I finally received my truck on the 14th. They made me a deal on a bearing kit when I made the purchase, guess what NO BEARINGS! I wrote them several times no response! BAD business...Sorry ice_man. I wanted to write this A.s.a.p. but held out for a response to my emails or something, thought I'd give them a chance cause things happen, but notta. [:@]

Hey iceman, looking good. I was gonna give obrien a second chance. I wrote them and told them I wanted to buy the HPI Baja SS for $850.00 but didn't want two week shipping like the las time. just like before, they don't respond to anything. They have terrible customer service. You got lucky when you ordered from them. I guess you get what you pay for, becuase their prices are great, but service sucks. Sorry just need to vent.

Careful guys. Erin has began a scamming streak,...which I feel he's been pretty consistent with, ever since we did our trade over a yr ago. Steer clear of this low-life.

Here is a pic of mine that i built over the winter. I'm waiting for the wheels and tires from the CR-01 to be available, I LOVE the look of them:

Heh, those are the stockers! The wheels/tires I need should be on tower any day now. I have also since taken chunks out of the paint, and blew off a mirror, need a spring to fix that. I also used the proper clear orange paint for the lights that are yellow in that picture.

BruiserBuilder used to sell them for the F350, but has since disco'd them. I have about 5 to build for others who have ordered them from me (I am not a vendor, just someone who likes to build).
I am currently working with a vendor to eventually have some Lexan tops made. The goal is to offer the style in the pics, and another with a raised top.

very nice
the ones you are making are made out of fiberglass, correct? lexan would be lighter, but i hope they use a thicker lexan.. it would be nice if it wasnt flimsy..
