    This is not me trying to sell you parts. Just a friendly FYI rigid lowered the cost on all E-Series today by 15% so make sure when you guys are out shopping from anyone you are not over paying because it takes a while for the pricing changes to trickle down for some companys.

    Source for this? Why would rigids own site not be updated?

    I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope you were just misinformed. But your prices are below MAP and I have it on good authority (I'm a dealer myself) that rigid has not made any changes. If all that I said is true it'd be wise to delete that price sheet if you'd like to continue to deal with the best lights in the world. They're pretty strict on MAP.

    Hopefully the same sources you have :), The big proactive guys like Nothridge4x4 have also changed their pricing already also.

    Thats taken just now. And northernridge has been undercutting MAP for a while now. Dealt with a customer last week quoting their prices. Its only a matter of time until their customers suffer because rigid wont honor a warrantee on a light sold in violation of their pricing policy. Same thing happened with Amazon.

    Call your distributor, or rigid in the morning and get facts before you go pointing figures.

    Just because you aren't alone doesn't mean what you're doing is right. Pricing hasn't changed according to my contacts at rigid. Sounds like you were misinformed but I'll say it again, this isn't something you want to mess around with if you want to stay the good favor of Rigid. It'd be wise to do some more research instead of going by one other company doing the same thing. Rigid shows no change to their site and if by your own statement 'it takes a little while for the changes to trickle down to the smaller companies" then wouldn't rigid be the first? :notsure: makes sense to me.

    Answer me this: why would Rigid only tell a few companies prices have changed and not change them on their own site?

    Well I'd love to believe you man, but until I see some documentation of my own, my prices won't change. My distributor is the third oldest distributor for Rigid, he's been with them since their first Sema show. I have a hard time believing a canadian 4x4 site and you got the first news of this. Not trying to rain on your parade or anything honestly, I'd just hate to see your dealer license pulled for something you mistakenly bought into. Leaving it alone now.

    I hope you get to stay that way. Pricing on your own site remains unchanged?
