I have to ring in on this one....
I have ordered from all three (TRF, Spit Bits and BPNW)in the last 10 years.
The part selection in the catalogs of all three is outstanding. I just wish
TRF would have what I need, what they show in their catalog, available when
I need it....
I understand that there are times when a backorder is necessary (60 days on
front bumper o-riders from Spit Bits) but I am confident when that part gets
to me (From Spit Bits or BPNW) it is the correct part and it's a good
Quality part...
my .02 worth....
