I did buy from these guys because they are a forum sponsor and "local guys." I think we have kinda sorted things out on here, and I'm ready to give them another try when the time comes. Like you, I'd much rather deal with a few issues from smaller shops than buy from the larger stores.

Thanks Jeepingben. That's very helpful and eases my mind. I was confused as the 3/4" d ring seems to be the industry standard for recovery gear. The multiple site's I've read suggest that a 5/8" d ring is more suited for a side by side. Based on that chart, 3/4" is excessive overkill. I...

I did put off the install of the backbone for almost 2 months. There were several emails that went back and forth between Mark and myself. We did talk about the issue. He sent me a link of exactly which d rings to buy. Upon receiving that, I proceeded with the install. In hindsight, maybe that...

Daniel - I really appreciate you taking the time to post and the candor of your post. I was replying at the same time you were and didn't see it before I responded. Please hold Sam in very high regard in your business. He has really pulled through for you. I appreciate your offer to send...

Sam - I'm sorry, I missed the part about China. What I saw was the office in CO on the about page. As stated before, I have no complaint about you. To be quite honest, I would have never posted this had it not been for my interaction with Daniel. If / when you are more involved with this...

Any of you guys know a lot about strength of steel or recovery gear? I think I ran into another snag with my Detours Backbone. The hole for the d ring isn't big enough for any of the 3/4" d rings that I've ordered. I have 2 sets with the standard 7/8" cross pin and one set that Mark from...

I ordered a Detours Backbone with light bar from Mark on November 12th 2013 for my 98 XJ. I was hoping to have it for my 'build week' Nov 25th through 29th. I was told it wouldn't be a problem, that would take 10 business days to arrive. Mark immediately billed my card. I contacted him Nov...

Thought I would share my experience too... I ordered the 16w square pod / led rock light combo deal on the black Friday special. I assumed the parts came from overseas, but the lights were at least assembled in Colorado. Their website shows a Colorado address and the description...

I've got a set that looks just like this and I've used them quite a bit without any problem. In for another pair!

When I was in high school working at a local stealership a salesman for a car alarm company showed up trying to sell some alarms. Part of his demo was to show us that you can use the long arm of the club as leverage to break it off the steering wheel. I've not had much faith in them after that.

I totally agree with old_man. I'm a little confused by A&E's position on this. They hired a religious redneck that makes duck calls to do a TV show about religious rednecks that make duck calls, and are upset that they got a religious redneck that makes duck calls? Seems like they have...

Anyway, here it is as posted by EZEarl from CF... If you have stock fog lights on a 97+ and upgrade your harness in a manner that uses the factory wiring to trigger some new relays, your fog lights will have and/or cause issues unless you make some additional modifications to address the...

I ran into some problems after installing the putco headlight harness and autopal housings with stock replacement H4 bulbs. Basically, once the high beams are turned on, they will not turn off unless you turn off the headlights. I also had a phantom high beam indicator...meaning it was very...

I keep full coverage on mine. It's an extra $10/ month. It would take many years of the $120 extra expense to offset the cost of its replacement if something were to happen to it. Not only should theft be considered, but there are lots of uninsured drivers out there...and they like to do the...
