No problem, thanks for the quick responses.

it must have been because the bumper was $100 cheaper than one of our site sponsor.
if the sponsor was so good to the site member, i should be able to find stuff cheaper.

what did you do to me, nothing, nothing at all.

this site is strictly an income for you

the same as YOU have done for this site NOTHING AT ALL.

All of our site member pricing is verbal. If you call and say you are on the forum, you get the best pricing. I'm sorry I cant just make our links do that. As for this site being an income, I wont disagree with you on that, but I was here 6 years before you were and long before I used it to help pay my mortgage. But since we spend a lot of money to sponsor it, yea, I need to sell stuff and offer things for sale. That's how a business works. We are not here to get rich and never will selling Rover parts. We could charge more, but we wont because we too are enthusiasts and wouldn't be able to look someone in the eye at an event, knowing we had ripped them off.
I quit a 6-figure job to help my friend grow his business and be able to go to events because that is what I like to do. I was on my back fixing someone's truck at the Winter Romp a month ago. We didn't go there to sell parts, we went there to be with other enthusiasts and have a good time. If you think we do this for the money and have not helped this site, well then you sir are sorely misinformed.

If you have anything else to say about myself or the company, you can email us directly. Following me around on the internet and demeaning myself and the business is childish. Be a man about it.

I have a family to feed, and his BS has exceeded my limits and now it is personal.
I absolutely understand that. To be honest, that's the only thing I'd ever seen from you guys that seemed unprofessional. Truthfully I had no idea he was following you around, I had only seen what was in the one post a while back. I probably would've reacted similarly if he had done something like that to me.

Again, you all have been nothing but stellar to me personally. I'll continue to recommend you to people and ill continue to use you myself. I do appreciate what you guys do with and for the community, and I hope to actually meet you guys at an event some time.

Follow you around the net, you sure think a lot of yourself.
Let's see the posts, where I have followed you. Or even intrupted your business. I simply give another option.
Be honest you're pissed that you can't sell hubs for +300 profit any more , now you have to complete with the eBay guy selling the same part for 75.00.
Unfortunately that is how internet works type in a manufactures part number and the price comes up.

Everybody buys from who they want.

Well I slapped a Warn M8000 into my TF Winch Bumper today. Using an 03/04 grill made it A LOT easier with clearance issues and all I had to do was trim two notches into the lower section of the grill for the ridges of the M8000 to fit into. I wasn't going to place the solenoid box under the hood and cook it here in TX so I went kind of a Jeep setup where the solenoid box is mounted to the bumper just in front of where all the wiring connections need to be.

Yeah if I was a hardcore wheeler and slid off rock ledges all the time it's not ideal, but my D2 is more of an expedition setup vs rock buggy anyhow. I was able to use the Warn Solenoid bracket and just flip it around and drill two holes for the solenoid box to mount up to, then routed all the wires thru the grill and connected them. I consider it a pretty clean install myself.

The only people selling hubs for $300 profit are listed in your signature line. We sell the same ones for $145. But I get your point about how we are the criminals and you are here to "save people money"
