Jack,

I'll try working on something with them. ARB USA is located in Renton, Washington. I doubt they will make the show.

Everynow and again you run into a company or business that goes the extra mile. I have found another, ARB USA seems to thrive on customer service.

Now I don't have to explain how good the Old Man Emu products are, or ARB's recovery gear, the products speak for themselves, and yes, I and my sons own a few of their outstanding products.

On a Saturday not long ago, I decided to inquire about a piece of recovery gear, so I shoot an email off to ARB USA thinking I'll get a responce sometime in the week ahead, but no..... I had an answer back in no time, from the president of ARB USA no less. I guess he puts in a Saturday or two like the rest of us.

Well last week my youngest son Matthew encountered a small problem with an ARB product. Remembering the outstanding service from last time, I shoot a late night email. The next day I received a responce from Matt Glass at ARB USA explaining that I can't get that one piece we need. Matt from ARB also explained that the unit was still under warranty and he must send Matthew a more complete set-up.

Well it took about a week(traveling cross country) and what do we find on the doorstep, yes, everything we need to fix young Matthews problem and get him back on the road.

Matt Glass at ARB USA Email: mattg@arbusa.com

ARB USA is the real deal, if you have a legitimate problem or just a question, give ARB USA a shout. 

Check out their website:  http://www.arbusa.com/

Thank you Mr. Jackson and Matt.

Nice meeting you at Hoak's Marty.

I had the track bar snugged up and I'm ready to go wheeling. Eric Hoak fixed me right up, as always I appreciate the expertise of Hoak's Four Wheel Drive Center.

Very nice! Looks pretty tough.

Now you have to re-spool that cable under some load. ;)

Nice work on posting the fine pics too.

Scott, I can't wait to see your rig. I have always admired that Jeep and it sounds like it's getting even better.

Have any pics of it?

Oh.....over the last few weeks:
Ted and I rebuilt the rear CV driveshaft again. (More Ted than me) ;)
I had to change out the new spark plugs and install newer sparks plugs because of a check engine light. :-\
Took a 100 mile scenic ride with Wonnita through 4 counties with the top off. ;D
Passed State Inspection. ;D
Tried cleaning all the road chemicals off from winter, they have corroded everything on my Jeep.  >:(

Product Feedback / BF Goodrich Mud Terrain Tires
« on: February 21, 2010, 10:57:58 am »
Five years ago, I had a set of BFG KM Mud Terrains installed, 33x10.50's to be exact. These tires took me through everything and handled some major abuse. I can't say enough about the traction and toughness. They had cuts and scape's but never cut through to lose any air. I put over 40,000 miles on them and they still had fair tread on them when I upgraded to 35's, great wear properties.

Bad News: It's getting difficult to find these tires since they have been all but discontinued.

Good News: The KM's have been replaced by BFG with the KM2's. I'm running this tire now, so far the traction is as equal or better than the former. These tires are not quiet but then they don't have to be. I understand BFG uses a slightly softer compound on these tires but it's going to be a while before I can get a wear factor on them.

Off road traction on any BFG Mud Terrain is going to be great, on road they are very good too. If you like the hum of an aggressive tire you're going like these.

I loved the KM's and I'm feeling the same way about the new KM2's. I would recommend these tires to everyone.

My rear view mirror fell off today, I'm typing this waiting for the new glue to dry. ;)

Mike,
Never helped with a Japanese trio. :'(

However, the first problem may be solved if you ask nicely, you just may get the H3! :o

Angie,
Not sure what to say, do you find the Kama Sutra interesting reading?

I'm desperately trying to be real...um...gentlemanly like here. 8)

Changed oil and filter, changed sparks plugs, greased all zerks, changed air filter, checked and/or topped off all fluids, respooled the cable and packed all recovery gear back in the bag.

Going for a beer now. ;)
