In regard to the law suit, we just completed deposing the two guys who own the failing company Trail Ready/RSI (or as we affectionately refer to as "fail ready") these boys decided they wanted to try and take what was not theirs. Along with defrauding their local union, they have a $75,000 tax lien against them and are in arrears with the union for over $120,000. They intend to file bankruptcy in order to get out of the union debt, while spending over $50,000 on their rock crawler toy. The truth always ends up coming out, they are in major trouble and stand to loose their business and their homes.
As you have seen over the last year Road Armor has released over 20 new products. We worked very hard to increase our manufacturing capacity and have taken our lead times from months to a couple of weeks and at times (depending on the product) days. We are currently shipping over 180 units a month.
Competition is always a good thing and we welcome the opportunity. I think we just need to lay out all the pertinent facts of our features and benefits and allow you to make an informed decision. We/I forget about all the differences in our product and every other manufacturer. If you do decide on Road Armor, take some pride in this: look far and wide you will never see anybody who says they would prefer another brand over Road Armor, if cost wasn't an issue and with this discount it is not!
Now I know some of you had bad experiences with the Trail Ready brand of "Roadarmor" bumpers, that was not us. That was the whole reason for the split. Since November 2002 Road Armor as a company and as a product line has been completely reborn. Our design technology is cutting edge, no other competitor comes close. Our product is by far more complex in manufacturing than any other, our quality is top notch, our customer service has been good but we are striving to make it even better. During the last year and a half we grew 220% in sales. We have put our head guy Jim Medlock in charge of customer service. He is a top flight individual, you can count on him like the sun. If you ever have a problem you can reach him on his cell at 206 510 8648. Jim has been with me for over four years and is a true professional.
Our business is well managed; we have a full time CFO managing our finances, Pete Dahmen. He is also a top flight professional. Pete was a former customer of fail ready, outraged with how they delt with him as a customer he came to me to finish out his truck. He was so impressed with us that he came onboard as a partner in the business. Mark Hanson out of Dallas TX, was a former employee of Ranch Hand and had been looking at Road Armor for several years. After the split from fail ready, Mark called and said he was so impressed with Road Armor he had to find a way to be involved. Mark is also a partner and is now our COO. He has been the leader in our work on the H2 product line. Mark is highly valuable to our business and if you ever need anything business realated, is there for you anytime.
I realize this may be more than you wanted to know, just decided to hammer out some details in order to let you know who we really are! Thanks for you consideration.

Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
I still have a few little details to work out, like installing the PIAA's and some marker lights but that will be done this week. 
Sure makes it nice to have a warm dry place to work on about anything.
