    There is some serious markup on a few items I just casually shopped around from the website....

    Do you have a specific product you are referencing? Or did you stumble across one of our once and done kits where we offer multiple products in a package for one price?

    I think the "negativity" (maybe poor wording) comes from the old saying "if it's too good to be true....". I personally think this is an awesome idea, especially for someone like me that's local to state48. If I'm ever in the market for some armor, probably not likely, I would definitely take advantage of this program. Thumbs up to demello and state48!!

    This program has been great for me especially after The pelfrey disaster! I nearly lost out close to $3000 on orders with them but my credit card company came through in the end and reversed the charges! But that didn't happen until mid November so with Christmas coming and 1 daughter in college it didn't look like i would be ordering any bumpers anytime soon. Then i came across State 48 overland saw what they offered and was very skeptical about it but after talking with Eric i soon had my order in place for the new Demello front bumper. With only $250 down allowed me to give extra for Christmas and i can pay as much or as little as i want to until its payed in full! Eric is quick to update me on my order. I have no idea how they make money and that's ok with me. Customer service is over the top and i can only say good things about this program. Who wants to dish out thousands of dollars and wait 3-6 months for products not me , not anymore! Anyone on the fence about this program that State 48 Overland offers its a no brainer! Oh by the way i have bought other products from them and shipping and packaging was excellent and delivered on time ! My bumper order. [​IMG]

    All my rigs are purpose built. From crawling to camping. I also enjoy a nice stock truck for what that’s worth. Toyota’s are the jam!
    It’s because of this I just dropped some $$$ with you guys over the holidays. It comes down the customer service and backing your company with good people.
    Erick and Jay, don’t know me from squat, but they treated me as a close friend and made recommendations for me. Demello has been in business for years, most copy their designs anyway. For me I want to spend my money with people I would sit down and eat a meal with ;)
    Thanks for the hard work on the bumpers and sliders for my three rigs. This is going to be killer. And thank you for making small tweaks that could be done, it’s the details.

    I am so stoked! I will be hitting you up shortly for an estimate on Baja Designs. Just figuring out which series I want where.

    I am a competitive shopper and better than most with exhausting my resources in finding gear/parts and whatever else I want for a good price with the right people. ‘Merica!!!
    I will say this, I have had nothing but an awesome experience with spending more than 4K on BF with them. Since then, I have had awesome conversations with both the owners Erick and Jay. These conversations ran the gambit (suspension, lights, gear, food, bs) for literally over an hour each call. I learned/discussed more with Erick than anyother venders in the past three years
    That being said I feel solid with their knowledge, mindset and business model. The items I bought matched the prices of the deals on Demellos site, as well as I got hooked up on TPAMs and SPODs.
    I will not share with you what they offered me Suspension wise as that is not my place, however I will say that it is more competitive King setup than anyone else on the Net thus far.
    Create a relationship, and help others make a living ;)
    Just giving you my experience recently.

    Pure numbers my friend. It’s easy, they approach a fabricator with a very large check. This check is to pay for bumpers that customers have not ordered. For this large deposit and taking care of the serious amount of Customer service, the fabricator will give them a break off msrp. No difference than anyother warehouse. Got to put up the $$$ to make the $$$.

    Hell if I were smarter, I would reach out to these guys, buy a warehouse outside of Atlanta partner up on the east coast.

    Hello everyone

    I would like to say I have deal with @state48overland with Erick
    He did and has gone out of his way to help me out with everything I have ordered from them and keeps me up to date on everything that I have ordered from them.
    The one thing that impressed me the most that he did reach out to me on Sunday with most of other companies when even give me the time on a Sunday.
    As matter fact other companies that I’ve left messages with didn’t even reach out to me for like three days after I did message them.

    State48overland did Reach out to me on Sunday we talked in messages about what I was looking for. That right there let me know if they was going to go out of there way to help me out like they did on a Sunday customer service met a lot of them.
    We did take on the phone early that next Monday.
    State48overland did give me a good deal on some king shocks and other things I was looking for. everything was ordered That Monday by the end of that week I did receive everything but my socks we all know king is busy at this time a year so I understand that but he has kept me very updated on everything with the shocks.

    Thanks for the great customer service.

    It's pretty easy gentlemen.....

    If YOU want to know if someone is worth their weight in salt.....

    CALL THEM! CHEW THE FAT FOR A BIT!!!! Erick and Jay are BADASS guys! Really though.....just call'em!

    You ever wish there was a place you could call where you can get all the answers you have been looking for from guys who have already lived it and done it? Do you want advise generated from experience or from money?

    The one thing everyone here will notice is that once you talk to @state48overland YOU know what you are dealing with! Period!!!! It isn't rocket science people?!

    It wont take but a few minutes to see what ALL of us have seen and dealt with @state48overland !

    They have talked me out of so much B.S. every dude in this realm told me I need to buy! "You have to do this bro...." Nope.........Erick and Jay spit it straight! You may not necessarily like what they are saying...haha "Buy once, cry once!" But they are spittin' ya straight!

    No BS, No Douchy shit...and definitely not the place to go if you need to feel cool to all your middle aged buddies whose wive's have emaciated them so much the low "T" shots aren't kickin' in anymore! No dyed beards here or douchy 90's tattoos and definitely no pomposity!

    Real talk, real dudes......and they actually WHEEL THEIR TACO's!!!!! ha!

    @JDEMELLO you killed it with this bumper man. All the gussets inside the bumper had us drooling. I especially like the reinforcement that extends all the way to the ends of the bumper. The way it lines up with the fender flare is something a lot of people have mentioned and you got it right. Thanks for listening. 20190107_170806.jpg 20190107_171231.jpg 20190107_170825.jpg 20190107_171022.jpg
