To all, I had a large lot of BFG gravel rally tires stolen today 1/27/12 from my house in Murrieta CA. The size stolen was 195/15 in gravel spec. Rare is an understatement with these rally tires. They will pop up due to their limited production. Their were brand new. Please PM me with any info you find online. I will offer a reward to the person who helps me catch this thief.

Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with Roadrunner Fiberglass? They have a website with tons of cool glass, but the part making me nervous is the business phone is a Nextel and the website is in Spanish. I hope they are a legit business because they make a cool kit for my truck. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Just a heads up for anyone doing business with Sean Mecham (Mecham Motorsports). He came into my shop and bought a bunch of stuff 2 months ago.. scales.. parts for his class one and one of our platforms. he wanted to write 4 checks and I agreed.

Someone sent me an e-mail saying they wanted to buy something I had in the RDC classifieds. I responded, & then they went on to say that they were away at sea, even though they made up a fake e-mail address similar to my friend's address. I contacted my friend & this was definitely not her. Please beware! It's not me trying to scam you! Don't open up any e-mails you're not absolutely sure of.

This insurance company has put us through a total nightmare. My fiancee was backing into our driveway when a kid down the street wasn't looking and drove right into her as she was in reverse and already half way into our driveway. She had to go pick up my step daughter and he lives at the end of our dead end street so she told him we would exchange info later on. He disappeared for 4 days and we...
Ever heard of these guys? I bought some long travel a-arms from this guy for my tacoma and waited for my stuff to come in the mail. I go back on the site and its down, call the guy and the phone is disconnected. I've been looking for this guy for a couple years. He has been ripping people off and splitting with their money. any body have any leads?
here is the type of work John Baker at Baker Motorsports puts out. After a dozen plus issues with the truck this is the repair work he did. While stuff fails in off road and fabricators stand behind the product, Baker Motorsports half assed the repairs and put this type of work out. Here is the proof. incomplete welded tubes, horrible welds, the list goes on. After numerous issues Jason...
Don't order anything from tuffrhino.com. 6 weels ago I ordered a Miracool vest from them. I paid with PayPal. It was supposed to be in stock ready to ship. It never came, and I've been calling them. No answer ever, just a generic recording that doesn't even say their name in the recording..
I ordered several items from them back in October. After fighting for two months I finally got part of my order. They have failed to send me my bumper and they will not return my calls or emails to get my product. All I want is my bumper. I thought this was a legitimate business in this industry and I was wrong. Save yourself the pain and struggle I have had and take your business somewhere else....

Had my Vertex 2200 sitting in my DD this weekend and it was stolen. (Not the smartest thing to do I know.) The truck was sitting in the driveway and at 2AM I had the wild hair to see how it would fit in the center console of my new truck. My GF came out to "complain" about something and I forgot to bring it back in the house. When I got in the truck Sunday morning it was gone. It was just the...

This last experience kinda feels like a took the money and ran scenario. We deal with a lot of vendors and rarely ever post about issues that arise but have learned over time that an early warning is always best for everyone and reduces losses especially when one simply up and disappears with your money and does not care that disrupts business and affects the customer in the end. Jack at...
