Hell, if I could swing it I'd buy more and hold and resale, but that's not possible. Again, let's get something rolling here, to get the BEST truss "almost available". I could really use this as I'm not planning on a SAS anytime soon if at all.

This thread has been sterilized.

If some had taken the time tonight to use the Report this post feature by clicking on Mr. icon here someone may have responded earlier.

Staff can not sit here 24/7, we have lives away from the forum too.
Your best recourse is to use the feature here to alert us, which someone did the other day, and it was looked into and cleaned up.

Keep the thread clean, no need to get all pissy behind your keyboards.
This thread is here to solicit 12 members so Steve can build the best IFS brace available to man/woman kind.

I know someone reported the post immediately, the reported post was modified by the poster 12 hours later and 3 days later it was sterilized.

Bump for a good product.

Yes indeed is was reported the first time, and it was resolved.

However it got out of hand again, yet no one reported it until I stumbled upon it Friday evening during commercials while I was indulged with the Sci-Fi channel.

gets the fastest results around here.

i am a proud owner of one of the first batch as well, it does what steve says it will do. keep your front end together. long story short, i run my rig hard and ive given it some pretty descent battle scars, i dont have to worry about my front end any more.

its only 12$ more than what i paid for mine. best 'c' note youll ever spend for your rig. pony up.

Man, when (if) I SAS, I can probably sell it for more than what I paid for it.

I'm glad I got mine when I did. Steve was super helpful as well and I can't imagine a better product in either design of build quality.

Also, you can use the stock holes for the rear of the stock skidplate and this truss along with some sheet steel to make a great oil pan skidplate.

It's really a shame people won't buck up for them.

No, there is a huge demand, they are easy to produce and Sonoran Steel will sell thousands.

As of 7-22-2007 there are still 2 orders of 12.

So to re-cap: In order for me build these trusses right now, I need 12 orders. Just 12, that's it, just call in your payment info, you don't actually have to pay right now.

If you want to wait until Nov/Dec 2007 I will supply all of the up front money and build the 12 on my dime and sell them as people want them. 12 more will then be made Nov/Dec 2008.

The product should be discontinued, but I am a nice guy and since people really seem want them, I am willing to fit it in when the demand is there.

Thanks for the commitment for Nov/Dec 2007. If I have to wait that long to get the best, I will.

Ok since this has turned into a soap opera. I have at my cost ordered in a 20' of the 3.5x3.5 tube.

The first two guys will get trusses really soon and if you now want one, call and order it and you'll get it within a week or two. I will stock the materials even though they will not move any time soon.

It is not the most cost effective way to do it, but everyone will be happy.

Ok, the tube has been bought & delivered. I have cut it up into 12 pieces for the trusses.

IFS Trusses are in stock, call and order one now and you will get one now, or as soon as I can fit it into this weeks schedule.
