Let us know if you manage to get off the phone with Fred in under 45 minutes. That would be a new trailvoy best. If he didn't INSIST on telling you his LONG life story he could sell a lot more stuff. One OS member tried to deal with ONLY by email and Fred refused to sell to him!

Like Mike won't sell you a skid plate if he thinks you're just going to keep it polished and go to the mall.

I guess I hold the record then...hahaha...about 8 minutes the first call (he replied to my e-mail in less then 20 mins). Then when I hadn't sent my Paypal payment (about 15 mins later) he called back to make sure I wasn't having any problems & to tell me they were being made already & could be out the door today. I said dude, you have to let me talk with the hubby again before I send you a small fortune! Fred seems like a fabulous guy!!! I am sure he has some interesting stories! OHHH myyy Freg again, reassuring the husband that it is worth the small fortune...hehehe..YES!!!! So those are ordered & paid for! I am so excited!

Edited smartass... :excited:

Don't forget, for those of us who are much less-endowed financially, an affordable alternative is present in the 1.3" spacers from eBay seller wheeladapters. I've had them installed for a month or so, including some wheeling, and no problems here... very solid product. Only adaptation necessary is to grind down the rear wheel studs a little bit to prevent them from sticking past the spacer and preventing proper wheel seating. Also, make sure that you use loc-tite on all the wheel studs to discourage loosening, and to retorque the wheel spacers a few weeks after installation. Do that and you'll be golden. Pricing is $149 for a set of 4, and mine are from 6x5 to 6x5.

I am trying to be patient awaiting the UPS mans arrival, or UPS lady. Although she is quite masculine. I want my adapters! :excited:
