I just wanted to reiterate. The elripster@aol.com and sdors@san.rr.com work for Paypal. First I was using my home e-mail. I switched to the SDORS because of the spam filters. If you sent it to elripster, don't worry, it went through. If you send an e-mail to elripster there is a chance is got filtered and I can dig it up in the spam pile. I would request that everyone use the SDORS for all just to simplify life.

ok so lets start sending our ___$94___!!!!!!
and just to recap, for those who are sending via paypal....
Kev you da' man! I'm printing up this list. If any of you aren't on it, don't worry about it. I just want to make sure no one falls through any cracks so I'll be checking off names as I pack stuff up.

I just bought out Ababa bolt's stock of M8X80 socket cap screws. They will get the rest to me by Friday. For the vast majority, if not all of you, this won't matter one bit. I *should* have hardware enough to ship all by Friday. Worst case some will go out Saturday.

I'll be getting back to all with tracking numbers. This could take a day or two though. There's a lot fo work to be done.

Thanks again Yotatech, you guys are a great bunch and we really appreciate your business.

Frank

as for plans for the future, how about designing a new front skid plate as well? my current stock one doesn't seem to like the little rocks too much, and as far as i know there aren't any out there unless you have a real front lift. just an idea

and Frank you are certainly a pimp for doing this for us. Im glad we could help out by suplying you some R&D money. its about time somebody started making stuff for us!!

oh and maybe look into some quick disconnects like these.....
http://www.frontrangeoffroadfab.com/disconnects.htm

i would love a pair of these, but they're too darn expensive!! if you could make some for like half or close to half the price, i know i would buy some.

Wow that is a lot. I have an idea for some of those. I have always found those styles to be very easy to disconnect but often kind of a pain to reconnect. This is especially true if the front wheels are off a bit..... We'll have to see....

Thanks to everybody(you know who you are) for this buy. I think we're going to have a lot of threads about the performance in the future from all these spacers being installed. Hopefully some of those newbies will stick around and enjoy Yotatech.

For the guys wanting hex cap bolts

I was just looking on mcmaster.com

I know some folks had expressed interest in not using allen type socket cap screws. They have grade 8.8 M8 x 80mm hex cap screws for like $6 for a 25 count bag.

I plan on using the screws supplied with the kit but for those wanting it, they are there.

Just an FYI, but make sure it isn't "Class" 8.8. In metric it usually goes by class instead of grade and Class 8.8 is not nearly strong as Grade 8 in standard. It's not recommended for vehicle suspensions. You want Class 12.9 in metric. It's stronger than Grade 8 standard.

I'm using 2 nuts on each cap screw on this batch. The nuts are stainless and weaker than Class 12.9. ( the blue ones) However, since there are two, together they are WAY more than enough (and stronger than 12.9) to hold 'em on and they ain't coming loose. They also won't rust. One nut is a regular nut, the other a nylock.

You only need to apply enough torque to keep it from spinning when you tighten the nuts. With the friction, that isn't very much torque at all.

Well I powered through today and packed up all but I think 1 or 2 pair. I'm out of hardware but will get the rest tomorrow and ship the remaining two Saturday.
