    Maybe he is confused about why he is not on the list despite having made the statement "Put me on the list".

    Sorry Dave. I've fixed it.

    ok.. that makes sense.

    Could you maybe.. BOLD RED.. the ones who have fully committed so we know where we're at now?

    And did they say what the lead time for build/shipping is?

    no.. not really at the moment. Why?.. did you want to chat? :hmmm:

    I guess I forgot how sensitive you can become at times.. so I'll leave you to your work around here then. :tiphat:

    Once the order is made, it should be a 2 week turnaround.

    I think the way this is going to work is, we all call in our order and provide our Credit Card info individually. I'll confirm the process tomorrow and get my bar ordered and post the info.

    Thanks guys. Im really excited about this. It should be here in time for the GG weekend.

    I'm not sensitive, I just don't think it's right to clutter up other people threads with useless posts, which is against the forum rules anyways. It's just not fair to people that are trying to get something done, if you know the person, personally, then that's a different story. Have a little respect, plain and simple.
    Sorry Chris.

    huh?.. you're not?.. you don't?.. and.. it is?

    Well.. I certainly do admit to seeing your point here and I was really just playing with words to be funny.. but holy christ man!.. have you ever looked in the mirror.. ergo.. back at your own posting history?

    sensitivity.. rudeness.. and otherwise useless mumbo jumbo added to others conversations at times.. no doubt just like some others around here who are guilty of the same at times.. including myself.

    And maybe I'm wrong to assume something here.. but IMHO, we all earn the right by the amount of info shared and time we spend contributing it.. to "get away" with adding a bit of fluff once in a great while. Some are obviously more sensitive than others around here.. and my take on GrabberGT is that he can cut up with the best of em' when he has the time to do so and doesn't get too sensitive when others do have the time to do it.

    After all.. it's a MAVERICK AND COMET FORUM and we come here to share and spend time learning from others.. we're not building a rocket for NASA and shooting for the moon with hopes for a nobel piece prize while we're at it here, right? It's bound to go off tangent now and again with a bit of personal added into the mix and I think it's easy enough to skip past it when it happens. Yet.. you decide to clutter the thread up even moreso by policing me when I'm a bad boy? Throwing stone's in glass houses and all that.

    Anywho.. rant done.. and I'm really excited to hear that things are going forward now that we have the numbers required for this part. Hopefully I didn't cause too much damage along the way to take anything away or slow the process down for those involved. But if I did?.. I certainly apologize to the OP and those affected aw well as the mod's for doing so as I was only trying to help and add a bit of comic relief along the often monotonous path to get here. At the very least.. I helped bump it back up to the top more often for the increased visibility required for all to see and jump on board. ;)

    I'm surprised that the use of a Granada sway bar never even came up once in this 8 page thread. In "the old days" this was a very controversial subject, with some members advocating the use of this bar on our Mavericks as a less costly alternative to the aftermarket bars, while others equated such a reckless move as a dance with death.
    Wondering what the current attitudes towards this mod are. After all, it would might be a considerably less expensive alternative to the Addco bar that the financially challenged among us could consider for use on their rides.
    By the way, does anybody remember what diameter the Granada bar is?
    Thanks.
