Re: Dropped crossmember truck handling

You should have bought the Thorbecke Bros. front end.
They went out of the "C10 raised crossmember business" about a year after they copied the Dropmember.
Stopped production.
No warning.
Nate has also stepped up to help those guys out,... now that they have no where to get parts or tech support.

This thread has gone off the original topic of "bump steer issues",... that many Dropmember owners and builders replied to.
I see this thread closed,... very soon.

Glad your Dropmember sold quickly.

Re: Dropped crossmember truck handling

Since my "bending over backwards" comments has been referred to twice in this thread, all I'm going to say is Nate has done so for me. I won't go into details as I don't know if the same offers were extended to others, But Nate has done good by me.

Being that it started out as a bump steer issue and moved straight into this mess leads one to question the integrity of this man's motives. He stated that this is not "threading" PB but it sure seems that way. Why beat around the bush Bruce? If the bump steer wasn't the real issue and you were gonna sell the dropmember anyway... This should have been handled differently on your part! I hate that you had/have these issues but I back Nate and all the ppl that have had nothing but positive things to say!

It's funny that now it's my fault that Nate sent me an unusable front end and sent me raw materials to fix it. I guess he thought that they "machined" themselves and "fused" themselves together ;) At the end of the day He lost a sale of a complete front end to one of his customers by Him buying mine. He is getting a good part cuz it was "professionally" repaired. I'm happy cuz I'm getting a front end that I won't have to pay another to fix. So everybody should be happy now :metal:

This thread has digressed to a point that I don't feel it will serve a useful purpose to leave it open. bruce bruce certainly has the right to air his issues in a public forum, but I feel you approached this in a way that sent the many loyal customers of Porterbuilt in to a defensive mode.

I suggest that you contact Nate Porter directly and discuss this matter.
