I wonder how much of the stuff on WOL Jeep is paid for, or being "tested". Cuz if he is "testing" i am very jealous of him.

this is no way a negative comment..

but your plan is to troll full traction on this board, even though, you dont have a problem with them. Isn't that true?

I am not trolling as you would like to call it. And i am not speaking exclusively about Full Traction, i am speaking of the aftermarket in general.
And no, i don't have a problem with FT.

Why is it that a negative comment is considered a troll when he is stating something that is, in fact, true? Maybe it would also be better that we, the consumers, do not have to finance their production. We do pay, in advance, for products that aren't received for weeks or months, correct? Think about that for a second. What a great business when you have the customers pay the vendor's suppliers and I bet they actaully have "net 30" on the supplies. I am not sure I have ever seen any other business like this. WE finance their business without terms and when one person bitches, he is a troll? Interesting.

On a better, less trollish note, I actually received an ultimate Full Traction lift within one week of ordering it from Northridge and am sort of confused on how they are now behind schedule. It is, so far, a great product and Northride appears to be a trustworthy vendor.

.
Correct. The key words here are "have to". You can usually call a vendor and see if an item is in stock before you order and then choose not to order, if you are willing to wait for them to get them in stock. With everyone still short of product, it is usually quicker if it is drop shipped from the manufacturer. That is when you pay in advance.

I am just stating facts that are true. The power of the keyborard certainly does scare them and they don't want that. That's why they say I am trolling. It reminds everyone of their problems with Vendors . Full Traction can dispute any of them here. Nothing is stoping them from doing so.

First off we are back from sema and will be all over all of our backorders.

FT did not sell at the show and leave anybody hanging First in , first out is how they ship.

Remember also FT has 36 employees 4 of them went to sema the rest stayed back building parts.

They build parts everyday but they can only make so many and are selling twice that just like Jeep.

I am sorry for all the delays but please be aware we communicate with FT every day about parts and push to get our stuff delivered.

I am not quite sure how people are explaining that they are financing these companies ability to pay for these products prior to them shipping. From what I have seen most companies are not charging credit card until the product is actually shipping. They are not charging the cards and then sitting on the money for 3 months.
