I am interested to hear if contact is made and they still offer the Thing lift kit. Please keep us all informed. Thanks

I'd really just like to buy the front piece that goes over the tunnel. The rest I'm gonna build from scratch. I'm not a big fan of the c channel lift kits, they don't make good mount points for nerf bars or roll cages.

Someday if Timmy traces out that piece, I'll be golden.

I am having a heck of a time finding a suitable Thing for this project.

The Up Yer Bug is not C channel, it is rectangular tubing. The 3 front pieces are cast aluminum. The 3 rear/side pieces are steel rectangular tubing. You would probably want the two other cast aluminum side/front pieces traced as well as they are curved and not straight like on a Bug.

Someone building a Thing picked up a Thing body lift from McKenzies or Kartek not too long ago if I remember correctly. He posted about it on Samba. Speaking of which......I have a gift cert. at McKenzies that I'd love to get cashed in. Unfortunately, there is nothing that I need there as most of my stuff is done, but I'd love to get it cashed in by someone using it.....
