Thanks. I know I'm being a little evasive. Really just wanting to give them sufficient chance to resolve and didn't want to unfairly bash at this stage on the specific issues/product item.

They are just down the road from me and so I always just pop in if I need anything. Always been very helpful and the parts I have obtained have been fine. They are however a small industrial unit with engineering capabilities and so use other companies for some parts supply and product finishing, they don't make it all as such. They are a small company, so would expect a few people doing a lot of work, so give them a little longer to sort things out.
No problem with them myself.

I had a problem with my Rocksliders when I first got them. I could not get them to sit level. The front was up against and touching the plastic sill cover, whilst the back had a good clearance. I took pictures and emailed Russ about the issue. He replied pretty quickly and asked for pictures of the actual mounts which I sent. Within a few days he responded saying I had been sent Gen3 front mounts instead of Gen 4.

I think at this time they were redoing the Gen3 Rockslider so the same Slider was used for both Gen3 & Gen4 and just the mounts are different.

Russ apologised and said he would send replacement front mounts as soon as they were back in stock, which he did.

I didn't post about it at the time as it was resolved pretty quickly and I was happy with the outcome.

Everyone can make mistakes, I judge a company/person on how they handle and correct the mistake.

I have nearly all the underbody protection from Jimnybits and are very happy with everything.
