i hope you all don't get too pissed about this, but THIS SH*T HAS TO STOP!!!!!!!!
i've been waiting since the beginning of june too, but bitching about it isn't accomplishing ANYTHING!!!
as far as i see it, the more threads about this is just that much more time he's on the computer defending himself & that much less time he's in the shop building my arms.
in all the hours he's spent reading & writing about this crap, he'd have a few more sets done!!! maybe mine, maybe yours!!! i'm just as annoyed as the rest of you, but this is part of the reason his sh*t's not getting done!
LEAVE HIM THE F**K ALONE SO HE CAN GO BACK INTO THE SHOP & FINISH MY SH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He doesn't have to camp out on his computer and defend himself, if anything, he's made himself look worse.

i dont really like mike because he did the same thing to me, so im not defending, just correcting, i do a bit of custom work, and there is no "big markup" on arms, ive contemplated on doin the control arm sales thing myself, and i have a good hook up on supplies, and punch these #s, $2.80-5.00/ft for DOM tubing from 1" or 1 1/4", bushings $4.50/set (dont even know if mike whites price is that low), balljoints $18-30 dollars a piece. the screw in type balljoint mounts are about $8-10 a piece. then misc grade 8 hardware too. then the time it takes to fabricate everything. also alot of his bolt in and press in balljoint mounts are laser cut, dont know if anyone has ever had something done before, but it aint cheap, especially if you dont have the bracketry already in CAD.

siknes, your just plain wrong, we are not losing money, never have, we just had to spend more on equipment than we expected.
secondly to the guy that thinks we make alot of money on arms, your just plain smoking crack or totally uninformed. theres abot 100 bucks a set of profit on average. remember we do alot of wholesale to shops.
and many of them have ordered, had their parts shipped and have said nothing on here.
to the person who said I should have gotten a loan, duh.... I said at least 20 times before that I had bed credit thanks to my ex wife and her BF on the side. I couldnt get a loan.
I have shipped more than twice the number of orders as Ive gotten for the last few months and the list of people who are owed parts is getting smaller.
so keep on posting your way off base opinions that dont even come close to having any idea of what we are doing.
like Ive said, all the people who know me personally have stepped up to tell you, and you still dont believe it... so what else can I say... nothing. all I can do is make parts and show you all. I worked today building parts and will continue to work 7 days a week at least 10 hours a day until we are not only caught up but have parts on the shelf ready to ship.
we do have some parts on the shelf at the moment that can be shipped at any time.

Same here bro, i have no problem with Mike, i have BYC arms on my truck at this moment. He was and still is a very loyal minitrucker... and I think it's kind of sad that so many people would bash a fellow brother, just b/c he is a little behind and in a bad place. He said it himself, he could say FUCK YOU ALL and go drive a truck and make buttloads of money. But he has the respect to stay loyal to the people that ordered from him... if you can't see his loyalty, then maybe you should go buy tons of the same product from another shop and make them grow too fast and then these threads would be talkin about another shop. I seriously think that Mike started his business to give minitruckers quality Tubular Control Arms without the ART prices, and i think Mike succeeded, he gave/is still giving people top of the line products and askin bottom dollar on them, TO HELP YOU/EVERY MINITRUCKER OUT!!!!!

Has Jay gotten his arms or money back yet (a question for Jay and/or Mike)? Just figured id revive the original purpose of this post since ive checked it out often as its turned into 4 pages, and I dont wanna read though another 5 just to see if the guy gets helped lol. Maybe it was settled off the forum, if that's the case let us know. Later

Sorry dude, I haven't been taking notes on your personal life. That's still no excuse for sh*tty business practices.
