Another shop/ maybe a different company. Ask Robert he was the one telling me. Said something about the woman in charge there has no idea what is going on so he'll ask Gerald's son???
I don't know who would be making them in WA. They have been made here in SoCal since they were developed. The only way they would not be made here is if they changed in the last couple of weeks since I haven't chatted with anyone in that time.
Product on the shelf for larger items is a challenge. You watch the sales history, you know the lead times, you factor in how many you are currently selling versus how many you have on the shelf and try to do a prediction on when to order.
2 things happen that screw that up incessantly. I'll use the example of our 17" big brake kits. We built 75. It took 3 years to sell them, 25 per year or about 1.25 per month. They have an 8 week lead time. We got down to 10 sets and I placed the order because I don't like to be out and given historical sales history, I had 8 months worth on the shelf.
We sold 10 sets in one month. The lead time went from 8 to 12 weeks. We were out of them for about 3 months and no amount of pleading, begging, or threats could change it.
I’m just happy savvy and others are still making parts for our tjs, if they need to do that to order for it to make financial sense for them I’m fine with it.
I’m fearful for the day people stop supporting us.

Wow, great work and future plans Chris. If my wife ever has an issue with my Jeep spend, she won't, she's the best, I'll show her your upgrade list, lol.
Exactly. Just show your wife my build, and I think any money you've spent on yours will pale in comparison to what I've spend so far.

At least that one didn't vibrate... sheesh!
I wish you sold that non vibrating magic black TJR to me just for research. I'm (was?) getting my Jeep slowly to look like that one though :risas3:
I keep seeing you two say your jeeps are vibrating but I guess I don't exactly know what type of vibration you are reffering to
I have a black, non-vibrating TJR on 33s...just saying...
