So... basically we're still waiting on the RDS. We know that the Spot variants are all released up to 54" and... that's it.

I think many people will agree we want good solid answers now. I personally am very impatient about this and this is definitely a rant thread about the waiting but I further assert that Rigid is holding out on us. :rage:

Not sure if true or not but I've heard that Rigid isn't getting the RDS any time soon. The factory in China will be selling the same bars to vendors as soon as 10 days from yesterday. I've already talked to 2 guys expecting them and I should have mine hopefully by the 1st of the year if all goes to plan.

Oh and their a 1/3rd of the price, so if anyone wants in on the deal I may be able to set you up with the guy I'm getting mine from. Just pm me

here, on frf
i am going to be the buzzkill here, and thats ok. i personnally dont mind the conversation of which types of lights everyone wants. but to create the thread in the vendors section talking about their competitions lights, doesnt seem right to me. this is the area that the vendor pays for, so this is their space. i think this thread should be in the lighting section where you all can have at it. i am the king of bs and sarcasm, but not in a vendors section. we should respect their place and their info and products in their section.

by the way, i had a 40" damaged when i had my accident back in april. i finally got around to getting the light sent in for repair. they fixed it under warranty and had it back to me in less than 10 days. i seriously dont think they have anything to gain by holding out on us with the new light bar. in fact they have a lot to gain by releasing it asap. but what good is a product if it has a defect? my guess is that they are still testing. we beat the crap out of our trucks, having the radius lightbar adds extra length to the bar as well as put more weigth in the center where the curve is farthest from the mounting brackets and sticks out the farthest. due to physics this makes it a weak point at that spot. i would hate to be offroading and the bar snaps in half. then you will be complaining about how the product was made cheap. i am not defending any vendor, just stating facts as i see them. rigid is more than capable of making a comment. as a vendor myself, i would like to see these types of conversations in the general section rather than here.

If this was geared towards me than I can accept full responsibility as I didn't check what section it was posted in(I think I saw you do the same thing recently). I just read the post and added to it and should have know to check.
Maybe Bird can move it out of Rigid's vendor section like mentioned

ha, yeah i did make a comment in a vendors section, however i was actually referring them to the op of that thread. but in general i think it would be nice to see each vendors section free and clear of bs. definitely let the bs fly freely in the general area. lets just not get too carried away in a section the vendor pays for.

to be honest, it wasnt directed at you specifically...... it was all of you. but no harm, no foul.

Are you seriously telling people they can contact you to get a light bar from someone other than Rigid Industries in Rigid Industries' own supporting vendor forum? Seriously? Hard to imagine anything more assdouchey than that in an online forum.

Are you from China? That's one of the few places I know of where someone would do something like this.

well I'm getting pretty impatient too...would have loved to have the radius track bar for snowball.
Honestly, given the choice I prefer to buy from a US Manufacturer, putting aside the price difference and even the quality difference, it's important to me to keep as much manufacturing and jobs in the US.
I'll wait. Patience is a virtue.
