    I have a Black RAD industry grill I'd like to sell if anyone is interested. I loved it and the guys at RAD are great! However I live in Wisconsin where they salt the heck outa the roads so it started to rust behind the letters. It's not their fault anything steel up here rusts. It's just minor but I got a plastic pro grill just because I didn't want to paint it every year. I actually think it would look really cool coated in line-x to add some texture.

    What would give you that idea. Yes threatened to not buy their products. No, I emailed them and messaged them. The problem was resolved.

    Its impossible to figure it out on your own. I cant just ask myself if its fraud. Thats why people discuss things in forums. No worries. I actually worked with the RAD industries guys via their Facebook and email and got it sorted. I am out of the country and that makes communication rather difficult. I am not to worried about the title. It was a was a real concern until I figured it out, no thanks to anyone that's replied to this.
    Looking forward to the grill.

    I was asking that. A simple I have used that link before it's safe would have been helpful.

    People with this attitude/view have been banned for less, just so you know going forward and as a member of this community. Before posting in a forum about fraud and a title that alludes to it with a well known and respected vendor amongst said forum members, perhaps waiting for a response from said vendor, could have avoided this whole thread schanengian. No worries bud, its a tight community that protects it's own. Enjoy your grille and stay safe overseas.

    The way they replied to my inquiry via email actually worried me. After my bank flagged it as possible fraud I emailed them and their response was strangly written. I honestly did not trust it. It's never a problem to be too safe with your money. Its never bad to ask if anyone else ran into the same issue. That's why I asked the question I did.
    Thanks for the info on getting banned.

    No worries man. Like I mentioned TW protects its own, yourself included and its vendors, so threads like these often escalate and end badly from what I've seen. Enjoy the grille, would be my choice as well over the plastic pro grille.

    I am quite sure it was just an inquiry.
    You can never be to safe.
    Maybe should have changed it to:

    "apparently this will get me banned"

    At the point in which I made my post it was already established that the link was safe and it was your bank flagging it as fraud. There was no point in me commenting on that. I commented on the reason I opened the thread in the first place, which was because the title lead me to believe that RAD was committing fraud. That obviously was not the case once the thread was opened. You not being a dick to other members that asked you to change the thread title to reflect that RAD was not committing fraud "would have been helpful".

    ***Latest update*** My bank was just being careful. The folks over at RAD industries have cleared this whole thing up via email and Facebook. They are a great company that works well with and cares for their customers. Also the link below to their 3rd gen tacoma grill insert is one of the most kickass looking grills on the market and a fair price. I highly recommend.
