as of right now, the banner is to show Appreciation to the companies that have donated to the 4x4 show thus far.  The guys at the tire shope are really cool though, talk to them and tell them your a WLB member, they will get you a good price.

I need you to go up there with me Neil.  I stopped in there today and talked to some old guy that recognized your fab work on my bumper, lol.  He told me to come back when the owner is in.  Had a few sets of 33's.... I am looking to get a set fairly cheap before Drummond because I barely have any tread on 2 of mine.

Research the best prices on the net.  Then print it out.  After that, go to the Discount Tire in Burton off of Court St. (across from the Home Depot) and ask for Darwin.  He is the General Manager there.  He will honor compeditors prices there.  PLUS, you can get the warranty from them, which is very affordable.  Darwin said as long as the tire isn't malisiciously vandalized, he will warranty it, that includes trail damage.  This is the best place I have found thus far.  Plus, if you drop my name, you might even get more $$ off as I have done a ton of business there and sent him alot of business.  The more business I send him, the better deals we can all get.

Just an F.Y.I. 2 Track Minds Offroad is currentlya sponsor (but hasn't been placed on the list yet) and is working on giving our club a 10% discount across the board.  That means labor too.  But only for the club members.

Neil, myself, and the owner Dave of 2 Track Minds Off-Road are working out the details.  I will announce it when it becomes official.

We can get everything you are talking about right now and then some.  If you need it we can probably get it.  We will price match once, but we will not haggle back and forth to get it lower and lower.  We need to keep it fair and still stay in business.

If anybody is currently looking for anything specific please PM me or call me at (810) 955-8000.  I will do my best to get an answer back to you with-in one business day.

Thanks,
Anthony

Sorry, I have still been around.  I have just been out on events or work when the meetings have been held.

I was just talking to Neil about that the other day when he was at the shop.  It looks like I may be able to attend the next meeting as it falls on the 5th.  And I will be at our Jeep show on the 21st. as well.

See ya' all soon.

Anthony

I know that I am partially deaf, but I could have sworn that I heard Neil say something yesterday about a 20% discount.  I'm not trying to be greedy, I just wanted to make sure I had my facts straight.  Is 2TM donating stuff for the show?
Title: Re: do we get discounts from any of those sponsers our the site?
Post by: GOT ROCKS on July 09, 2007, 06:26:48 PM
Yes 2TM donated stuff for the show and we are donating more the day of the show.

As for what Neil may or may not have said.  We are discussing the terms, and you all will soon know what they are.  So let's please be patient.

Thanks,
Anthony

Terms for what???   If it's for "the club"  shouldn't it be discussed with "the club"????

well not really terms Harley more like finding out what they can do for us and us for them. Just working on the idea with them. Once i know anything i will let everyone know, then we can go from there.

I guess this will have to be discussed in a meeting.  What they can do for us and us for them just doesn't sound right.  If a vendor wants to give club members a % off, then I think thats great of them and will speak highly of them to all, as long as the service is great.  I look forward to dealing with 2TM.  I hope that no vendor will expect a club to sole endorse a certain vendor and only that vendor though.  I for one will never vote for that.  I'm probably getting ahead of myself though.  I like the idea of having several different Jeep vendors within an hour or two from each other.  Competition is what keeps prices down and in theory, service good.

I will never devote myself to 1 certain place for any kind of business. We are just looking to see what they have to offer us is all right now. Nothing serious at the moment.

It seems that I mis spoke.  I apologize for anything that may have been mis leading.  I was planning on bringing this up in the next meeting as well as I also feel that this is a club decision.

Neil hit the nail on the head when he went to bat for my previous post.  It is just in the idea stages and I am trying to run it throught the proper channels.  I don't want to just throw it out there with out running it by Neil first.

Again I am sorry for any harm that I may have caused.  I am taking in everyones insight and this will be resolved soon.

Thanks for listening,
Anthony

RUn what by Neil?????  As stated in my other post  ?!?!?!?!

Neil is NOT WLB.  We are a club, not one person.  Screw it, I'm not typing a long story, I gotta go to work .......................

I think it's cool that 2TM is going to try to help out the members of a local club, much better than other companies who could care less if you put effort forth to save the sport.  Like Neil said, I am not going to say "Im only going to shop there" but I will deffently make them a first stop for alot of items if their price is competitive.   Thank you Got Rocks and 2TM and I look froward to seeing what you guys work out for us.

They just wanted to mention the idea of a discount and such and then i could bring it to the meeting with what was said. Don't think by any means that i ever make any kind of decision behind the backs of our members. I have always wanted the club involved in every aspect.

Harley if you would like to take the time to talk with them about it then bring it to the members then have at it. I have plenty of other things i can do.

If not then let me see what they have to say and i will bring it to the members. No reason to be busting our chops on this.

Nobodies busting anyone's chops.    If 2TM want's to give a discount to our club, then Anthony can bring it up at the next meeting.  I'll welcome any discount.  Let's just wait until this is addressed to everyone in the club at a meeting.  I don't want to bust out anyone.  I think Anthony is doing something good here.  Something more than anyother shop is volunteering right now.  Let's just drop this for awhile and see what happens.
