Ouch! :flipoff2:
Dan (RuffStuff) does make some good stuff too.

DAN at RUFF STUFF has the best ones for the front. TJ front axles have an offset coil, so when you order them you need to buy the offset coil bucket with 3" retainers. TRUST ME I just went through all this a week or two ago.

Here's the best pic I have, dunno if it will show what I'm talking about or not.303436

:D CT, nothing personal, just way pricey compared to what is out there. But you have the good contacts, maybe you can use your influence to help the prices become more competitive :homer:

No worries Gui. :beer:
I used RE, Blue Torch, and RuffStuff brackets in my build. Between those three brands there was everything I needed. Unfortunatly I bought some of the BallisticFab (really nice guys) stuff, but it wouldn't work for me so it's going on Craigslist. My suggestion would be to look at Clyatons, RE, RuffStuff, Blue Torch, and BallisticFab to see what brakets will work for your application and have the prices you want. I haven't seen any one kit do it for me (that's why I used a combination of brands).

I would consider the tntcustoms kit. If you haven't seen it, they just came out with a kit is made just for a tj and a hp44. just drop the truss on, slide the coil buckets next to it and burn. the only thing you have to measure for is the lower ca brackets. it is a pretty nice kit. I am using it on my tj. Cost me about 450 bucks to my door but it has been the easiest part of my buildup.

I think Dan at Ruff Stuff is a rip off. He rips off every one elses designs.:mad3:

I take great pains to make things different from others........look before you speak. Our brackets are like no others, whos' paying you?

A company that neither designs or sells bracketry. I have seen you knock off Poly Performance and RE brackets as well as Blue Torch diff covers.

Take a long hard look at your 3 legged 10 degree bracket, and look at Poly's website. It appears that you have changed the cosmetics of your axle tabs, because your early ones were direct copies of Poly parts.

It seems as though you are a guy without a real buisness. No address on teh website, only a phone number? Are you running this "buisness" out of your garage or someone else's shop?

I think you are a piece of shit.

There is an address, 2338 Gold River Rd, Unit Q, Rancho Cordova, CA

Its on the website. On the main page.

Lets address your concerns.......First off, Our designs for basic items have not changed since day 1, all of our Axle tabs are, and have always been 3/8" thick and available in 3 different lengths with 4 different base profiles? Unchanged from day 1.

Our 3 legged link bracket is entirely different from anything else made, no comparrison, oh no! The angle is the same, I guess that makes me a ripoff artist.......

Comparing our covers to Blue Torch covers is apples to oranges, theirs is a 3 piece, 1/4" thick, kind of cover. Ours is 1 piece, 3/8" thick, pure function cover that I may add costs' quite a bit less and they look nothing at all alike......

And RE Brackets? I have no idea about bolt on stuff, we make weld on stuff.......But most of the RE employees come over to get their own Fab Parts from us, they are about 2 miles away......

As for designing our own parts, just look at our website and say we don't design our parts, we have way too many unique things to even begin to think so. And a couple of years ago I was in a garage, so was Poly. Hewlett Packard started in a 1 car garage, Microsoft started in a dormroom, and Thomas Edison developed the phonograph in a cellar, everyone starts somewhere.......

Now about your last remark........I guess thats your opinion, don't understand why, never met you. But just to be fair, I think you are too!

Bullshit. Lie to everyone else, not to me. You know which designs you have copied.

Why don't you try to do something innovative. There are at least 30 things I can think of today that would sell if someone laser cut them and sold them. I guess you aren't smart enough to make something that isn't already made. Stick to copying...I guess it works for you.

Edit: I am done with this and I am done with you.

Where did this crap come from? Not really sure why he picked me to be the badass with, guess he got the headache line tonite.....

For the record, look and learn, Period.

You handled yourself well against an obvious nutswinger, I'll come to you for my TJ brackets for my HP44 build. :D


if you cut me a deal on shipping.

Man, I didn't mean to start a bunch of shit.

I think we can move on. I have bought stuff from Dan and he is an excellent vendor, with very high qaulity product, and execllent service, honestly one of the best vendors I have worked with, and I am not a person that normally pimps any vendors. I will definitely continue buying stuff from Dan, and know that I have referred several of my buddies to him, who did buy his products and received the same great service.

Let's move on!

On a lighter note, CT, I will be bugging you soon, I saw the build on MT, and looks excellent, I will honestly be copying some of your ideas :) I want to get my rear link stuff figured out :)

Gui

Dan sent me an excellent IM and was honest about his parts! And I trust Gui!

I'm not promising that I'll buy there, but I will trust they will be great if I do.

dan-
