I have used them for many things and no complaints at all. Bring lots of lube if you use Kirks or Light Line and expect to go back multiple times to get it fixed.

Very true. They did a great job on my custom 4 link long arm lift on my old Jeep. I did not need such a lift on my F150 so I went with CSC and have used them since.

Did you speak to John or Chris at CSC? Both are good guys but I deal more with Chris than anybody. I cant even remember the name of the guy that I dealt with at Searchers but he was a good guy too.

Same two guys have been working at Searchers as far as I can remember. Philip is the owner and main designer/fabricator, and Mark is the guy behind the counter with a huge scar on his face. Every one does mechanical work though

Well it's good to know we have a couple respectable options in BR. Maybe when I get rid of my current ride I'll be giving one of the two my business.

Mark is the guy that I dealt with then. I didnt want to say the only feature that I remembered about him though. They all know their shite and can do some crazy builds over there.

But like I said, for smaller stuff, its easier on your wallet to go to CSC.

Its been forever since Baton Rouge has had some decent places for 4x4s. I think Kirks scares away a lot of businesses. Laffy has 3x the amount of shops that BR does.

Highjack

Need some help. Bought a 2012 F250 about 2 weeks ago and not sure where to go from here. I wanted vinyl everything, so its not a king ranch. Own a tree removal company and will be used for that some and my daily driver mainly. Wont to do a few things but somewhat keep the work truck feel. I hate to go with big rims because tires cost more and we go through alot where we dump our loads. Heres what I got. Also getting nerf bars but not sure if I want the solid or the small steps under each door and a b and w hitch.



put a 3" and 1" lift and level and some 35" federal mud tires on it but thats it so far.

I mentioned I was getting. Thanks I absolutely love it. Not a stitch of cloth or carpet in it but power everything and voice sync.

Im not sure where you need help but I am always more than happy to throw my 2 cents into it.

For that truck I would go with the Nfab bars. These
You wont bend them and they look great.

I would put some window tint on it if it is your daily driver so people cant see what you store inside.

And if you are putting a B&W hitch you may want to look into some air bags. Not necessary for stock trucks but you leveled yours. Plus you can fill them up halfway for unloaded drives and actually makes the truck ride better.

They are a jack of all trades and (so far, imo) master of them all. I am not sure if you want them rewiring your entire truck but they do install HIDs and other electronics (remote starts and alarms) so I would imagine lights are no problem.

I know that they stock a decent amount of stuff there but can order anything at a good deal. They got me my toolbox for $150 cheaper than I could get online plus free shipping.

Thanks, man.

I want to put one of those light bars on the Jeep, but dang, there's about 100X possibilities.

Yeah you aint lying. I went with the basic windshield mounted KC lights on mine plus some extra ones on the front bumper. Now I like the hood mounted LEDs and the top of the windshield ones.

If you really want to see whats in front of you, Rigid LEDs. Even their smaller lights, the duallys, are stupid bright.
