I am sorry for the screw job everyone is getting here. One thing came to mind it won't get your money back but it could make Dan Root's life less comfortable. Ebay has a complaint feedback system of some sort. Each of you who are effected by this, send a brief but clear letter/email to them about the dishonest practices of this person. They will likely not close his store on their site, but they do keep a "file" of each sellers history. I would think after some of the Ebay purchasers get burned and complain the pattern would be clear and he'd be banned.

One thing Dan can not get around is that no matter where he looks to sell his products at least at this time they are Crossfire related. You all could make it a habit to routinely check via search engines for eyebrow or badges, find where he's gone and hound him. It would be a form of therapy for you. I was burned for $95 from a local association I was affiliated with. I figure they need to send me about 5 years of their mailings before I will tell them to remove my name. I won't get the money back but I also know they will be spending my $95 on postage without any chance of me doing business with them again.

After he was banned from this site the first time his llink in the Market Place went to a Flicker account. He was selling from there, which is against their rules, then that too was closed down. Con artists are predicable enough that you can use it against them. He needs a place to sell, find it and notify the hosting site about him. Also there will be a time sooner than later that he will have to give up on Crossfires, their out of production and at this rate pretty much any avid owner of one knows he's dishonest.

I'll be glad to post pic's and the procedures that I used when I'm done.

I'll leave the politics and other matters for you all to figure out.
What a political mess. I agree with you 100%. I looked at mine last night and it will require some spot putty for a few pin holes. Not bad. Fitting it to my CF about 2-4 hrs. The sad thing is..in terms of other fiberglass AM parts it looks pretty good. In terms of fit, well I'll find out. I do believe you should be very mechanically inclined or have experience installing something like these before. The price I have been quoted for painting in my State is $300.00. I don't intend on spending any more money to have a shop install these. I have spent enough already. Having said that, I look forward to your install and photo's.

I believe JR Industries needs to address our refunds and table the install/fit of the skirts they received. Check the unnecessary poll 12-to-2 in favor of a refund. WE have been more than patience with this process. Dont insult us further by making fools of us. I mentioned earlier that I have complete respect for JR Industries but lest they fall into the same category as the scammer Dan/Cliff. The customer is ALWAYS right. JR Industries.....settle and make good with your customers.

Jonny/Rudy, what was the language in the contract document? Is there any recourse with that?

If you want to pay the full $350/$360paypal (group buy price only) up front that is fine as well. I can shoot you a shipping quote ($60-$70) once these are ready to go out. THESE ARE FOR A DIRECT REPLACEMENT not an overlay. THEY will look just like the ones pictured in maymans photo.

As hard as this is for you (JRI) I agree. The purpose of the poll was to help you identify those willing to make them fit. The rest should get a speedy refund.

I'm new to this whole mess, I know for one Rudy and Johnny helped me with a problem with my car over the phone and I never even purchased anything.

This Dan guy is certainly a schmuck.

My question is, is this his website? Crossfire Emblems : Home

It has the sideskirts for sale, I just want to make sure, I don't want to buy from him.



I hope everything works out and this guy gets whats coming!!

Yep, that's it. I think that's what chaps my a** the worst about this whole deal. Those of us who have waited so long for these have not a damn thing and that SOB is already selling them on his site for less than we all paid..

One of the Marines is a fellow Crossfire owner.

It's called Factory direct pricing - or cutting out the middle man.

Why would you call him? Your business transaction was with the middle man. It's the middle man who's sitting on your parts.

Dan went behind us and cut us out of the equation with Extreme Dimensions. He was supposed to be the test fitter. Nothing more, nothing less. As a result of the actions he took and how he is currently handling the situation, we are now pursuing legal action.
