Yeah, for some reason I think this one may find its way back to the states though.

Remember when I said sell your truck or pay to have someone come down there and do the job properly? Yeah...That. Want me to go back and find that post? Cause I can do that.

I remember seeing that JayLV...
This guy has more dollars than sense and that is why I believe it will be back in the states.

I remember that too. And I think it would have saved him more dollars for chicken nuggets in the long run.

@JayLV

I've followed your posts/threads for a while but correct me if I'm wrong in my summary.

You bought a long travel kit because you wanted a softer ride on the roads in Panama. Did you run 3.0's all the way around first? Upon receiving your kit you realized it required fabrication work that you or your fabricator did not have the knowledge or skill to complete properly, so you tried to sell the kit back on the forum but weren't wiling to take more than a 10% loss on the kit and only willing to ship it to Florida at 1/2 buyer's expense. After no one took you up on that deal you went ahead and hacked up your truck without any real knowledge of what you were doing and now that your kit is installed it's not working properly. I believe the forum has told you pretty much the entire time to fly someone down with knowledge and expertise and have them finish your build. You should probably do that.

I know it sounds condescending and I feel bad that you're kinda in a ****** spot with your truck. But you're in way over your head, everyone has told you you're in over your head from day 1 and you're learning it the hard way. You've already burned a bunch of money on the build and you're going to burn a lot more trying to get it right over and over again. Pony up the cash and get someone to do it right for you and save yourself a bunch of time, money and frustration.

That or sell the truck and just buy a pre-runner or run 3.0s.

edit: I mean, you don't even have a body/paint shop capable of sourcing Oxford White. You got overspray on your hood, not because they didn't take the fender's off, but because they don't know how to tape off a section of your truck. And your reaction is "oh well, it's only $250" I mean…How can you expect anything to be done properly? You tried to make sure your shit was level using an app on your iPhone.
You're thinking about selling the kit again, this time it's been installed and probably damaged so you should probably expect to lose half your money or more on it.

Campaign photo... hard to believe this was 6 years ago already.

This kind of reminds me of the time I was going to build a one seater helicopter in my garage out of a kit...
Luckily common sense prevailed !

i feel like this whole thread has been a joke so far. Everyone on here has basically advised against you taking on thus project on your own, and with all the problems you have had along the way, and the posting pictures of how you are going to "fix" them have not helped your case. You really should have this truck proffesionally looked over before you kill yourself or someone else in this machine. Again im not trying to offend you in anyway just trying to look out for your own good (and your truck too).
