I don't ask question when I get these kind of requests. Three crater charge canisters welded back to back....
I did suggest mounting a bright red cone just protruding from the front each and see what happens when you circle a government building a few times

@MDarius your rack is ready for pick up. See you Sunday.

In a way it looks mass-produced and that is a compliment.

1st 100 flat rack installed. Everything lined up nicely, bolted it down and very secure. Sits at 2" off roof line. Easy to get your hands in between the roof and bars to attach RTTs and other bolt on accessories.

Took about 30 minutes with the two of us tag teaming it. Should get a good report back on the clients 5 hour trip back to Denver. Installed the sliders as well (see slider thread)

Thanks,

Jason

Due to recent comments, even though constructive with a positive outcome. I want to protect myself and my products...So, I've re-designed a few things and will release my new items along with a few other things when my current inventory is depleted. Also, I have submitted for patented status (Monday 3-7-2016- 7:00 ET NY, NY with a 5-13-1988 photo and release letter from the original designer of similar and patent pending items) for old and new rack attachments and accessories alike. This is not a cheap process and can take upwards of 2-3 years to finalize, but the attorneys fees, drawings, letters, fees and blood type has been submitted (Monday 3-7-2016- 7:00 ET , NY, NY)

I just don't want to deal with/get into a altercation like I've recently read about Gobi, D'Mello, MT and a few others out there. This is a legitimate business for me (not many out there) I report/pay taxes on my business, I'm an LLC in Wyoming, carry product insurance and am a permitted business in my town/state.

Now onto the other stuff...

New T-T tube splices arrived today.

I must have my head in the sand. What kind of patent and copyright issues can you get into with Cruiser parts. Almost everything you can do to a truck has been closely done to some degree anymore. Outside of copyrighting a name fighting over construction details seems fruitless.
Twenty one years ago when I was the first I knew of to use a bronze and shaft hinge for a carrier while everyone else was trying to use trailer spindles and bearings I was hoping someone would jump on the bandwagon and see the benefits. I was the odd man out getting the critical reviews. By no means did I think it was my idea. I was pretty sure the bearing builders had the idea first. I always considered a certain amount of plagiarism a compliment. I can't live forever and what would be better than your legacy outliving you.
I hadn't heard of issues about Metaltech and Demello.
I have some unique products but quite frankly the square channel base design on the FJ40 bumpers I build is a pretty close copy to
everybody's. I believe Warn was first on that in the early 70's. I'm glad Warn didn't decide to sue on that

ALL,

Just a quick update.

Some of my good friends and long time MUD acquaintances know/knew that Trail Tailor was a hobby and I always said that if it got to be too much of a "job" I'd scale back. TT has grown way beyond what I ever thought it would. I suppose that would be a good thing for most that are greedy and have the "more is better" attitude, but I don't want the hassle of incompetent and undependable employees that cause me and my clients issues. This would make it even more of a hassle in the long term for me to keep growing at this pace. I'm too much of a stickler for customer service and quality to have to deal with that crap on a daily basis.

So, once I get caught up on my current orders I will decide how I want to proceed into the future. I may just build as I deem fit and once it sells I'll build more or take orders on a limited custom basis.

I just want my clients to be given the utmost customer service and quality from me.

Thanks,

Jason
