Default XJ's fall very short in RC's King of Kits Contest

No one appreciates what an XJ can be and do. Not even a single honorable mention but, that ok, we all know what we've got. And we can't hold it against them, They just want some newer vehicles. They still have a great product. Good Job for anyone that showed XJ pride by entering.

Here is the official results.

The reason the xj didn't get an honorable mention is cause they want to show off the kits that don't sell as often ie jk, siverado, & ZJ. There already a huge number of people buying xj lifts. the jk guys usually find there way to teraflex.biz... its all just a sells pitch!

I recently installed a set for a buddy and stuck my finger down in one of the arms, only to find a huge seam! No DOM has a seam!

Sounds like they cheaped out in all the wrong places to steal the market in price. A lot of you fell for it. I give RC a huge two thumbs down.

Go with a quality company like rock krawler, clayton, tnt, ect....
I'm not quite sure you're correct on this. I just talked to them and was guaranteed that the tubing they use for their CA's on short and Long is DOM so i'm not sure what happened with the one your buddy had. and not to start a fight but just cause RC doesn't give it to you up the *** on price doesn't mean their stuff isn't good. I haven't owned other stuff but I can't complain about what i've got.

Really... look at how many XJs you see with rough country stickers vs silerados or JKs!

Agree with showing kits on vehicles that don't sell as much to try and sell the product

Just another reason why no one should buy RC stuff. Just kidding. Grimus just didn't have enough pull in the contest, thats all.
