Default VR straps shipping

I read a while back about the VR straps that replace the tailgate cables, and a few weeks ago (on 4-25) I sent out my payment to them via Priority Mail. It's now been two weeks and I haven't heard anything from them, and theire email address doesn't work. I just get an undeliverable message back immeditely. How long have those of you who ordered them have to wait to recieve them?

Here's the site address

Cant you report fraud to the police or someone? If that mailing address is correct I think authourties can pursue it.

You sent payment to that address under the contact link?

Well I'll report it if I have to, but I know theres some people on the site with the straps, and I wanted to know if it took a while for them to recive the straps, or if anyone had a telephone number, as all thats on the site is a bad email address and a mail address.

I was going to paypal the money after sending in my waiver through the mail but, their email address doesn't work so I never did get the straps(didn't pay either). Try sending them a letter through the regular mail asking for a phone number to call or a call back(give your number in the letter). Either they are unaware of the email not working or they have stopped making the straps and haven't taken down the site.

I think I'll send out a letter tomorrow also. If they're not making them anymore then that site needs to be taken down. I'll keep everyone updated in this thread if they respond.

pics are up, the install was easy, the only potential issue is that the rivet that acts as a hinge hits the bed sides as you close the tailgate, this isn't a problem when the gate is closed, as the two bars being right next to each other don't allow side to side movement, I fixed the issue with them hitting while closing by using clear tape on the inner bedsides, its sort of visable in the pics, but you don't notice them in person with the gate closed

Nice, now you can sit on your tailgate with a few people throwing back a few cold ones and not worry that you'll all end up on the ground.....at least from the tailgate cables snapping.

Those are looking good, thanks for the update on the shipping stuff.
