Atta boy! Ditch those boards!

I find it easier to get in the truck without them.

Bob-
The control arms and tires have been painted in. If you look closely, you can still see the stock treadpattern. That truck was STOCK when that pic was taken and somebody got creative and made it look lifted to hype up a product. Lee noticed that you had to lighten the pic in order to see it. I did the lightening.

Billy responded with a long winded, (excuse me) lame ass excuse about how the owner of the truck took the pic, not him, and he insisted it was real. Yadda, Yadda. It was deleted, IIRC.

Not to slam a growing company, but wasn't there a chop with the sliders too?

NE never photochopped anything with the sliders ... in fact, the only pictures we showed back then were from Stubbs directly.

I can't speak on the current round of sliders, as I know nothing about them.

Good to know. I must have been mistaken. Let me know if i'm out of line, and I'll edit.

Neil, I don't think I saw wherever that was posted, but I do know for certain that our pictures came directly from Richard Stubbs at his shop, and that they were never even shown on a vehicle (until now ... as far as i know) ...

so, who knows!! at this point my head is spinning, and i just have no idea about much of anything.
