I hate hearing people on teh interwebz bash Ballistic. I have literally been ordering through them for years and have never once had an issue with the commonly reported problems- slow shipping, incorrect orders, poor customer service and back orders. I ordered this stuff on Friday afternoon and it came in the following Thursday. It doesnt get much better than that from AZ to SC. Prices are better than Dans or Blue Torch also.
This all boils down to one chief dingaling on Pirate having to wait one extra day or getting one little bracket wrong and running with the bash. Things happen. You'd be surprised how often Building Supplys run out of 2x4s or 16d nails. Multimillion dollar plants run out of metal necessary for day to day repairs. Again, things happen. Its very unfortunate that a few people bashing (regardless of the level of truth behind any of it) can almost cause a business to close their doors, not to mention a very tainted reputation on the interwebz - Id be willing to bet most of the bashers have never spent one cent with them anyway. |

Anyway, it took me 15 days to get two TRE sleeves that I could have made myself. I am not saying I will not order from them again because I probably will, only becaue the last guy I talked to made it right. But I do think they have some lazy people who answer the phone. Side note, the last TRE sleeve I needed I made myself on the lathe at work......... |
Mo' progress...
took the rather bent front passenger side fender off. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...-14-32_246.jpg bought a new fender http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...-14-47_970.jpg I guess I didnt take a pic of it bolted on. Seat bracket cut down 1 3/4" to lower it and painted black. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...-27-34_748.jpg Floor board wire wheeled. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...-27-51_518.jpg Floor with some spray on bedliner deal and the seats bolted in http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/h...-32-08_714.jpg Traction bars tomorrow |
Unacceptable.......
Red is not a good color for any pickup. Lol. |
Haha. It wont matter when its covered in mud
|
agreed dave. i hated the color on my f350. lucky for me it oxidized and turned pink....
|
Guess if it's always covered its good to go.

Lowes. Cheapest place around that I have found.
|
All the local Home Depot and Lowes around here only carry the 5 and 10lb spools. If you want the big 33lb, you need to find a local welding supply or get an account at a Grainger.
|
Is there American welding and gas around there?
|
theres a National welding and gas local here.... bout 25 mins or so from me... they carry every thing... but my little wire welder only holds a 5# roll
|
My little wire holds a 10 lb roll. Heavy welding I do with a 220 stick...
