Metco Traction Bars

[Sixpipes]

Ordered the traction bars from Metco last Monday on my way home from Atlanta FFW. I was told there were some potential production problems that might delay shipment until Monday, but delivery by Wednesday (5/1) guaranteed. That would leave me Wednesday evening for installation with Thursday night as a backup just in case before leaving for Houston FFW on Friday. Guess what showed up today UPS?

Nice magic carpet there Dennis, does it fly? Where can I get one?

The "Magic Carpet Service" by UPS is the new premium service. I've heard that a package can leave Atlanta @ 3PM and arrive at LAX at 2PM. :p That's just what I heard.

Installation scheduled for ?PM at Mark's on Wednesday.

That's probably funnier than you intended. ;)

We can start tomorrow at ~5:30-6:00pm if you want, will give you an extra day of margin.

Tuesday would be OK by me if you're free. Since Metco bought me a couple of extra days, I may as well take advantage. :cool:

See you tomorrow around ~6:00.

Dennis, These are also Metco. I would like to know the variances in both items. :confused:

John,

The new lower-link set up will fit lowered trucks. I also understand that the old design was not all that well received. The ones in the picture are more traditional in design and I have talked to a couple of guys that say they really work well. I think the lower-link unit has been out less than a month. :cool:

Thanks to Mark #2 for the use of his garage and tools and Mark #4 for being the gopher. :p We got all four brackets on in about 4 hours. Probably 2 hours more than installation on a stock set up would run because of the Roush suspension and the non stock exhaust routing. I will have to make a trip to the muffler shop to get more clearance for the links, but all in all, not that difficult (if you have the tools). Pictures this evening. :cool:
