seems like a lot of work to save what, 20 dollars? you could just use a hitch pin for recovery straps, it's only $6 at Wal-Mart.

By Neil Flanagan (Electriceel) on Tuesday, August 21, 2001 - 08:35 am: Edit

$12.26 at grainger...

neil, i think they are going for the hitch receiver/shackle combo. nice link though, you guys might also want to shop at northerntool.com

By Jeremy A. (Jmansphc) on Tuesday, August 21, 2001 - 09:45 am: Edit

The 5/8 in. Quick Release Hitch Pin looks cool. I didn't know they made hitch pins that locked.

By Steve (Steve2) on Tuesday, August 21, 2001 - 11:15 am: Edit

Steve,
Let me know if you get them on Thursday or Friday; if you do, I can get them from you in Pismo this weekend (and pay for them too).

By Steve (Steve2) on Wednesday, August 22, 2001 - 08:39 pm: Edit

ok - guys they should be in tomorrow and i can weigh them to find shipping costs. i think the easiest way is to fax me your name and address on a regular piece of paper (8.5x11) on the top 1/6 LEFT HAND UPPER CORNER- this will be your SHIPPING LABEL to yourself - so write clearly!!. at the VERY bottom of the paper, put your phone #'s so i can call you to get either credit card info or to give you a total so you can mail me a check. most likely you will hear from me on thurs afternoon or friday morning.

here is the list so far - if i am wrong please say so!!

1: gp garrett
2: sam s
3: badams
4: aroq
5: chris dejesus
6: jose a caberera
7: tc
8: marc
9: carl
10: ben butterfield
11: jeff
12: myself

my fax # is 310-451-2953
my phone is 310-451-2133

i'll be gone from 10am-11:30am but you can call or fax me anytime. only i or my sister who works with me will see any of the info. no weird mailing lists etc, you will get your own fax back with your reciever shackle!

steve
ps jose - i'm not going to pismo - but you can pick it up from me or we can work something out so you can have it for the weekend. call me tomorrow.

By badams on Thursday, August 23, 2001 - 08:28 am: Edit

Steve -

Can I just email you a Word document with the appropriate information. Then you could just email me when you receive the product? It would save trees and be a lot easier for me. Do you have a printer?

Please let me know if this is alright

By Steve (Steve2) on Thursday, August 23, 2001 - 08:59 am: Edit

badams - sure go for it - if i can't read it i'll let you know

have recieved faxes from
gp
jeff
sam s

jose - i'll call/ see you soon

I just faxed and emailed you before reading this, I take it a word Doc. attatched world be fine.
Carl

By Ben Butterfield (Tenacstud) on Thursday, August 23, 2001 - 09:40 am: Edit

I just sent mine via email. Let me know if you need anything else.

Ben

By Steve (Steve2) on Thursday, August 23, 2001 - 10:51 am: Edit

ok - guys - they got here. they weigh 7.4 lbs each. ups makes you round up. shipping to east coast address is $7 to a business $8 to a residence. the total is $260.29. divide that by 12 and it comes out to $21.69 each. i checked the units and you will still need the second pin to attach the unit to your reciever, the uint is quite beefy - made by genuine steel - so my guess is that it is usa made. looks like are real nice unit.

add shipping to it and you get your total

for those of you who want to send me a check - my mailing address is

Steve, I too want to thank you for putting together the receiver/shackle deal. Beefy is definitely the word. Hopefully, I can get down to SoCal for an event and meet some of the Disco owners down there.

It was nice meeting you. I used it twice over the weekend and it worked great.! See you in the trails.- Did you get the Disco II?

Jose

By Roverine on Tuesday, August 28, 2001 - 12:03 pm: Edit

By the time I first saw this thread, I figured I'd be too late. I wanted at least 1 of them ... wanted to ask hubby first how many but couldn't reach him very easily while he was traveling. Did you say the bulk rate deal was on through the 30th?

Kim - a day late, and dollar short.

By Steve (Steve2) on Tuesday, August 28, 2001 - 01:11 pm: Edit

hey guys-

thanks for the kind words-

so far i have three people that want to get one in addition to the twelve of us who already did..

if another three aside from tc, javier, and kim want one, then i'll do it again -but please email me today. HOWEVER, i'm going to have to charge $1 extra each for office supplies as i need to use tape, the copier and other stuff to get them out the door-

so let me kow asap - so i can order them before the deadline!!!!

steve

By Roverine on Tuesday, August 28, 2001 - 03:55 pm: Edit

Steve,
That would be great, and you are too kind! If you get another 3 responses please count me in? Just sent you an e mail.

Let me know & thanks,
