SO I'm looking for a Rusty's Vendor. I am planning on buying a few diff items and am trying to see if you can help with a discount when im ready

 

Stay away from anything Rusty's. Do lots of research before buying.

 

whats wrong with rusty's??

 

Yea I hear good things imnot buyin a lift maybe there 1 ton wheel to wheel steering upgrade. Trackbar random misc things

 

rustys is what all my buddies use and they have never had problems. we beat the snot out of our rigs too.

 

Stay away, especially from that stuff.

This is just one example of MANY Rusty's issues, including VERY poor customer service.

Here is the other post discussing this stuff...

Rusty's sucks... period.

 

NEVER had an issue with them. Always heard wonderful things. My lift and steering components are Rusty's and I am VERY happy.

 

Steering and trackbars are the things you definitely want good quality of...I'm not necessarily bashings Rusty's as I dont have first hand experience but I have heard many Cons about their stuff along with some Pros.

Here's a peek at a failed Rusty's trackbar.... watch at 2:55

 

Every company is going to have failed parts, even the best.
I don't want to argue I just don't want people thinking all of Rusty's parts are crap, when they are not

 

I would stay away from anything Rusty's steering wise, and trackbar.

 

I have some rustys stuff, and some of my buddies have rustys stuff. it all is fine. We are not gentle on our rigs, and it holds up fine.

I did a lot of research before i got my trackbar from them. There are some people who have had bad experiences and hate them. The vast majority of people who run their stuff dont have any problems.

The other running theme I found when looking at the different forums is that Rustys isnt necessarily the heaviest stuff on the market. Their cheaper options are geared more towards the mildly built rigs who wheel on the weekends.

The bigger hardcore rigs just need beefier, stronger stuff

 

good point

 

I would have to agree and disagree. Im not one to just go on the word of a buddy or peeps online. Do research and pick the best equipment/items that you can for what every your doing. Sometimes vendors gain a bad rap because a few people had a bad experiance and many people jump on the band wagon.

If your on the forum awhile you'll notice bad things said about most vendors. Do the research, ask the questions and then make a choice on whats best for you and your rig.

 

Cant argue with that

 

This sounds like the best way to summerize it. Rusty's is a volume dealer so they are goin to cater to the majority of Enthusiasts. Those looking to go big may want something stronger. The wrangler linked with the "failure" was running a Long Arm kit with 7" of lift and some big tires. Thats a pretty serious ride.
