    I agree. It should not be this hard. I said at the very beginning of the process that I would like to have harnesses included as long as they were not too expensive. Maybe it got missed or something. I'm not sure. Mathew, no need to get all pissy.


    That is why when I logged in this morning and saw that the harnesses were being discussed, I mentioned it. It was not a big deal if the order was already placed.

    So to clarify, yes, I do want the harnesses for each light.

    What? Lol. If there is no minimum qty, then why ask that? Post up a group buy on the forum.

    Before it used to be a minimum order of 20-30-40 lights as time progessed. Probably has something to do with shipping, now they probably have a minimum $$ order because they are concerned with profit. I'm definitely not doing a group buy. I did one for wet okole a few years ago and dealing with 275 peoples orders was a damn nightmare.

    I dont really think he wants the hassle... hence the entire reasoning behind him telling me yesterday to just "handle things". Not only that but that is a shit ton of money he will have to collect up front then figure out how to ship all the products from his house and all that, which if I am not mistaken is the entire reason why he never utilized the vendor status before now. If I am speaking out of turn Paul, just let me know.

    In summary Floor, NO.

    {sarcasm} Well damn it all to hell! Can't we get ANYTHING to go right here? {sarcasm ends}

    I am curious as to wanting $2k in orders. I am thinking it may be like when I was working with Auroroa LEDs. There is not minimum order, but there were "fees" or "penalties" if a specific order did not meet certain criteria. I run into that all the time with my bearings and wheel hubs and such. In order to get the price I get on the bearings I have to order 40 or more at a time. Nice individual price, but yeah, when you gotta buy 40.....


    Hey no worries Paul. Take your time and do what you gotta do man. It's cool that you were willing to do this in the first place.

    I would say its prob got something to do with them coming directly from China and customs charges and freight and so forth. If its not at least 2K worth then maybe it is harder to get it a place on the shipping container or something?? :notsure: or it may be that the guy that would handle the ordering for Paul wouldn't get something to make it worth his time for something under that??? Who knows, we just know that whether they ask for a minimum or not, they still want one.

    2.5' Fabtech Suspension lift. 285/75/16 Cooper STT's New headlights Surefire mount with Quick Fist Shrockworks bumper-3 wks out on delivery Light Force 240 Blitz arriving today
    What's up fellas! Been a minute since I posted. Need some opinions. I am running Cooper Discoverer STT's 265/75/16 on my truck with a Fabtech 2.5 inch suspension lift. (Soon will replace with 5100's with Eibach coils) Have been having trouble with rubbing issues on the fender flare, (will fix with pinch weld mod) but also the frame and uca's at full lock. I think I will try to correct some of this with some spacers. Was curious what you guys thought about what size. I want as much of the tire to stay in the wheel well as possible so basically I'm just looking for enough spacer to clear the frame and uca's. What do y'all think? Thanks a lot! Here is how she sits right now...[​IMG]

    You have two general options: spacers, or new wheels with a different off-set/backspacing.

    do what you gotta do paul. I have some pods coming from relentless that will tie me over until the lights come in, if they do. If not, we weren't suppose to get these at the price! If you can't get the minimum $$ met, I can always order a 40" from relentless and get their mounting brackets, or order something else!

    Hey guys
    Newbie here and a bit confused on where all the Bama boys are hangin out. Saw the BS thread...Looks like that stands for Bama Slamm'g :mad: ?
    Searched the site for Hawk Pride Offroad Park & didn't find any threads about it. It's a killer spot. I've been on a few of the easy trails and to the ARCS and SRRS events over the last two years. Missed the 1st one this year, watch their calander it's worth the trip. All you Huntsville guys it would be about a 1 hour drive. It's +/- 5 mi. West of Tuscumbia, AL. Attached pics are from the past 2 years.
    Here's a link to their site:

    John what made you decide on 5100's with Eibach coils. I've been considering the same or OME's with 885's.
    If this needs to move to the BS thread jus speak up !
