It definitely was not a "jab" at you. I just like to be cautious because something could happen to it between now and then.

And they are brand new. I just found them $70 cheaper than wheelers and with free shipping. 14" coil with 650# spring rate. Should be plenty with your bumper and to eventually go to 2.5" lift. After I did the math on getting OME shocks and 884's up front and then switching to a different coil down the road, I figured the sway-a-way was a good deal because it saves me the headache of switching out coils on the OME plus the cost will about even out. Granted, they are 2.0s but I don't wheel nearly as hard as a lot of y'all so I think they will serve me well.

 

That's fuckin awesome!! Looks like a mail truck though. Haha

 

I'm pretty sure he wasn't talking shit about you or your product. No need to explain yourself as most folks in here aren't ignorant to pricing of products and the work that goes into things. The switch plate that Mike made isnt a "product", more like an arts and crafts project. Haha

 

I'm not trying to stir the pot here either. I'm just curious what he meant by supporting locals first, which I took to a local member is making the same thing.

I make these for my Tacoma brothers so I seriously take everyone's feedback into consideration. If there are improvements you all want I can try to do them.

 

It's all good man. I'm glad you welcome our feedback. Some people loose sight of the fact that if it wasn't for a community like this that offers up so many ideas and so much feedback then they wouldn't be shit and wouldn't be doin as well as they are. Good to see you haven't lost that and aren't a fuckin douche who came in here to talk shit cause that shit wouldn't have turned out well ...

 

So things don't get out of hand or misunderstood, iggy, i think you produce a great product and i though about getting into a group buy. I liked the look of yours and i loved the location since that spot tends to become a trash can. I tried not to use anything from your design so that it didn't infringe (I don't know have a patent or copy right in place). I like to be able to make things on my own. So i made my own out of a 1/2" thick hard foam. Being proud of my work, i posted a picture in this tread only. Since then, there have been 2 gentlemen who have been interested in me making one for them. Since i agreed, i stated in a previous post that it is a TN thread exclusive- i will only be making them for guys i know personally and will not be making them for anyone outside of the TN tread. In no way @IGGY am i trying to steal business/customers from you or copy your design.

 

Roadtrip to Memphrica this weekend!! Excited to get some cutting done and sliders built

 

Well that was pretty professional. Well done Mike.

 

Well if the tables were turned, i would want clarity. I just don't think anthing should get out of hand or be misunderstood.

 

I want to come.

 

No worries man! I didn't take it that way at all. I was just curious to see if anyone else was making something similar. I wouldn't like it if someone copied my work, but that's not was I was thinking here.

Competition is the what's makes products better, so maybe someone had a better idea that I could observe to make my panel better.

It's all good. No misunderstanding or shit storm here and I can relate to helping my fellow dudes out, that's how I started the panels!

 

Come on then

 

Who's all going to be there and where and what's all going on?

 

Stink I forgot I'm leaving for destin on Saturday....

 

You have a good thing going and like i said, i didn't want to copy it. I will recommend your panel to other people though. +1 to you for trying to figure out the facts before creating a shit storm.
edit: i didn't realize that the rep system doesn't exist anymore.

 

Gideon, Zack, and myself. And we'll be doing all kind of shananigans on trucks.

 

Hopefully I make it, Gid just gave me a list of over 150ft of tube/pipe and 15sq ft of steel plate. All of that weight on factory 3 leaf springs lmao.

 

Done.... I think. If you guys see anything jacked up, let me know. I think I'm just waiting on the accessories now (and I could rewire my ditch lights, but im kinda nervous to take the actual wiring on...idk, we'll see.
