Awesome thanks for the tip. I like the one stop shop instead of having to order pieces from 18 different places.

I've heard Don takes a while to get them out though. If I like what I get, I may get a set of those stainless diag bars, those are sweet!

I thought Don wasn't doing the bars anymore? He makes the brakets while another guy does the bars (modifying the front bar for clearance)...but IIRC, he (recently) said he's not doing them anymore as a package. You can buy the brackets from him, and buy the bar separately (GMPP or dealer) to send to someone (his buddy Flip?) to modify.


Did this all of a sudden change? Or did you just come across his site?

Hey Chris...

it's changed... he has them now/again... I know they were gone from his site for a while, but they're listed back on his site as a package again... just went up on price a little... used to be $140, now it's $185 for the whole set...
