NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Lol, my luck, I probably would be staring out my side window and drive off the road in a straight stretch.

 

Well I made sure to double check my ebrake every time I jumped out of the truck to get the rad shot...I could live without the truck, not sure I would do too well without my dog.

 

I checked mine about 35 times before I got out here

 

I made my 4100 mile road trip and totally forgot about the my drone! I was unpacking and found it and fuuuuuuuuuuuu..... ah well.

 

Actually me asking about space is me playing with lighting night shots with a drone.

 

Your options are 4 ft grass or mud up to where my rock sliders are.
I charge beer for extractions

 

Can I come check it out?

 

After keeping my BP-51s for seven months, ARB decided it was easier to just cut me a check instead of rebuilding them. Where is the best place to buy rims these days?

 

What brand are you looking for?
For the JDM stuff, showstoppers is pretty good.

 

Honestly, im cheap as shit, so anything thats black and on sale is going to be tempting.

 

what was wrong with them. that is the flavor i eventually want to go to, tell me your horror story

 

They sprung a leak. They all seem to do it. I don't think there's anyone in the NW with BP-51s that hasn't had a problem with them. For similar $, consider ADS instead

 

I was looking for a low maintenance, but high quality option. Basically something I could put on the truck and not worry about for longer periods of times, or care and feed for like a race shock or whatever. Not liking the sound of this shite.

 

Not sure on best place to get rims but RPT1s would look tits on a GX

Gather round and I shall tell you a tale.

In April we drove down the coast to California and I noticed that three of my four shocks were leaking. I called ARB and they told me to get lost because the GX470 is an "unsupported platform" and therefore they aren't covered by the warranty. After arguing with them for a week, and finally settling on them rebuilding them, I bought a whole new suspension after getting laid off as soon as I got back from that trip to california. I dropped them off at ARB and they said it might be three weeks.
After six weeks I emailed them asking what was going on. No reply. After two more emails they told me they were having trouble finding parts to rebuild them. After three months, I asked what the hell was going on and it took a few more tries to get the answer that coronavirus was delaying things. At five months, I hear that management is willing to give me 60% of MSRP instead of rebuilding them. Sure, whatever the fuck ever, I just want to wash my hands of them at this point. Another month passes and I ask where my check is and they say its in the mail. ANOTHER month passes and I email asking where the fuck it is and don't get a reply so I call and politely that I'm sick of getting jerked around and I want my goddamn money. I ask to talk to a manager and they said one would call me back in an hour. No call. I call the next day and just say, I want to talk to a manager and talk to Jeff. I almost politely tell Jeff how pissed off I am and I want my check. He called me back an hour later and said its signed and FedEx is picking it up in the morning. Turns out Jeff is Jeff Blake, the VP of operations and he next-dayed me my check.

So overall, dont buy anything from ARB, but Jeff is cool.

 

Yeah they would, but thats a little rich for my blood. I think my limit is going to be like 250 a corner

 

SCS wheels. i have the Ray 10's in dark bronze on mine

So ARB ended up keeping them? Or did you get them back? Seems like anything to do with the BP-51's they have horrible service but for other stuff they are ok
