Ned, Chill out man. This is a forum - in a forum pretty much anything is worth talking about. I am not some wet-behind the ears newbie to wheelin. I have been around decked out four wheelers since I could walk. I know how parts should go on a Land Cruiser, Chevy & XTerra. They are often delayed but customers are usually told that up front. Some customers dont order these parts for weekend wheelin', they order them for long planned tips and expeditions and when they are "buggered" around on the delivery it can really mess with long term plans.
The bottom line - when I tell a client something is going to happen at a certain time it does. And if it doesnt then I had better have a bloody good reason for it and I LET THE CLIENT KNOW IMMEDIATELY - they dont have to run around after me.
So lets share the love, keep talking and not get to worked up eh?
I think this discussion is one that fits the forum perfectly. People are obviously interested in it and have a point of view.
Hopefully I'll get to meet some of you guys outside of the PNW one of these days.
Cheers
