Offroad Solutions Closing?
« on: Dec 05, 2008, 05:28:10 PM »
Their website says they are closing permanently as of 12-18-08. I guess that's gonna make my 3rz conversion harness a little harder to get. I suppose a 3 link front end wasn't meant to be. :(
Any one have any more info on this? Like who will be carrying some of their parts after they close?

ANNOUNCEMENT
12-5-08

As of 12-18-08 the Off Road Solutions facility, located at 6340 W. 56th Ave. #10 in Arvada Colorado, will be closed permanently. Through the 18th, business will continue as usual and we will complete every service job and deliver every parts order. After the 18th this website will remain online for access to technical information. Also, please periodically check the website as some of ORS’s unique product lines will soon be available through another outlet. This development will be announced on this website.

Most ORS parts will still be available online and from our business location until December 18th. Naturally, many of these will be on sale as we must liquidate some inventory. Please browse the website for any parts that may be of interest, they will still be found in their usual location. If a part has been removed, it is no longer available. Also, look at our Specials section for new and used parts, otherwise not found on the site, at clearance prices.

Again, please continue to periodically check this website as there will soon be additional information regarding the purchase of selected ORS parts through another outlet.

I suspect MC will be fine.  They are small and cantankerous.  And they aren't in it to make millions in profits, either - just to run a good business that serves a real need for us crazies.

I spoke to Mike yesterday, sounds like he has plans to continue do some stuff on the side. 3.4 and 2.7 wiring harness and his link systems may still be available still.
