A.I.I - like I said before, you are welcome to call anytime. I have not been in the office today do to being sick, so I am completely unaware of any pm. I know it was on this forum or from me! I don't run all the addictive vendor threads so I will talk to the guys tomorrow. If you have bad blood with any of them, then it would be unfortunate for it to be taken out on forums. I'm a big fan of having man to man conversations and working things out. All the under the breathe comments that take place between vendors and others make forums a very lame place and really are not productive to furthering the offroad community.
This really is one of the last raptor forums where all that B.S. Doesn't take place, and I will work hard to keep it that way.
The reason I said call is not to avoid the question but simple answer it. Since I wasn't in the office and on my computer. The iPhone isn't very effective. :)
Here's the deal and to keep to my word about helping keep this forum clear of crap talk, this is the last I'm gonna say anything about it.
I don't care about people / vendors stealing our ideas. I don't care about SDHQ making bumpers. I simply don't care about people creating issues out of nothing. We dont care about hidding what we build from other vendors. If they want it bad enough they could always buy it and build it off of ours. Personally I don't think that is happening.
If you take a second and look, we have had custom parts built for raptors within the first month they were released.
While everyone is playing catch up we continue to expand.
What we do care about is...
Continuing to produce and develope new and innovative parts for the Raptor.
I do care about having high quality parts on the market and I care about the people who purchase our parts. You can ask anyone here who has our product. They will tell you that I will shoot you straight, be available anytime, and I don't treat people like they are customers, I will treat you the way I want to be treated and that is like a friend.
That's why I said call me. Because I will talk with anyone about anything.
I'm not like other vendors who call other companies customers and try to steal their business. I believe in running an honest business, built on the foundation of honesty, respect, and hard work. I stand behind all my product 100%. We aren't always perfect but we strive for perfect.
Sorry if this sounds like a rant but I thought I would get it out there and be done.
Please feel free to call anytime with any question. Except at midnight :) I'll be sleeping.




I'm going to put this as nicely as I can.

I highly doubt he will respond

So you didn't pm me around 7 tonight, then again around 8:30'ish(cali time) with the title of "Quit" saying that you know I'm affiliated with SDHQ's and to knock it off? Do your employee's always talk like that on your behalf

I'm also wondering why its so hard to answer a few questions that I figured to be very easy. Now I know many people(including myself) that post from an Iphone, so Im not sure why its so hard for yourself

So,
What's size tab's does the gate swing on?
How much does the tire gate weigh? Just the section that swing's including dimple died plates
What size material was used? I'm assuming you didn't run .120 wall due to weight

A.I.I - You must of missed the part about not mucking up the threads!
No. I did not pm you last night. You aparently pm'ed back a fourth with Jared on another forum, and for some reason you think it's cool to bring it to these forums. If you and Jared have a disagreement about something, you should handle it man to man and call him or leave to pm. Here's his number. he would love to talk with you. 480.671.0820

As for the Iphone goes ...... Sorry I guess???:hmm:

Now to answer the only part of your post that has any purpose!!!!

Tabs- We designed a custom cnc plasma cut 3/16'' cold roll
The tire holder - 1 3/4'' 120. mild
Weight - unsure as of yet. We wanted to wait until we got the product back from powder coat and have a final number to give. Was hoping to get it back monday but it looks like today or tomorrow.
