**OHIO WHEELIN' & MEET-UP THREAD**

How much do you have? Haha.

More details to come. Just keep me in mind when you all buy Toyota parts. I will be selling the best products you can get for our trucks and trying to get the best price since everything costs more to come to the east coast.

 

@Caboose117 is also trying this, but I don't think to the extent you're working on

 

Good for him, except I’m building a brand new shop to back up the sales with in house installs

 

You win lol

 

My goal is to actually stock the items personally
So if you want them they are only a few hours away or at most a day or two for shipping the next state over. Above that you might as well be ordering from summit as they are already on the east coast and have been established for a long time

 

Summit is ok, I probably take it for granted it being only 25mins away though.

 

I will eventually stock, if the demand is there, but my goal is to work with companies to offer a strong dropship option to make it easier for me and the customer.

 

CBI

 

@dirty deeds i got my IFS from them, free shipping, no issues

 

Another option will be to have your order shipped to me and have a discounted install if you don’t want to do it yourself.

If the demand grows, free installation might happen.

 

I have their LT too. No issues except I got a wrong spacer, new one was overnighted. I also waited a month over the ETA on my rear shocks and leafs and had that stuff overnighted to me from Montana.

Tracy has always looked out for me.

 

Maybe not them, but Prinsu, yes.

 

unsubd

 

Don't all those giant ass bumpers have like 6 week lead times? Seems like it'd be a bitch to build up stock. Also, isn't building up stock the exact opposite of the point of drop shipping?

In any case, if you want a decent business please for the love of god communicate with your damn customers. XII performance drop ships springs but ships blocks themselves, so everyone freaks out when they only get half their suspension. JUST PUT A NOTE ON THE DAMN SITE THAT THEY SHIP SEPARATELY

 

If the local demand is high enough for me to keep stock, I will, but it would be for local purchase only and that would also require me charging tax. If you purchase through me and Pelfrey ships, it’s no tax. Most manufacturers are 6-10 week lead times. Some more, some even keep inventory themselves.

Would you guys rather have Baja designs, rigid industries or both?

I already have Total Chaos and will be working on fox and king as options for the suspension.

I think Pelfrey might be my only armor manufacturer. We will see.

I’ve never been a fan of CBI products, they just look weird to me.

Let’s make this happen. Once I get the name registered and everything is rolling and legal, I’ll start teasing you with the goodies.

All orders that will be placed will get 50% off installation and free beer while waiting if I do it too

 

Speaking of LEDs, if any of you local boys has a rigid 6" bar I'd like to do a side by side comparison (when it warms up) with the 6" Black Oak bar I have on the bike.

 

Lights are lights. I have all Nilight auxiliary LEDs on my truck, they work just fine. Maybe not as bright as a $400 20" Rigid single row bar, but I got it in 2 days because prime and didn't cost but $40.

A cushy suspension would be awesome if prices are right.

Armor doesn't matter as long as it isn't Fab Fours. They make a fine rear bumper, but those fronts are hawt garbage! I think most agree with this.
These manufacturers should be whatever the customer wants, because you don't like CBI's looks doesn't mean you shouldn't sell it.

Ultimately, it's your gig. Everyone else will have differing opinions. Do what you want. I'll support it!

 

What suspension do you guys want?

I think I’m going to add dobinsons to the list.

 

4 links with bags bruhhhh

 

So if I'm having a difficult time keeping my truck aligned does that mean it's time for UCAs? Stock suspension with 267/75
