The DO NOT BUY thread

From what I've seen, there's only 2 or 3 brands that have great light output. Rigid, Baja designs, and possibly diode dynamics. I've only had experience with DD fog lights and they are amazing. All the others, I would consider all the same as the rebranded Chinese lights.

 

This situation would chap my hide. Have you considered contacting the Az AG's office and the BBB? These 2 actions are oftentimes enough to get a business owner to make it right.

 

Yeah they sent me incorrect hardware when I was installing their Molle panels, caused me a bit of frustration and a couple of trips to the Home Depot.

 

I think this is due to caliraised offroad and caliraisedled becoming different companies. They apparently split and moved to Texas under caliraised led, and caliraised offroad stayed in cali but under different ownership...... and I don't think they both use the same quality of lights

 

I will say I've had nothing but issues with CaliRaised LED rock sliders, first they arrived both missing hardware and having wrong hardware. After numerous back and forth emails over the coarse of a month or so I got what they said was all the correct hardware. When I went to install the sliders we spent a few hours having nothing but issues, the passenger side went on fairly well but the driver side almost made me throw the slider. First the slider didn't fit flush against the frame (which they later claimed was a wrong angle on a bend) but with some bolts in and torqued down got that flush. Next the frame clamp near the gas tank simply couldn't fit, I'm still awaiting the custom one they're making me right now (btw this install was done in the middle of March) after numerous attempts they've sent didn't work. Their customer service has been nothing but helpful and friendly, just wish they would have sorted all these issues out in a timely fashion or admitted defeat and refunded me for the troubles earlier on.

Electric Car Horn 12V Universal Vehicle Horn High Tone and Low Tone Metal Twin Horn Kit with Bracket - Add Safety to Drive with 118db(A) of Sound

brand is Anxingo. my review is L.O.L.

Not nearly as loud as stock. sounds like a toy, or one of those tinny oddly toned horns on a front end loader that signals to the dump truck that they are full and can drive away. just awful. not much invested, but i sure wish i hadnt snipped the factory wiring. save your money, and your time!!!!

 

Everyone complaining about their cheap crap not working, how about an expensive product by a large well known brand. I bought a pair of Rigid Industries 360 sae amber fog lights and they’ve had condensation inside the lenses from day one. The worst part is that the fine print on their warranty page says this is normal and not warranty-able.

 

Ive had my AVS low Pros for over 4 years and they still look great and Ive had no problems with them coming off or anything.

 

Man I'd be pissed...

 

Wow.

 

bx built was an easy Google. aspect of style not so much.

 

I would Not Buy anything metal related from NFAB. Their steps bars are absolute junk. They began rusting out literally on the last month of the so called warranty they offer. When I contacted them to see if I could get any help taking care of the problem. I was basically told I'm S.O.L. No warrantied help, nor any other kind of help as well. Not a good way to take care of thier customers. Here are the pictures of the bars I had on my truck. As you can see the amount of damage of rust on these were outstanding.

 

I’ve heard this about Nfab from a few folks. Stuff rusts from the inside out, even in California. Sucks.

 

I’ve had their podium steps on my truck (powder coated stainless steel) and have had no rust issues. The powder coat finish started to flake off the rear step on my first set after two years (five year warranty). They were very quick to get me fixed up with replacements, though it was a bit of a pain (buy new ones, then ship back the old ones for a full refund - they paid the shipping though). The new ones just started flaking off as well at 1 year old. This time, they had me “field destroy” them by rattle-can painting them red and they have a new set due to deliver on Tuesday. The old set could easily be cleaned with laquer thinner and refinished… but someone else can do that.

Needless to say, after putting the WKOR sliders on, I won’t be needing the replacements…

 

You’re gonna love those White Knuckles!!

 

I have the Podiums as well. The powdercoat started to fade at just under a year. They wanted me to buy a set and ship the old ones in that box. I didn't want to mess with that process, so I took mine down and had them Line-X'ed. That was close to 4 years ago....maybe longer.

 

This is why I always work on family cars and at a minimum tell them to let me review quotes.

 

I am new and just got screwed by toyotapartsdeal.com and I am here to warn you. Back story. I replaced my 60/40 bench in my 03 with captains chairs and a console from an 04. The drivers seat is getting a lean so I want to replace the pad. I order from TPD and it comes......it's a cover. Wrong. I go back and look and I ordered what I thought was a pad. I get a RMA# that day, put it in a box and send it back. I didn't open, scuff, rub, or in any way mess with the packaging sent to me by them. After 1 month of waiting, emails, calls, promises, I get the head of returns, he is on it. 3 hours later I get the unfortunately the packaging is damaged and we'll send it back to you email. Complete garbage. I call and get the unfortunately middle finger from the unfortunately in chief. (He likes to use that word, unfortunately...). He tells me to take it up with my carrier, USPS. I think they give $100 insurance. So I am out at least $225 for a piece of cloth that you would have to take a knife to to damage. Worst people and company ever. I thought I had the right part # but to just rip me off like that, not even half........"it's our policy blah blah unfortunately" I should have gone to the dealer and save a couple hundred!!
