So, 'nother little update. Been waiting and waiting for my lift to show up, couldn't get ahold of the guy so I started getting a little worried. Turns out he got sent out on next to no notice to the oilfield camps to work on Dodges (Ha!) where there was no cell service or anything. Got an e-mail from him yesterday apologizing for the mix up, and some good news in it as well...
Not only did he send out the lift parts yesterday, he also threw in a NEW in box Detroit EZ Locker for my 8.8! So stoked! I'll be locked front and rear now, yeehaw!
