San Antonio

I completely forgot. I've got a repeating event on my calendar though, so my phone reminded me this morning

 

I think ATX’s is on the 23rd, may make a run at this one since I have been without the tacoma for now almost two weeks. It’s funny to say but I’m tired of looking at BMW’s. Mercedes, Audi, and what not....

 

I'm seeing an awful lot of people jumping on the "fuck Pelfreybilt" bandwagon. It's a shame. I'd like to believe that they're good people with good intentions and I find it hard to believe that they would deliberately do something like this knowing that it would destroy their reputation and close their business. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them and really hoping they get everything figured out.

 

Never agreed with fkn over a customer.
Nuff said there.

Better than none at all

 

Looks like they filed for Chapter 7. Time to call USAA broseph.

I feel for ya. I really wanted that dual-swingout. I nearly ordered it but didn't want to spend the money at the time.

 

UPDATE: The Pelfreys filed for bankruptcy.
From their FB page


We love our Pelfreybiltfamily and have never had any ill intentions to wrong a single person. We do wish everyone believed this truth instead of resorting to believing we’re the horrible people they’ve painted us into. After pouring everything into Pelfreybilt and building the reputation for quality and customer service, why can’t people understand there’s something going on that’s out of our control rather than assuming the worst and defaming our character.

The unfortunate truth is that we had an amazing team of investors willing to pour a couple million into helping us thrive & as a result we had to remain quiet, so asked the #pelfreybiltfamily for their patience. However, with people feeding lies on social media, stirring up negative publicity, and opening claims on PayPal, the investors pulled out. They deemed the #pelfreybiltfamily too volatile and risky to make the investment. As a result we had no choice but to file personal bankruptcy, and lose everything. We literally poured everything into the business and have lost everything: our business, our jobs, our home, our cars and the money we loaned the business.

It’s heartbreaking to us to have given so much to the off-road community and to have built such an amazing company known for being one of the best in the industry, in just six years, yet have so many people turn their back on us and accuse us of as horrible things as fraud. All we’ve ever done is focus on providing the very best to our customers. We simply grew at a rate we struggled to keep up with, and refused to manufacture products of a lesser quality. Without capital to work with, it eventually took its toll and required investors.

Regardless, what’s done is done and feelings aside, we wish we had better news, but unless someone steps up and is willing to take over Pelfreybilt, the debt owed both to vendors and customer, we don’t see a way for our customers to get their product(s) or refunds. This is less than the ideal situation, yet it’s the reality the #pelfreybiltfamily helped create by allowing negativity to influence their decisions rather than looking at our track record and believing in us to always do what is best for our customers.

We wish each of you all the best, regardless.

So
Seems they’re blaming customers for their demise

 

Guess I'm stuck with a dented oem rear bumper till demello makes one. Or maybe a mob town. I deffenitly had my heart set on a pelfrey standard rear as, imo, it was the most pleasing to look it. and was waiting for a sale. Glad I went with suspension first. Still disappointed and feel bad for all those affected.

 

Thats the way to be remembered.

 

I feel like I should probably track down all the posts I made supporting the Pelfreys before the torch and pitchfork mob comes at me.

Super shitty situation all the way around but I still love all the Pelfreybilt crap on my truck. Looks good, works good, and I didn't pay full price for any of it.

 

Hope you get some of your money back in spite of all this...

@Kolunatic insaw your post and shortly afterwards the mods posting, I just looked away.

 

I got lucky.

Got a bad feeling about the whole deal on Friday afternoon and called the bank. USAA took care of me, it was back in my account in less than 24 hours.

 

I glad they took care of you, maybe they will be back and under a new name but it will take some time.

 

I found this incredibly interesting and have yet to see anyone address it. I'm still getting all caught up.

 

Well this should be an interesting drive home

 

Flooding here but at least we’re up high

 

Well made it home, now for get some zzzzs. Hope everyone has a good Sunday talk to y'all later

 

Get some rest
Flooding all around
