Re: Scout II Parts? (fwd)

[Tom Mandera <tsm1@domain.elided>]

I hit the 4WPW web site today (banner link from Jim Weed's site), and 
while some people have had less than pleasing interractions with 4WPW, 
mine have (thus far) been good..

So I felt it my duty to drop an email to them when I discovered no "Scout 
II" listing under their "Pick your vehicle" link (they had a link just 
for CJs, and another for Scramblers.. this was RE: wheel selection.. tell 
me how a CJ and a Scrambler are different w/ respect to wheels!.. heck, 
it's even called a CJ8 y'know..)

We care about Scouts.  It's that damn web programmer that doesn't.  We beat
him and beat him and beat him.  And he STILL refuses to list Scouts as an
option.

Only kidding ;-)

Actually we are still working on all the applications and product listings.
That's why if you look (and not very hard) there is a lot of product and
vehicle applications missing that we could and do have parts.

Right now our internal web guy has been redirected temporarily and until he
comes back the site is pretty much static.  So plllleeeaaassseee be patient.
He should be back at this in a couple of weeks.
