i have a question though, isnt the point of having a group buy so we can buy in bulk and get a discount. not pay MORE than they retailed for? id be interested in seeing what kind of price wayne could work out for us if he decides to make some

 

yeah in most cases group buys are for getting a discount, but we're talking about buying a part that is extremely cheap compared to others like it on the market...not to mention that JD as a company lost alot of money on these things trying to keep the prices down...

i mean when you consider the benefits of having the trac bars and the expenses they can help prevent the pay for themselves, especially since they are under $100.


Don't get me wrong...i've done business with wayne before and i would much rather keep my business with him since he is an actual part of the community and gives back to the ranger community, but he was unsure of his cost and production timeframe...

 

info updated...see 1st post

 

put me down for a #5305

 

got it man...not sure if you caught my response post over on ORR or not...

 

yeah, got it!

 

#5305

 

I'm in for a #5305 for my 07 Sport.

**EDIT** Shat!!! Wasn't thinking, need the one that will fit the explorer axles. Number changed accordingly.

 

did you install a lvl II rear end with that engine swap?

Thought you were doing an explorer swap, so youd want the 5305 then

 

100 % yes , I have money in hand.

Put me down for 1 set
5304 small housing

 

Committed to a 5304...can't wait. Rob, thanks for putting this all together for us, what a pal and a great person among us in this great community.

 

No, I have an Explorer 8.8 sitting in my garage that will be under it soon.

 

sweeet!

 

So I am, I wasn't thinking about that when I was trying to figure out the ones I needed LOL. I edited my post! Thanks Scott for that catch.

 

*update*

spoke to Tom again. JD has a "production meeting" in 2 days. Tom assured me that with the information I've given him, that he is going to bring it up during the meeting and make sure that the company is aware of a possible standing order for well over 1,000 dollars.

I should be getting a call back from him by the end of the week!


if he hasn't called me by friday i'm gonna call him back..

 

cool beans....

 

Rob, please make note that I will require the 5305, not the 5304 I originally put down, if it affects anything when you tell James Duff. If not then no worries.

 

Any news?

 

none yet man...i know, it's killing me...Tom was s'posed to go the production meeting last week sometime...i couldn't get in touch with him yesterday, everytime i called he was out back in the shop...

i'm getting off of work here in a few minutes and i'm gonna give him a call around 0900 CST...
hopefully i'll have good news by then...

 

i may be down for a set depending on how much cash they are.

 

Any updates??

 

any more udates im in for a set of the 5304

 

sign me up for the #5305, I definetly want some.. depends on the price of course. Thanks!

 

You guys have to call James Duff to order them. 89.99 a set plus shipping.

 

guys....there's another thread with all the info, including the phone number, what part number, and all the info that you need to make an order. No internet, you need to call.
