Our Customer's Testimonials |
|
Everyone wants to be assured when they buy that they aren't going to be ripped off by some fly-by-night company who is in business to pad their own pockets, customers be damned. I'm putting together a collection of testimonials from past customers who have been treated fairly and will make future purchases from me. But, to keep it fair, I've also asked anyone who has had any negative experiences with me to please e-mail me so that I can post up their side of the story also to help keep me on my toes. I challenge other companies in the industry to take this risk as well since we, as customers, would all benefit from more of a commitment to doing business ethically.
~Paul in North Dakota~
This email is probably long overdue, but I just wanted to get some driving in on the new set-up that you helped me with. I would like to say THANKS for all your help and advice. Since I have installed the sway bars and the 2.5” lift using the springs and the MX adjustable shocks along with the improved track bar. That Jeep couldn’t be anymore stable. I can’t believe the handling performance and just how much it really increased. I can take a normal residential street corner 90 deg turn at 30 mph and it corners like a slot car. There is absolutely no sway to it anymore. Up here in North Dakota we get quite a bit of wind on a normal basis and I do a lot of highway driving, I have noticed that when driving now you feel the whole truck being pushed sideways versus feeling the body roll over the top before being pushed. Since the lift and upgrades I have installed a Superchips tuner also for the 4.7l V8. What a combination, now I have extreme increase in stability and power to go with it.
I highly recommend anyone out there to save there money, listen to Kevin and go for the proper set up when lifting there rigs, you can’t go wrong! THANKS KEVIN!! and please pass on my thanks to your whole team there for the great email contact and shipping information, couldn’t ask for much more from a business. Your loyal customer, Paul Remillong
P.S. I attached some pics of my Jeep so you can see what you helped build. The ones with the silver rims are of it in stock mode with 29” tires. The black rims are with the 31” Bridgestone Duelers A/T.
I hope you don’t mind that if I have anymore questions I will definitely contact you first and see if you can help me with any parts before I go anywhere else. OH - one other thing is that there is absolutely no death wobble at all that I have noticed so far! WOOHOO! just one less thing to worry about. Dec 30, 2006
~Cliff in NY~ Praise to Kevin, for his help with my front Track Bar Conversion purchase. After I put myself in the position of being in the middle of a lift install and not having the correct parts, Kevin came through at probably one of his busiest times, with service that is just wonderful. Days before his European Vacation, ( they should make a movie) I purchased the Track Bar and had it shipped next day air, but unfortunately it came damaged, not thru any fault of Kevin. After speaking with him, he sent me another. Overnight. I cannot put into words how frustrated I was with the way that week was going, mainly due to my own stupidity during the lift install on my ZJ. Kevin made things all better, made me feel good. Kevin's help and service was simply the best. I don't know what else I can say about him and also do not forget the truly wonderful Cassie. Cassie, you're amazing, thank for your help. Now I know there is a strong woman behind every man! And the rest of the gang, thanks to you all. Kevin's Offroad is the best place for parts and customer service. (8/22/06) ~Greg in CO~ A word about the change from the factory bar and bracket to yours – WOW!!! The steering feels almost as tight and accurate as my buddy’s Boxster! And the constant clunking, shaking, and imminent death-wobble that plagued nearly every minute of travel, gone! There is a HUGE difference; the truck feels better than new! In all my years of playing with cars, I don’t think I’ve installed anything that’s made as significant a difference as your track bar conversion! Definitely money well spent. As always, I will continue to shout your name and website from the rooftops to every Jeep person I find! ==========================================~Jeremy in KS~ Original text posted here: http://www.kcjeepclub.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19466#19466
I just wanted to let everyone know about the
excellent service I received from Kevin's Offroad, based in
Arizona. About 2 months ago, I added a 2.5" lift kit to my
WJ. The kit included spacer pucks and RE Monotube shocks.
The spacers came from Kevin's shop and the shocks were sent
directly from RE. Long story short, I received the wrong
front shocks. Kevin was more than accommodating in trying to
find solutions to my problem. Unfortunately, I had to find
replacement shocks the week of the camp out, and RE fell
through on sending them in time. I ended up buying
replacement front shocks locally (thanks, Bob - I love the
OMEs) to get me through the weekend. Not only did Kevin
allow me to return the incorrect front shocks almost 6 weeks
after I received them, he also allowed me to return the rear
shocks without question, and applied the return amount for
both sets to my next purchase. ========================================== ~Michael in PA~ Kevin, I just want to
say thank you after last weekend. Your Sliderz did their
job, several times over. I counted at least three separate
times that your great product kept my doors straight and
paint intact. May have been more than that, but it was
hard to tell for sure which hard parts were hitting rock
sometimes. I have included a picture of a shale bank being
held at bay. It did look hungry for Jeep that day.
Also, that track bar conversion is outstanding. Flexes
like a gymnast, and no death wobble, even with the sway
disconnected at 60mph. I would NEVER have considered doing
that without it.
You are always my first stop when it is time for new
goodies for my ZJ. Thanks for making such great products
and offering everything you carry at such good prices. Not
inexpensive, but nothing worthwhile is. You get what you
pay for, and with Kevin's Offroad, you are paying for the
best. Thanks for continuing to
produce and offer the best equipment for the Grands. It is
nice having a vendor that I can order from with the same
confidence as walking into the parts store on the corner. 9/28/04
========================================== ~Erik Glaser~
"Hey Kevin, I bought your 3.5 inch ZJ
lift from you last November. I just wanted to say that its
working out great. I plan on buying some more of your stuff
in the future. Here are
SOME PICTURES if you want
to see how it turned out. Thanks for the great
service." - Erik Glaser -
========================================== ~Jeremy Bradshaw, Ohio~ I purchased your RockSliderz in February 2005 and got them installed as soon as I got them. Just wanted to let you guys know that I ran the Badlands for Winterfest with NAXJA (I'm a member) and some trails here in Ohio with the "Ohio 4x4 Trailriders" (also a member of) since I installed the RockSliderz. These things have held up great! To rock, trees, and the ground! I will be doing more business with you all again in the near future, need some more protection for my XJ. I have suggested your products, and commented on your awesome customer service to various websites. Just wanted to let you know :), keep up the good work fellas. Anyway, thank you for a great product and I look forward to doing business with you all very soon again. Thanks, Jeremy Bradshaw 4/13/05 ==========================================
~Luke Burbank, Utah~
Hi, I just wanted to email you about how satisfied I am in
the purchase of the Skid/Tranny member that I Anyway, I just took it to Moab for a trip up poison
spider mesa, and the gold bar rim, and on down to bull
canyon. I tried as hard as I could to scratch that
crossmember up, but some how tru it all, I could only
scrape up my hitch (time to get your rear bumper!). Thanks
again. Luke Burbank 3/30/05

~Adam Fredell, Michigan~
I've referred a few fellow jeepers already as your
products and services are excellent, keep up the good work
Kev! 03/11/05
========================================== ~Bradley Lohman~ Thanks Kevin for the reply. BTW you are always so polite and thankful in your emails it is truely a honor to support you and your company. 03/08/05 ==========================================
~Michael Abbate~
"Your customer service is by far the greatest customer
service I have experienced anywhere. And that's not just
with Jeep parts, that's every item that I have ever bought
in my life. Normally I wouldn't have even thought of sending
an e-mail to a vendor asking about advice on shipping an
item of yours that I was reselling because I sold my Jeep,
but with you, I wasn't worried about anything because I knew
that you would get back to me the same way you got back to
me when I was buying them. So, again, Thanks So Much!
I read on your site that you are expanding again.
Congratulations. With your service and support, it isn't
hard to see where your company has come from and where it
will be going in the future...UP!" Sincerely, Michael Abbate, A very satisified customer

~Lev Iov~
Kevin, its Lev, I'm not sure you remember doing business
with me because I know how busy you are but everything has
been great with the Jeep. I just wanted to tell you how
great of an experience i have had with your store and
service. Keep up the great work. -Lev- PS: If you want to see what the jeep has turned out like
you can see it at ========================================== ~Grant in CA~
Kevin, Thanks for the Sliderz.
I picked up a set a couple of months ago and couldn't be
happier. They've withstood some serious abuse and have been
able to support my entire XJ while up on rocks. They
served their purpose on the first run with my newly lifted
XJ while riding with larger and locked TJ's and YJ's,
getting me through technical obstacles without body damage.
You should really raise the price; they are that good! Grant Curtis, Orange County, CA 2/2/05

~Tim in MI~
==========================================
~Lucas Phan~ Kevin and Mike, I would like to
thank both of you for making such a great product. I
installed the radiator support today and it fit right there
without any trimming at all and it only took me 40 minutes
to do it by myself. I would say it worth the wait. I also
amazed with the strength of that rad support, I lifted the
front of the jeep by using a small bottle jack and it hold
the weight of the jeep just fine (no dent or flex). I
definitely will buy your product again (looking forward to
purchase your rock rails but only after I have enough money
to fix my transmission
Now I have more confident to recommend your products to
my friends because I have seen the quality of your product.
Once again, thank you for such a great product. 9/20/04
========================================== ~Mick Harvey, Virginia Beach~ Two things Kevin: One, not sure if you are aware how popular your name is on the trail and how your name has become a saying on the trail. I have introduced it into my "trail vocab" after installing your Rock Sliderz along with, OOOOo this is going to hurt, and AAAAAAAAa sh*t...
You
would be happy to hear through out the woods at GSE you here
"THANKS KEVIN" right after a big "CLUNK" when the tire comes
off a rock and slams into your Sliderz and we push through
it and all is well, no damage. I know I feel a lot more
confident on the trails.
So, I
want to say thanks to you, in saving my sanity and my truck
from lots of damage in June and since then. Thanks again,
what a difference. Those suckers can take a beating and all
it requires is a little sprit from a can of spray paint from
the dollar store. WHAT A DEAL... 9/01/04
========================================== ~David Stockslager~ I put on your adjustable track bar a couple weeks ago and it's great. Really awesome product!! Thanks for all your help, and Mike's too, your level of customer service is a rare commodity these days, and is greatly appreciated. A very happy customer, -Dave ========================================== ~Will Dickens~ Hey Kevin, your products are awesome. You may find this odd, but I don't even own a Jeep. My best friend has a '93 ZJ and I've helped to put many of your products on it, and would like to say that they are the best-manufactured products I have come across. I myself drive a '94 Toyota Pickup and have yet to come across a manufacturer with as well-built and easy to install products for my rig. Keep up the awesome work for all of those Jeep guys and maybe one day I'll get a ZJ so I can have that LA kit. ========================================== ~Swamp Boy~ Kevin. I bought my sliders about a year ago and I am super happy. I couldn't be more pleased. I have used them to support my entire rig while I was doing my axle swap and I regularly use them for my high lift. This is without a doubt my best purchase to date.. Thanks for supplying such a great product... I have enclosed some pics of my rig as well.. Hope to make it to one of the Grand Slams soon...And get to meet some of the people I talk to on NAGCA so often. Keep up the good work.. Carl ========================================== ~Richard Gorr~ Kevin, I've just returned from the Black Hills of South Dakota and a weekend of wheeling with my local club, Twin City Offroad. I have to tell you that your Sliderz have proven them selves again!!!!! SSG Richard Gorr, US Army, Minnesota ==========================================
~Rob Baker~ ========================================== ~Mark McClure~ I just put on the XJ track bar and bracket to get rid of a
bad case of death wobble. What a well engineered product, Jeep
should have built them that way in the first place. Since they
didn't, I'm glad Kevin did. I was initially worried about
finding a good track bar for a XJ with no lift, but Kevin said
it would work and it did. My wife even noticed the tighter
steering the first time she drove it after I put it on. Way to
go Kevin, keep up the good work. ========================================== ~Mark Kennedy~ 93 ZJ - love your sliders - keep up the good work... Mark
Kennedy (Crosscut) , Kokomo Indiana ========================================== ~John Lumpkin~ Hey Kevin, I got the radiator support/tow
shackle kit today, and it looks awesome!! That was very quick
shipping, and a very fair price!! I am installing it tommorow,
and I proudly put the sticker on the jeep! I believe that all
of my jeep accessories are going to come from your website from
now on, and I am going to spread the word about it. Very very
very awesome job with everything. The personal "thank you john
for your order" with you signed just showed how you really care
about the fellow jeepers out there. Thanks a lot man!!! ========================================== ~Dwayne Williams~ Kevin, just wanted to say "thanks" for putting together a great package. I've had the headers/cat/muffler/exhaust package installed for a couple of months now and I can definitely feel an increase in power. Oddly enough, my gas mileage has gone up by about 5% too which was an unexpected bonus. The exhaust note is a little loud during aggressive acceleration, but has a nice throaty rumble at idle and cruising that I like. Jeep starts faster and smoother now too. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a little performance increase. Thanks again, Dwayne ========================================== ~Dave Letcher~ After buying a track bar from another company, which banged into my pumpkin during use, I came across your website. Ii purchased a Track Bar Conversion, both bar and bracket. It's a work of art. I will check your company first before looking elsewhere for something I need. I use my Cherokee for pre-running so I need good parts. Thanks again, Dave ========================================== ~Robert Stinson~ Kevin, Thank you for a great purchasing experience! I appreciate your guidance and expertise. I have a 98 ZJ 5.2 and recently had to replace the engine and I needed a few things from you. I had read on the Jeep Forum about Kolak Headers. I had never heard of Kolak and following your advice and that of others on the Forum decided to give it a try. I was able to order the Kolak Headers through you and you got my Mopar performance computer, a Hi-Flow Carsound converter, a Hi-Flow Flowmaster 70 series 3” muffler, and an ignition upgrade package from KevinsOffroad.com as well. The Headers are chrome and make the engine perform great if I had stopped there it would have been worth every penny. The ignition upgrade package that I got from you should be featured on your site. The spark plug wires, coil wire, the plugs, and other parts that are included work extremely well together. The Jeep already had K&N intake mods so the result…The result is nothing less than amazing. The power band extends well into the upper range now and I can always hear and feel a real difference with the exhaust. There is a low end torque increase that can be felt. The performance computer seems to be learning the new set up and gains in power daily as the new mods settle in. The Grand Cherokee has a mellow sound to it. There is nothing in town that sounds like my Jeep. Thank you for your help! P.S. In addition to the above the OME steering stabilizer that you feature is a must. Thanks for great service and products. ========================================== ~Tony Howe~ I'd like to compliment you on the quality and pricing of your accessories. I have recently purchased a set of your Rock Sliderz and I am extremely pleased with the quality, style and overall bad ass protection it gives my jeep. Since I have installed the Sliderz there have been multiple people who have asked where I got them, as they too are looking for rocker protection. I told them that I searched for a many weeks looking at different styles, sizes, pros and cons of each and finally decided on Kevin's Sliderz. I told them that I wanted high quality, good prices, (sorry, excellent prices), strong as hell and would able to take some abuse. I then told them of the price and they couldn't believe it. I also explained that they are quite a bit stronger than most rocker panel protection and I have no worries about taking a hit for the team on them. ========================================== ~Rafe Smith~ Kevin, a few months back while wheeling @ Tellico along w/ some fellow ZJ's I severely smashed/dented my MOPAR Nerf bars with a bolder that jumped out at me. ;) Knowing that I am as much into aesthetics as I am robustness, I had a journey on my hands. I had previously seen the square rails but they didn't really strike me and then someone suggested that I take a look at your newer round Rock Sliderz. Much to my happiness...they were exactly what I had imagined wanting. AND, that last trip to Tellico I was also loaded to the rim w/ camping gear so the roof rack was looking pretty appetizing as well. At the time, you were going through the whole moving process and so I had to wait a day or two longer than normal. When I told you that I really needed the stuff by that weekend because I was entering a 4x4/Truck show, you produced and delivered with GODS SPEED and I was able to easily install both the Roof Rack and Sliderz the evening before. Net result, I won the BEST SUV in SHOW trophy because your products truly are awesome looking. BUT, even more importantly...they work and as long as I keep a spare can of spray paint around for the next show I'm sure they'll bring next years trophy home as well ;). Kevin, thank you soooo much for creating top notch products and for providing the best customer experience of anyone I've dealt with while building my rig! Sincerely, Rafe from Atlanta PS: I think your newest sticker/logo has "Rubicon tested & MOAB approved"...you need to add Tellico on there somewhere as it's the toughest place on the East coast and your products made it look easy!!! :) ========================================== ~Eric Kohl~ Kevin, received the bar in on Tuesday. After fighting the lower trackbar bolt for two hours decided to go and buy a sawzall to make the removal easier (turns out the bolt was rusted to the metal bushing). Then took another hour installing yours. As expected, had to cut off about 1/2" of the bar due to only having a 4" lift. My only concern after install was the axle hitting the upper bracket when flexing, but put it up on the loading dock yesterday and it never came close to hitting (had faith in your design, just have to check some things out for myself, especially before I got out on the trail). I wish you had the bar back in Sept when I bought my lift pieces, it would have saved me all of the rattles of the Heim joint. I am so pleased that I will definitely be passing along recommendations. Thanks for a great product and superb customer support.
========================================== ~Brian Auten~ Kevin, I bought your radiator support and tow shackles about 2 months ago and love it. I was kind of leery at first about trimming my bumper , but I took my time and I really like the look the front of my ZJ has now. I am also saving a little money on the side for a set of your rock sliders. I have enclosed a few pics of me wheeling and putting the new trimmed bumper to use. I haven't had to use the tow shackles yet. Thanks for the great product and I will be doing business with you again soon. Thank You, Brian Auten, Beaufort, South Carolina P.S. I am even sporting one of your stickers too! ========================================== ~Kelly Erickson~
Kevin, Thanks for doing what you've done.
I've been in the whole "ZJ" thing about three years now, and I
have to say, everything has came along way. When I bought
my '94 ZJ, I knew what I wanted before I even signed the title
over. Since I didn't make much money, I had to save up for
everything. I bought a used front bumper from Corey and
Cristi Bauer, and they sold me Cristi's old, beat up
sliderz (one of your first set you ever made). Cristi had
actually broke them (she can break anything, hell, she rolled
her Jeep :), and Corey welded them back together. I threw
them on my Jeep almost two years ago, and they've been
thru hell and back. They have dents in them the size of
softballs, the mounts are all tweaked, I've ever started
to loosen the bolts going into the "frame", but the
sliderz are still tough as nails, and with a fresh coat of
rattle can black, they look better then the rest of the
Jeep. ========================================== ~John Anderson~ I got it installed this weekend (June '03), and I am VERY impressed. I can't believe how much tighter the steering is and the rig just feels so much more stable. I had really bad wandering, and it is almost completely gone! Not to mention, no DW since the install. Only time will tell, but I think I have it licked. You have another "Lifelong Customer"!! ========================================== ~Carl B.~
I got my rock rails about a month ago (May
'03). They
are awesome. They were shipped promptly and arrived on
schedule.. I can not get over how easy they were to
install and how strong they are.. There are no rocks here in
Louisiana but there is lots of deep mud.. I use my Hi-Lift on
the Sliderz all the time.. I have lifted my ZJ right out of the
mud by the Sliderz.. I am very happy with them. and I tell all
of my friends.. ========================================== ~John Caspari~ Kevin, Everything arrived yesterday (about 1 week from order). All of the components look like they are top quality. The items were well packed and are ready to go. I give my shopping experience an A+ and would order from you again. Thanks, John C ========================================== ~Rob Walton~
Dear Kevin, I bought my ZJ new 5 years ago
and since have bought and installed a plethora of aftermarket
products. Some parts worked, some parts didn't. Some fit, some
didn't. Some you keep, some you throw in the trash. I can't tell
you that your track bar conversion was the first aftermarket
track bar I've purchased. I can tell you without a doubt that as
long as I own this Jeep I'll never replace it again.
Installation was a breeze. The simple yet superbly functional
redesign is outstanding. My Grand hasn't driven like this since
it was stock. I truly believe you get what you pay for and by no
means was this bar inexpensive. But, it is worth every penny to
end up with a lifted Grand Cherokee that drives and handles the
way it does now. I am truly a satisfied customer and I can't
wait to purchase your incredible looking roof rack in the very
near future. ========================================== ~Steve Zimmerman~ BTW, I love the Track Bar Conversion that I bought from you last fall. It's solid as a rock and really provides a lot of extra flex. For your testimonial page, I was one of the ones that had a problem with the mounting angle of the bracket on the conversion kit. I was extremely pleased with the customer service that you provided when I had the problem. You responded very promptly and made good on the problem right away. There was no question in my mind about ordering from you again when it came time to add some rocker protection. Thanks, Steve Zimmerman ========================================== ~Shawn Kayser~ Hi Kevin, After an early morning (before work) stuck, that resulted in a little dent in my rocker, I decided to get a set of rock rails that would not bend (like that damn plastic did) on my new WJ. I found Kevin's site and was impressed, so I ordered them. Drilling and marking the holes took a little longer than I thought, but they went on without any problems. Let me tell you, these rock rails have been used and abused over and over again here in the Black Hills of SD! The first time you hear granite scraping off the paint is quite a shock! I have dropped off of rocks harder than planned many times and laughed about it! These Rock Sliderz have greatly improved the off road capabilities of my WJ! Instead of a big rock turning me around, I simply drive the tire up, slide over the rock and off. Granted I have been over my head on a few trails which resulted in some front bumper scratches, skid plate terror, and control arm scratches. I couldn't have been there in the first place without the Sliderz. People have had their doubts on the trail that a stock WJ would not make it; but I have proven them wrong with the help of the Rock Sliderz and 245/75/16 Cooper ST's. It's not a Rubicon, but it'll work for me! Shawn Kayser
========================================== ~Ken Dobyns~ Hi Kevin, I recently installed a pair of your Sliderz on my '00 Grand Cherokee. We tagged along on an off-road excursion with a local 4WD club today (Feb 8, 2003). Since we were in the newbie group, we didn't expect very serious stuff, but we ended up taking a "wrong turn" which put us on a long downhill boulder-strewn road. The Sliderz saved our rig! We just motored over the boulders, listened to the paint scraping off the Sliderz, and motored on. At first, the sound was awful. After a while, once we realized it was the sound of the Sliderz doing their job, we found the whole experience very comforting. Thanks again for the Sliderz. I just thought you might want to hear about their successful initiation. Ken Dobyns Portland, OR ========================================== ~Mark DuPont~ As a Jeep enthusiast for many years (read 25) it was time to upgrade to a longer wheelbase for comfort and ease of carrying the little people, especially on those long treks. The Jeep Grand Cherokee was the ticket. After dumping a gazillion bucks into the motor, suspension & armor the rockers were the next logical items to protect. Kevin's Jeep Parts offers rocker panel protection built to last and priced right. I've had them on for some time now and they've done a great job fending off ledge and boulders New England is known for. Get real creative on trail and they work VERY well as pivot points to compensate for the longer wheelbase! I never leave home without them! ... and by the way, that Kevin dude ain't half bad either! I would like to add that I've had several occasions to have a personal chat with the man himself... his commitment to the customer is as solid as the product he builds. I wouldn't hesitate to make another purchase. In my opinion, Kevin belongs to that small cadre' of committed businessmen (like Nick of Kolak/Multitronics fame and Dirk of DPG Off-road) who insists on treating the customer right before and after the sale. Mark Dupont, Boston Mass. ========================================== ~Tom St.Clair~ Hey Kevin, its me, Tom from Va. Don't know if you remember, but I was one of the first to go ahead with your new "round" version of Sliderz. And as such there was a kink with the new bars where they required a slight adjustment prior to installation. You were very "upfront" and quick to assume responsibility for the oversight and ultimately reimbursed me for my "out of pocket" expenses, no if, ands or buts. The way you handled my customer service issue is truly unique in this day and time and I plan on being a loyal customer for many years to come.
Tom ========================================== ~Ken Williams~ I was apparently the second buyer in the introduction of Kevin's rear bumper for the ZJ. Not only did I receive a great price for a superior quality product that obviously has a great amount of time invested in it, but I also received outstanding customer service. Kevin kept me informed along every step of the way, and had the bumper ready to ship out much quicker than I had imagined would be possible. Additionally, he provided excellent install directions with the product and great support via email after the purchase had long been completed. This bumper has continued to perform time after time on the trail. It is without a doubt the strongest part of my Jeep. I will purchase from KJP again and again, and can vouch that if you do the same you will be more than pleased with the both the product and the service that is provided. Ken Williams, Wharfrat on NAGCA.com ========================================== ~J.D. Horne~ When I first bought my ’98 ZJ the first thing that I looked for (even before tires) was rocker protection. I was new to the Jeep scene at the time so I asked around for advice on some good rocker skids. 9/10 of the responses that I got pointed to Kevin Fell and his “Kevin’s Rock Sliderz”. At the time, Kevin had just started up his “little” slider business and had only sent out a few orders of his Sliderz so I only had a few pictures to help make my decision. After looking at a few brands of sliders on the market, I thought Kevin’s LP-1’s were THE best… period. They also cost about $100 less than the others did. I promptly sent him my payment and within about 7 days I had two pieces of heavy steel sitting on my doorstep. Installation is a snap. Cheap spray paint, a floor jack, drill, and sockets are all that you need. There is really no need in spending too much on spray paint because after all, they are rock sliders! A few scratches here and there are easily fixed with a spray or two of Krylon spray paint. I have since sold my first set of Sliderz to a fellow Jeeper in order to try out his new set of round tube Sliderz. Aside from the difference in appearance, they’re still the same old thing… well crafted, heavy duty rocker protection. Fast forward almost two years and “Kevin’s” is now the guy to go to for a lot more than just rockers. His roof rack, for one, is an incredible piece of work. This is no squared off aluminum job, this is the real thing; a streamlined heavy-duty roof rack which accommodates lights, a sunroof, and even up to a 37” spare tire with gobs of room to spare. If weight is an issue, the rack only weighs 59lbs. Compare that with other steel racks and it’s only a couple of pounds more. A small price to pay when your aluminum rack will just get dented and ripped off by that low limb! Finally yet importantly, customer support! When I sold my last set of Sliderz, I forgot to send the bolts with them. I called Kevin asking to order some to mail to the buyer. When I asked how much, he replied, “don’t worry about it.” …and they say customer service is an ancient declaration! ========================================== ~Jeff Gulley~ I purchased my sliders for my 98 GC 5.9'er after reading about other folks having good experiences with them. I love them. You were knowledgeable about your product, knew what modifications I would have to make to the Jeep to get them on (removing the niner cladding), and the parts were as advertised- fairly easy to install. I've had them on almost a year and they have saved me more than once. Not to mention it makes it a whole lot easier to rotate tires! Can't tell you how many comments I've gotten on them. And it's always fun to count scrapes where some yahoo has parked too close to me in a lot and decided to dent their door on my skids. Thanks for making a great product! ========================================== ~Chuck Bremer~ I bought Kevin's Sliders for my XJ on the recommendation of a mutual friend. I was getting ready to go on a run where rocker protection was not only recommended, but nearly mandatory. With only a good word from our friend, Kevin sent me a set of the newer design Sliderz for my XJ and I was able to get them mounted up before the run. I ordered on a Monday, and had the Sliderz delivered & mounted on Thursday. I paid Kevin the following Monday :) On the run, they performed (and are still performing) superbly. Never more than a slight scuff or scrape, and out here in So Cal, I get plenty of opportunities to drag them over and around rocks. I have come down hard on the Sliderz on several occasions, with no damage to the Jeep or the Sliderz. I have, and will continue to, recommend KevinsOffroad's Sliderz. As soon as there are more items available (particularly cargo racks and bumpers) for the XJ, I will consider them first, before looking at products from any other company. Thanks Kevin! ========================================== ~Eli Evans~ Hey Kevin, thanks for the chance to finally share my thoughts on your Sliderz. Since I installed the Sliderz I have had the pleasure of beating them through the boulders of the Rocky Mountains and sliding them across the sandstone of the desert. In every case, accidental and intentional, they have exceeded my expectations of what rocker protection should be. Literally they are the toughest thing on my Jeep and by far take the most beating. After purchasing the product I had sent an e-mail to Kevin, his response was within a day and I had found a new resource in ZJ 4-wheeling , a person not only willing to share other tech info but happy to help out another fellow Jeeper. I appreciate the product, the help, and look forward to the day I see you on the trail! Thanks again, Eli Evans ========================================== ~Dan Burgess~ You have heard of bulletproof - these are bombproof!!! Looks do not deceive here. Dan Burgess: Senior Manager, Education and Development Medical and Regulatory, Europe and Canada Pfizer Pharmaceuticals Group ========================================== ~Steve Wiggins~ My name is Steve Wiggins, and I recently purchased a set of the Rock Sliderz for my '91 Cherokee Sport. They are terrific! The install simple, they fit perfectly (once I figured out the left vs. right thing) and they look great. I coated mine with POR-15, semi-gloss black and put some non-skid on the top. The price was great for a truly great product, and although I did not actually meet Kevin in person, just through e-mail, he seemed to be an honest, straight forward Jeep enthusiast who was very helpful in getting me started in Jeeping. Keep up the good work Kevin! Sincerely, Steve Wiggins ========================================== ~Adam Welch~ I want to write a quick note on what an excellent product you have and your service is by far some of the best I have come across in a long time. I have tried to really thrash them and so far I have not been able to do anymore that scratch the paint. I also recommended to a friend that he get a pair of your Rock Sliderz for his XJ and he as I am very pleased with them! Very well built and good looking design. I will be ordering more of your products and will continue to preach to all Jeepers about your product! My girlfriend wishes you made Sliderz for her full size Jimmy but I told her she would have to settle for a set for her XJ. Thank you very much Kevin for an outstanding product. Adam R. Welch, Police Officer at Dept. of Public Safety, University of Maine at Farmington ========================================== ~Ed Wheeler~ I first heard of Kevin on the Jeeps Unlimited message board, and within a couple of days decided to order a set of his Rock Sliderz for my 1996 Grand Cherokee. Upon receiving them, I was very impressed with the simple yet strong design, the heavy duty materials, and the quality of the construction. I painted them with POR-15, and installed them in a couple of hours. The install went nearly without incident, except for a slight problem with the front brackets that was remedied with a die grinder. I notified Kevin, and he informed me that there was indeed a problem with my set. I am positive that he would have replaced them if I had asked, but as I was able to correct the problem easily enough, there was no harm done. I have since corresponded with Kevin several times regarding his roof rack and rear bumper. I intend on buying the roof rack when I have the funds available, as I feel it is the best rack I have seen on the market. I hope in the future his rear bumper is a bit more attractive, and not so hard core off road, but I respect his current bumper for what it is. I plan on doing business with Kevin whenever possible in the future. Thank you, Kevin, for all you do for the Jeep community! Edward S. Wheeler, Director of Manufacturing Engineering, Trenton Technology Inc. ========================================== ~Greg Spangler~ I bought a set of Kevin's Sliderz for my WJ to protect the rockers and to use as a step for my wife (who is 5'3"). What I found was that these Sliderz are HARD CORE protection for the Jeep. If you are a function AND form kind of person, these Sliderz are just right for you. They are really strong, and I have no doubt that I can go bounce my Jeep off of rocks 7 days a week, if I want to, without any damage to the rocke |
