I cannot speak for Jarrett or RPG, but I think LiL J has a "rematch" with a certain "Pole" in Texas. Corey would not spend 40K to prove to Mark T (the guy argueing about tie rod threads) LiL J could not use Raptor Addicts frame straightening machine to prove the massive strength of the newly designed tie rods, so being the creative young lad that he is he took matters into his own hands.
Having a Raptor equipped with RPG tie rods he spotted his mark. 30, 40, 50, he aims with the precision of a fighter pilot ready to take out an enemy target. Then wham ! After the initial dazed disorientment wears off he quickly goes to the right front, in pure amazement he has successfully performed the "proven test" of the RPG tie rod strength. It was very hard for LiL J to hold back his joy of proving he was right, as tears of joy roll down his cheek Rescue attendants comfort him thinking he is so sad and distrought that his beloved Raptor has been damaged.
Our friend Jarret is a very determined man, never backing down from a challenge, willing to brave the impossible all in the name of providing the utmost product testing of any Raptor aftermarket company.
Yes it was costly but our friend has been brewing up another challenge, ahhh the "MOOSE KILLER BUMPER" in an attempt to keep his revenge mission a secret he has cleverly convinced Master Designer Engineer Extrodinaire Corey to build what he thinks is a product for our friends in Deer and Moose country.
Corey fires up his engineering computer almost causing a blackout in orange county, Ca. Caculations and flow charts fill the small RPG design center, slide rules and calipers being tossed around, the printer is shooting out templates and lazer cut blueprints like like a M-16 on full auto. Finally Corey has finished his task of protecting our Raptor hoods, headlights, and fenders, now off to put this monster into reality.
Yes TRR will have many adrenailine pumped men behind the wheel of their 411 HP earth moving machines ready to take on what Texana Ranch can throw at them. But there is one young man with a mission, a mission of settling a score. I see it in his posts about Bump stop kits, a passion to produce the best Raptor product for the best consumers on this planet.
He methodically compiles his thoughts and very professionally delivers a "Knock out Punch" to Blue STI (Matt) for even daring to deminish the Masters bump stop kit. Yes Raptor owners young and old will see the 100% commitment of LiL J's commitment to excellence come April 2013.
