RPG logo anyone

RPG is a company that was founded using engineering talent and passion for offroading that was put into use when the first Raptors were sold.

The company was started based on engineering know-how and quality manufacturing expertise and their continued work to innovate and develop new products have enabled RPG to grow and flourish. Of course their growth was made possible thanks to the many great customers - especially the ones who are on this forum.

As we all know, people join and leave businesses all the time. The freedom to change jobs and the ability to start businesses are two things that help make this country great.

Corey and others at RPG continue to be the backbone of the company and no one should question their commitment to the company and to growing the product line, services and the business.

I'm looking forward to see what's next from RPG as I know it will be at least as good as what they've delivered so far.

Someone give this man a marketing job at RPG or a job in politics...geez!

HA HA - very good!

I'm in Bus Dev / marketing and I also lead a non-profit corporation (environmental focus) and, because of that, I am forced to try to work WITH politicians.

And, as I'm sure you can tell, I am a big believer in entrepreneurial efforts. I've started companies and I've been involved in the aftermarket business and I know how difficult it is for any businesses these days, especially small businesses (and ones that depend on positive feedback on the interwebs) and I support them all passionately as they are the engine that drives American and they're what makes this country exceptional. While I'm on my soapbox I admit to being very concerned about the recent years' trend of blaming corporations for what's wrong with this country.

We all know the real blame is the politicians run rampant and trampling the constitution all to hell....

OK, now you've proven you're beyond stupid.

Your post speculated that a company is going out of business and you think it's "sad that (your) random comment gets all the vaginas upset."

If you had any clue about how hurtful your moronic post was you wouldn't have followed it up by PROVING how clueless you really are.

If you had a ****** you might be ahead of the game as you might actually be able to get some ***** then.

Yes, small businesses are the backbone of our country. However, making a comment about a businesses continuity should not elicit such a drastic response given the recent and drastic changes. It's clear you want to blindly protect RPG but what about the the Raptor community? I've seen plenty of aftermarket shops close and leave guys with no parts and out thousands of dollars. Clearly this isn't the case given the statements made by RPG and their new employees so there's nothing to worry about. But that's the job of the company to address their clientele's concern which they had not done until this thread exploded.

And frankly, I think this sort of over reaction turns people off to a shop. But that's just me.

Can we just blame Obamacare and be done with it......

 

[Icecobra]

Obamacare and Ihavegas and don't care..

 

[iSurvive]

So we have a stoner selling RPGs!! I thought that was illegal in the private sector. Now I have gas and still can't sign up for Obamacare on the Internet. After reading this whole thread I don't know how much my 2012 Raptor can tow!

FRF was the last bastion of helpful information, and now I feel lost...

I could use a big hug from Special Ed!!!

 

[naptown]

Wow. I just read this entire post. I have actually taken a break from FRF for a bit since the Havoc run, had to. Leading up to that was making me buy mods at a high rate. My bank account was hurting a bit. I had left a couple VM and emails at RPG looking for the last parts from my July order and had not heard back.
Finally got a PM back from Brian saying he would look into it since Jeff & Jarrett were no longer there. They moved on, thats business. I only talked to those guys on the phone, seemed like good guys. I had a chance to catch up and talk with Corey for a bit at the Havoc run in PA, he was great wealth of knowledge and great to talk to. Hope everything moves ahead for the company well.
I love my stage 4 + and all the other gear I bought from them and will continue to support RPG as long as they are moving forward.

So one quick question: Is Brian the owner of RPG ? Just saw him post in. I own multiple companies as well and know what it is like to lose people, sucks sometimes but its business not personal, it is life.
Wish all those guys the best and continue to put out killer products !

No Brian's in charge of sweeping the shop floor.
