Just offering my .02 here.... snap a quick picture of one of the guys in the shop welding or grinding the unit as you guys make progress. All people are asking for is some sort of visual progress so they can get themselves amped up for the finished product. You don't have to post a sales picture, just something to keep everyone's interest.

Didn't you see the teaser pics for the new vette and viper? Lil anticipation is a great way to promote sales.

Leaving potential customers in the dark, not so much.

this is just my 2 cents - but i really think yall are loosing more customers than gaining - i dont want to be the hated know it all on the forum but i use to work in a fab shop that did lift kits for fourwheelers and side by sides, we also did cooler racks and roll cages and i know how some things take WAY WAY longer than excpected -BUT- we always took progresive photos to let customers know we wr still working on the project and just havnt got lazy. it also lets you stay intouch with the customer. it also creates feedback. there is no bad feedback - you should always be able to learn from your customer. if we wr making a cage or cooler rack or even a lift kit and customers wr not digging our design - that would give us a chance to change it or defend why we did something a certain way.

i personaly have mixed feelings about the light bar. the trails i ride around here are tight and have tree branches that will reach out and pop out a headlight or smack the winshield piller so this may offer some protection as well as offer a place to mount lights. i like the idea that yall are thinking outside the box. -and i dont know if this is a good or bad thing but it also reminds me of wrangler and cj light bars.

-in the end yall just need to take some more pics even if they are botched up and unfinished - i have a feeling yall have already lost cutomers who have purchased full roof racks or light mounts that bolt to the A-piller.

just my 2 cents

I just can't figure out why he made the thread if he wasn't ready to produce.

I wanted to order one for my prerunner XJ but without pictures, I really can't order one.

Also, maybe a response would be good and maybe with some pictures.

Honestly how much more effort is it to add pics to a post?

We are ready and capable to produce product. However the first 2 set ups didn't give us results in what we wanted (unless you like junk). Ill post pics in the morning of fail number 2. Fail number 1 was way to noisy and was scraped (and by noise I could hear it over my tires). So thinking out side the box has been a thorn to say the least. On the other hand the new design is better has not been built we put it on back burner for now (unless you want to see pics of templates). Placing a LED at that angle is nice but with out a defuser you get glair on windshield and hood (results we found from testing). We will keep on the table thank you all for your input good or bad. For now it will be option on are roof rack pics below of rack no light installed in pic. We also wanted to see if there was a real place for some thing like the light bar. Not every one wants a roof rack thank you every one
