mean I am about to make a kit to lift Gen 1's 6.3 feet, send me 40 bucks and Ill send you the complete kit. The kit will consist of a big bag of bullpoop a few bolts and my adoration.

I'm no suspension designer and I'm sure most of you aren't either. Perhaps there are parts of his kit we can't see that allow it to work well but my point to him is when prospective buyers ask to see his product in action, see pictures of it's design so we can know that we can trust it, provide or evidence that it works you need to.

This is how you sell your idea to a buyer.

Simply saying trust me it does, or pay me 1900 and you can see for yourself doesn't invoke feelings of reassurance much less a feeling that we'd have much vendor support during the install or if something does break on the trail.

One other thing Cameron, from the beginning we weren't attacking you or your design but your immediate defensive posture, immediately made your reputation suspect. If you would simply said 'sure here's a pic' or the design's not patented yet but it's a lot like the _____ lift kit (a known reliable kit) then the questions and thread would have went a totally different direction.

The bottom line here, is you are at a disadvantage. You need to prove to your buyers that they can trust your design, either via your resume/reputation, or by showing us the design in action on the kinds of trails we plan to do.

Anything short of that, simply won't work for buyers myself included.

Its been a while since I have been on here (being that I've been in the sandbox enjoying myself way too much <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />) but this post def. made me laugh. Its amazing how things change.

In my opinion, that set up is a little bit too much. I have 35's and thats more than enough for the size of the montero. With 4.90s and the lower tcase gears, I wouldn't want any bigger tire. It would take away from the control going over obstacles, acceleration on the highway, etc. Also, overheating is something to watch for when turning 38s on trails in temperatures above 100 degrees. Thank you but I am going to keep my 35s.

Failure is not an option. The pictures do not convince me that its a solid design I would trust. So go take it out, take some pictures, and post them so I can be impressed. Thanks. Also, an attitude change would be great.

My 2 cents. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Yes the power rack comes with the kit. As for being tooo large of a lift. A seven inch kit could be made. the pic with the idler was taken the day before i installed the rack. Questions and requests are great, but why look down on me when i am trying to help the montero world move forward.
