My hysteer kit was very complete and easy (relative term) to install. I got my wheel spacers from Marlin Crawler, but I think they are the same part.

I will be ordering from them again.

Trailgear usually has some of the best prices around, and their stuff is of good quality. Many members of TTORA do not support Trail Gear anymore because of the video they posted with them starting a fire on the trail and driving through it. Plus, Trail Gear doesn't necessarily adhere to the "tread lightly" policy when wheeling. However, I personally did not find anything wrong with the video they posted on their site, and since this can be an expensive hobby, I tend to go with the company that has a quality product for the best price. Chris Geiger is the main man at Trail Gear. Also, their product engineers are quick to respond to questions via email as well. I personally haven't had any issues with Trail Gear, and would recommend them as a source for your off-road needs.

thanks tderose and hayes.

You need WabFab.org

Order Trail Gear Products from me and get it shipped from them and pay no CA taxes.

I have made a few orders with them, and always had good customer service and fast shipping. They did overcharge me 1 time, but fixed it quick and sent me a t-shirt with my refund.

If I do order from a dealer in the future it will be from the Wabbit (Wabfab)

Then he would have to pay more since you would have to mark it up to make a profit, correct?

NO, the manufacturer gives the dealer a discount, its called "wholesale". That way the dealer can make a buck and stay in biz. Usually, when you buy direct, you'll pay "list" price, protects the dealers.

I have placed 3 orders with Trail Gear...Nothing big yet, but the customer service, speed of shipping and quality of the products has been great.
Free shipping on stuff over $250 is a good deal...
Seems to be a lot of similarity to products offered by T-G, All-Pro and Marlin...

alright wabbit, i'm definitely going to get the spacers from you, but why are your sliders $60 more if they are the same product? i'm much more inclined to order from you and support a good fellow, but i'm also looking for the best deal. i don't mean to sound cheap, just wondering.

I ordered a clutch kit from them for my Uncle, they overnighted it for Saturday delivery, and less than 24 hours after ordering, it was at his door. All this, for less than what Marlins would have cost just for the clutch kit.

I was pretty impressed. I'll definitely go there again.

Never heard of them, perhaps I should give them a try

ya they're pretty big dude, i'm glad i'm hearing good things about them. i'd still like to hear back from wabbit though....

Hayes · 06-06-2007, 04:45 PM

Chances are that he made some modifications to their design or something.

JamesD · 06-06-2007, 05:23 PM

Does Trailgear make their own sliders? I hear they use import springs I was wondering if they did the same with the sliders.

James

JnJ · 06-06-2007, 05:25 PM

We bought sliders from Trail gear through Downey. The price was right, they shipped fast and the product seems to be of good quality.

I sell some Trail Gear sliders...and some others, just depends on what you want.

The TG ones I sell are TGs price...if they are more it is because they are DOM instead of HREW or longer or something...look again.
