There's also guys over in that forum that will post up an email from Nate saying "no trimming required", get the parts months later, find out they have to trim, ask him about it, Nate says "My bad it was a design change" and then they say "ok, cool just wanted to know. I like buying new power tools and going through the hassle to make shit fit that should've fit since I bought it thinking it would fit." hurrah for Nate being such a stand-up guy giving me a set of sliders/bumper/limb risers/whatever at reduced cost to buy me off on not calling him out on a crap product. He's awesome!
And that whole attitude "it's under your truck, what did you expect it to look like for $190" attitude remind anyone else of the dbag who sold the G4 and said "your still getting a nice truck".
Scoundrels, the lot of them.
10 months to start on an order just doesn't seem american, thats almost as long as its been since i told Timmy i'd get him some rear cover things. i just did mine last week after drawin them up a year ago.

Look at Orange County Choppers....those guys don't take even close to that long to build a custom chopper from the ground up. 10 months for a fucking bumper?

I can probably do a one time limited edition production run on them. I'll look into and start a new thread in parts for sale.
How much for these???? these look GREAT... I'm talking about the boots...no694terry said:
You should start a group buy on the cargo cover.

Are you serious? Those things are fucking hideous.

Because ARB bumper is a typical aussie thing - sticks out a foot in front of the truck. I don't know if we are talking about the very same bumper (that once graced Dee Cantrell's Classic), but when I measured it up for the Disco, it looked completely out of place. But it would bolt up all right.
As far as _good_ bumpers go, you need to notch the grille to mount a GDE aluminum bumper on a D1.

I can look past quite a bit of hassle and delay, if I am not calling in a part that's actually needed. That sort of quality, however, is simply unforgivable.
That's not just ugly. It's dangerous.
That's got to be some kind of fluke. I can't imagine anyone intentionally sending that out the door with approval. There are some popular places that have made some assed-up shit, but it was functional and wasn't dangerous. It's one thing for your quality to be a bit shoddy, but this is like selling someone an axe-head glued to a paper towel tube.
Sooner or later, something is going to fuck up, and it's not going to be pretty.
I don't like to crack on people like this unless I'm speaking with themselves or a vendor, but those belong in a scrap heap. If it was a nasty bumper, I would leave this alone, but those hold your damn axle in line. Well, they are supposed to, anyway.

Day 291 - :yawn:
Still waiting to complete my order from 4-16-10 for rear bumper, swing-away tire mount with jerry can holder, and promised partial refund for all the wait. Bumper received in Sept, swing-away arm in late Oct, jerry can holder and an extra jerry can holder for the hassle that was promised have shipped now twice. Once on Dec 10th and again Jan 15th per the emails I have received with no tracking number either time. I have not seen either shipment nor the partial refund that seems to be having all kinds of problems getting through the credit card system. :banghead:

Nate
Hang it up man your work is absolute garbage and it will kill someone given time.
To defend it by saying it is "under your truck" is the most moronic comment I have heard from a vendor on this site to date.
And thats alot of dumb comments over the years.
