great video, as for the scrathes, i used to wheel my 92 f150 alot harder then that and collected a hell of alot more scratches then i could name, so i took it to my mechanic/paint guy and he did a clearcoat buff and finish. it made it look like new! so no worries on the paint!!

Take care.
Great video...was Eric at WOT? IF so, WOW what a difference in speed...granted his is a crew, but yours just walked away.

No they don't, there are many differences between trucks from factory. Height being one of these differences.

Actually, I am an Screw, he is an Scab. But he did spin off the line a bit, I took off at about 3/4th throttle. As I was showing him to the freeway he pulled up and we raced again, sorta. We both started spinning like crazy. I let him drive my truck and he said with a smirk, "I didn't know trucks could go that fast." I took that compliment as he owns an 11 sec 454 camaro. Eric, you're gonna have to take me for a ride in that monster, I've never been in anything quite as fast as that. I need to install my underdrive pulley's, I think I'll do that this weekend if I have time.

I just called customwheelsdirect.com and they hassled me about cancelling my order again with that "Why are you cancelling your order, whats the deal, etc." Horrible customer service. I decided to cancel the entire thing because of the treatment. I'll gladly wait for discounttiredirect.com. Unfortunately, that means my lift won't go on for a bit longer. I have a feeling they won't cancel my order and instead ship it out and still charge me. Don't buy from these guys, they're a joke, apparently they don't have enough business nor confidence to be able to return. They hung up on me the first time I called and said, I'd like to cancel an order.

Nice vid. Don't worry about the scratches. At least you got your scratches under your own will out wheeling and not in the Wal-Mart parking lot.

As it all comes I'll post pics in my gallery. Just keep an eye out for my posts ;P

Whats with all the Negative reputation points I'm getting out of this thread
