R.I.P Bobby Long

[iNfErNaL]

Bobby Long just passed away after losing his fight with Cancer . . . RIP Bobby , you will be missed by many .





Edit by BigMike:
Bobby Long is the owner of Longfield Super Axles and the inventor of the Longfield.
Here is his website to get an idea of what he did for the hobby of Rock Crawling: http://www.longfieldsuperaxles.com
Information from earlier this year, copied from Pirates (link):

Bobby long has had 11 surgeries to remove the tumor in his back and 4 surgeries in the past year. This thing is growing faster and faster. It's possible the next surgery will have him in a wheel chair. Each one of these covered by insurance up to 80% and bobby and Tina have to cover the rest. This also doesn't cover medication. They have been told that a few companies down south guaranty to slow the growth of this tumor or stop it but aren't covered by insurance. The next thing in progress is to install a pain pump into bobbys spine just above is tumor to relieve the pain he is going through.....yet another thing insurance won't pay for. So this is what I'm asking...... To keep such a vital part of our sport going....I have set up a bank account for bobby to help with the cost in this illness. His customer service is like no other out there and he keeps trying to make a better product for us. Not only do we need him in our sport.....but they are also family to most of us. If any of you can help out ....here is the account. The bobby long fund raiser ..bank of America .138112145071 .so if any of you that can help him out....please jump on this....big vendors also.

I don't believe I ever had the pleasure of meeting him, but my heart breaks for his family.

[ValenciaTundra]

Wow... I was Just talking with a friend last night about Bobby and why you support a guy/company like his. Toyota axles would not be where they are today without his innovative products. He will truly be missed by many and my condolences go out to his friends and family.

It is a sad day for the Toyota community. RIP Bobby Long

R.I.P Bobby. I thank you for many miles of stress free wheeling, not worrying about breaking burfields anymore is a huge relief.

Great guy, great company & a great product.

I've been running his 27-spline Chromos in my truck for almost half a decade now. Was really hoping to see him again at KOH and the Tin Benders Jambo 2013
