If it's lived in Rocky Point this whole time it is probably a rusty disaster.

No way. It was bought by a high end Contractor who knows it’s stolen. That thing is stored in a garage, if not a climate controlled one.

Same behavior as those that buy stolen Art, since that’s what that car was.

Ron Pratte has the ‘57 Chevy car, dude in Mexico has the Flame car. I’m sure he smiles every time he looks at it.

Maybe. My ex's parents had a place in RP. EVERYTHING gets rusty there, even inside.

@NIKAL this forum has a very high dislike for Justin. In business you can't make everyone happy.

I know I’ve been around along time. I also know what a crook Potter is too.

Personally I’m not a ST fan and feel there are better shocking tuners out there. But they found a nitch for the UTV masses and it works.

Same with Upfit UTV, and Geiser. Both have a specialty and it’s working for them.
 
Like, Dislike, Love, Hate and everything in-between.

We are Men here on GD, we can discuss it all accordingly.

Interesting topic to see it go back to the people who sold it to Fox originally.... wonder what the real story/deal made is.

Who knows. But I’m friends with the owner that supplied a majority of the cardboard packaging and custom crates inserts for Fox. I just stopped by this morning to pick up some stuff and found out that a majority of Fox is moving from El Cajon Ca to their Georgia location. I assume the race stuff will stay in Ca, but it sounded like most production and OEM stuff was moving to Georgia, so my friend is loosing a big portion of that business. So it sounds like Fox could be doing some restructuring and maybe eliminating some of the other brands they own is all part of that?

Great story, I walk into my friends packaging company office one evening as he also stored his toys at the same building/warehouse. On a special design table for making custom sample boxes or inserts I see a foam cut out of a shock. But at the top cap reservoir bridge I see an extra square shape that looks to be for electronics. Knowing he made all the inserts for the plastic crates that get shipped from Fox to Ford with Raptor shocks. I said, oh wow are they are adding smart shocks to the Raptor? He about shit his paints and was like, You did not see this! How the hell can you tell what that is by looking at a foam cutout insert? He was under a NDA with Fox & Ford to not share or disclose any information on the future Raptor or anything he did for them. And here I come walking in and spot it and say, “Cool! The Raptors getting smart shocks?” He asked me not to say anything and he contemplated letting Fox know I accidentally saw it and have them send me a NDA, but he never did and I never said anything until it was released.

They are probably following Yamaha's lead.

I worked at Western CNC for a year or so... they make the Anodized caps for the Raptor Fox shocks. Not sure if that will continue with the move but the Ashcrafts are pretty close with Jerry from Fox. That's a hefty portion of their business.
 
So are we taking bets on the over/ under on how long before Justin takes it all down or ends up on the side of a milk carton
 
Many on this board were friends with Wayne(o) and Karen (?). I had not met them though. Reading the story of their car "getting stolen" along with the mountain of parts other peeps had hurt my soul, and made me sick.

This compounded a short time later (easter weekend IIRC) when I was sitting at Mr. Fishtaco in RP having lunch with my Family and watch this car pull up to JJs.. I knew 100% what it was. Walked over to the driver to gather as much info as I could. He didn't give up much though. Immediately called a fellow board member as he was the only one I knew that could connect dots. Unfortunately, nothing came of it.

Fuck Justin and everything he touches.

It needs to be spread far and wide about this shit bag. #shocktherapyusa People with a bit of influence like @NIKAL need to shame him and his business's names into the disgrace they are..

Before anyone asks....no, I don't have pics. How long ago was this? Nearly 20 years. Phones didn't typically have cameras.

Shit, the 5 minute "international" cell call phone call cost me $71..

Aside from all the other claims, I should throw that in the hat....
