GEN 2 RPG OFFROAD - going bankrupt?

[Johnny@Apollo-Optics]

I've heard that Aaron Dixon of Dixon bros racing is in Bend now, i haven't contacted him yet though. There may be one or two in Boise also. I've also considered fabbing my own based on rpg, I don't own a bender and there is not a single bend in their design. But the material and my time cycling everything makes their price point on a proven setup pretty attractive. On the other hand the experience and pride in my own would be pretty neat too.

Same goes for their bump setup, seems hard to beat

Theres actually 2 bends* nothing crazy, but yes theres 2

Do you have one of these in stock by chance?

Unfortunately no, almost all RPG hard parts are essentially on a made to order basis.

Talking to RPG, The goal is by end of the year for everything no longer than 4 weeks. But currently stuff is about 6-9 weeks.

When I got one of these for my truck it took about 5 and that was this time last year.

Dixon Bros was building long travel TTB 4wd Ford race trucks before almost anybody else. So that's a great option. If you're going to do your own fab work using only mitered pieces instead of bending tubes, that's another great option, (and it's an excuse to buy more tools). I think the last TT built in-house by Bryce Menzies' team was all mitered joints too.
There's some great tips on fabbing a rear shock cage here:

Be sure and post up photos of your project!

Corey at RPG called me today - He says he wants to reach an agreement on the mishandling of my project. He said this months ago but i’m going to allow him next week to make it right before i post any more details. For those asking for more photos, proof etc. i have invoices, photos, videos, screen shots of communications, etc- it’s all documented - all will be dropped publicly next week if no resolution is met.

For anyone saying those cases are random dismissed cases- you are incorrect.

There are always 2 sides to every story. 1st person to talk is always believed over the 2nd person.

Fun fact, I purchased the ranger they built on this series in Vegas. Had a 4x4 dixon kit up front too. I've seen those videos a few times.

I guess I'll have to stay tuned in for next week's episode of is rpg going bankrupt or not...

not exactly. according to my dearly departed mother, there are 3 sides to every story, his, hers, and the truth lie somewhere in the middle.
