Is "12VoltGuy" outta business?

Its gonna be interesting to see if either lasts out the year, both domains expire this year. We'll see if they get renewed.

We won't have to wait too long. .com shows to expire on August 4, .net on October 8.

Long term commitment, paid in advance usually saves money. It is interesting (but perhaps meaningless) that his .com domain was registered differently from his .net domain. Hope everything is good with him, but if not, I would have loved to inherit that business and upgraded the website & gotten ahead of the customer service. He had good stuff.

Yep and laser engraver would make a good upgrade to the old engraving machine....
 
eBay winch control plate came today. Overall looks great! The aluminum is anodized and cut very precise. Perfect fit for the 03-06 TJ's. The buttons came prewired with very clear instructions too.

Overall GREAT alternative.

We have been supplying a upgraded product the last few years.

12VoltGuy is no longer around

This looks very similar to the 12voltguy product - well done! I'd suggest labels for IN/OUT buttons though.
 
I can never give my business to someone who took orders and then never communicated or delivered, causing me to get my money back through the payment provider. Once a shyster, always a shyster, as far as I’m concerned!
 
I honestly assumed he was dead. I feel like I want to offer to be his customer service/project manager guy....he needs organizational help. Everybody seems to love his stuff but he just can't run a bidniz.

I would generally agree, but read the comments on the FB link I shared. I'll quote Darren directly:
had a stroke
😳
was in bad health for years stress high blood pressure. But I'm still here! Finally taking care of me,305lbs to 170lbs. Day by day
😁

I don't think this is a case of him trying to pull a fast one. I think he legit was on the brink of death for a hot minute.
And considering he's had 2 decades of good favor and trust built within the community, I think it's a bit easier to be more understanding of the circumstances.

It's understandable if you don't give him your business, but calling him a shyster probably isn't fair.

He puts out a good product, I guess I was one of the very last to get one before he went dark. Glad I did, back in biz or not, he's unreachable to me. Even "back then" he didn't respond to emails, but apparently would if contacted on "that site".
