ORD Weld In Repair Kit

[truck-oholic]

Looking for the steering repair/strengthening kit from Offroad Design. If you have one that you wound up not using, let me know. I am just not willing to pay full retail price & exorbitant shipping charges to buy direct.

Thanks,
Jesse

They're not the only folks that make 'em, e.g.

Hmmm, how is Rough Country selling them for $66 shipped and still making a profit when ORD wants $90 shipped AFTER a $9 "sale" discount? I just can't justify paying the higher number.

I have bought from ORD before, and they do have some nice stuff, but damn they are high on price. I have comparison shopped on a TON of stuff for my build and have been able to find just about everything a lot cheaper with same or better quality elsewhere without too much effort. Not trying to bash them but the previous statement is not an opinion, its fact. However, I digress, I will leave it up to the individual to decide if ORD's prices are too high.

I didn't know there were other vendors for the repair kit, thanks for the info

Bought the one from Ebay, so this thread is no longer necessary

To their credit, you can call ORD and ask them questions without necessarily buying anything, so the extra margin covers the time and expertise of Stephen and crew. Other vendors, especially Ebay ... not so much.

That said, I think they prefer selling higher-ticket items and kits, for which I can't blame them. (Until some red-headed idiot orders a transfer case from them and gets one piece wrong... I think Stephen was tired of hearing from me by the time I got it right )
