sky manufacturing
« on: Nov 28, 2004, 11:24:58 AM »
So everybody here bashes Allpoo, and I understand why, but I'm curious about Sky manufacturing.  They have a birfield eliminator kit for about $100 less than most, and a bunch of other stuff that looks to be engineered well enough.  One reason for my curiousity is my brother works in the same town and deals with them on a regular basis, and if I bought something from them I could have him bring it down free when he visits next time.  Has anybody used their stuff and have any solid feedback, not just imo's?  Nate

IMO  :greengrin:  eliminator kits are obsolete now (unless you already have them)  with Longs new chromo birfs.

Greengo, yea my brother said it's just a couple of guys in a small shop and they're pretty nice.  My brother's kinda stuck up so if he says they're cool it works for me.  He hasn't actually dealt with their parts, he's more like their supplier than a buyer.  Oh and, tee hee Kyota, tee hee....Nate

I have used them, didn't have any problems at all with them. Unlike Allpro....they sent my credit card info to someone else(card #,address, tele #).....Pissed me the hell off!
That's how I roll

Allpoo actually gave your info to someone else?  Weak!

I've bought a few things from them.  Honest and fast shipping.  I've actually been to their shop and bought an IFS rear for my pickup.  It was 5pm on a Friday and he was getting ready to head out of town and really didn't have time to answer the 1000 questions I had (very understandable) once I saw all the cool rigs and stuff in the shop.  Other than that, everything else has been great.  They are good people just like the Marlin Crawler crew.

I was talkin to a friend today who's wheeled his sammy for quite a while, and he also had good things to say about Sky.  As far as the eliminator kits being obsolete, I see it as being a more long term solution, and not much more expensive than buying the chromo axles you need when you buy the stronger birfs.  I don't doubt I'd do just fine with the longs, but from what everybody says they'd peel the splines off my stock axles, so I would be just as well off to go this way.  Keep the good feedback coming,  Nate

I just recieved a pitman arm adaptor from them yesterday. Good product nice people. Have had terrible luck with DOA and ALL POO.
But I suggest if you can get it from Marlin you are much better off.

I probably wouldn't be the one doin the contacting though, my brother talks to them all the time, and I'd probably just have him set it all up for me,   Nate
