AJ's Offroad 2 thumbs WAY down.

^ X2. I see a lot of words being thrown around but no tracking numbers from either party.

The Darkside, aside from those two large pieces of angle and the light tabs, I know exactly where to find all of that hardware in my local Home Depot's hardware aisle.

The parts I received were shipped on June 9, 2010.

The angle/crossmember support brackets were what I was referring to.

I read all this mess and I am thinking twice about ordering a Slikrock front bumper and Super Rails from him. Sad because I actually like his stuff and now Im thinking twice about it. :tear:

He's just one guy tho, vs years of excellent service & positive feedback.

Just saying ...

I still don't see any tracking numbers. Why are you just as resistant to post info as he was to tell you what was going on?

I'm not some paid shill of AJ's, I don't have any of his stuff and probably never will, I prefer building my own or buying used, but your out-and-out hostility and seeming refusal to prove any of your claims does not sit well with me.

Also, I have no idea how the hell UPS managed to bend that thing, I saw Colin (MoparManiac) drive full-speed into a tree with his brand new bumper from AJ (I think.) It took a big chunk out of the tree and shook everything around pretty good, and buckled the uniframe (even with 1/8" plate stiffeners welded on) enough that the radiator fan started hitting the fan shroud. The only damage noticeable on the bumper was some pine tree stuck to the paint.

Werd. That is what I was looking for when I asked for tracking info. Not a statement simply telling me when they were shipped. Must be a secret.

I wasn't hesitant at all. Here's the tracking number that I received in an email from AJ,

"[FONT='PrimaSans BT,Verdana,sans-serif']Dana,

The parts were sent to the same address as the bumper. I sent them
Priority International on the 9th. The label/receipt number is LJ53 0963
443U S which doesn't provide realtime tracking but will show that they
were sent. You should have them within the next day or two at the most.

AJ"


Also hostile? Have you seen what I went through? Pretty tough to not be hostile after treatment like that.

Here's the dent.

Not huge and also easily fixable, but it would have been avoidable if there was some thin material welded from there to the underside to box it in. That wouldn't have added much weight at all.

even if you post when those parts where shipped it wouldnt prove when the last possible set would have, the ones that never came.

UPS the other day just lost my stuff in transit from another vendor. wasnt the vendors fault, but mail DOES get lost or mishandled by the carrier.

as far as the bend, shipping companies like fedex and ups throw their loads all over the place. a friend of mine was there the day his lift showed up. the delivery driver for UPS just chucked them off the truck onto the concrete slab. the damage of yours, if a concern should have been taken up with fedex immediately. same shipment of parts i was talking about where i was missing a part, i ordered a optima red top battery. the battery actually showed up damaged! the case was cracked. I called about the damage immediately and all was taken care of.

sorry you had to wait so long. it sucks. i havent ordered from aj in a year or two (because the parts where the last i needed) and they came fast and on time. even with all of this though, i wouldnt hesitate from ordering from AJ's. 9 years with that good of rap is good enough for me. same with JCR and even Rough Country have had slams about stuff being behind schedule. I have bought stuff from all three.

P.S that bumper looks a lot stronger then my ARB did.

I had fedex claim they had delivered a package, but it was nowhere to be seen. 8 days later (after asking my landlady for footage from the security camera so I could find out which of my neighbors to hassle) the doorbell rang just as I was about to leave for work, and as I opened my front door the fedex delivery guy threw the package down the stairs at me, turned around, and walked out.

Thanks for providing that tracking number, it's just that we asked a few times and you never gave it, so it seemed like you didn't want to give the info out :spin1:

AJ claimed the hardware was sent in a separate shipment at the same time as the bumper... AJ, you got a tracking number for that? The Darkside, did you get one? Wonder what it shows.

No Sir.

I should have never posted to re-open this poo flinging contest.uke:

 

[bcmaxx]

every happy person tells 3-4 people, every dissatisfied customer tells 10-15. I will order from him again. My rails have held up super, even modified slightly and were still here across the border in a few weeks

Sad that they let companies like this be vendors on naxja. Hopefully a mod will review this.
