Weird. They have different phone numbers, but look almost identical.
im wondering if him or dan are buying parts from each other than re-selling them...they seem to be about the same price though...
Looks like the exact same stuff. Same layout. Same prices.

I'm sure he is a dealer for Dan @ Ruff Stuff!
Dan makes great stuff practically at unbeatable prices so why try and re-invent the wheel. Just helps Dan's volume as well.
Now when you start copying CAD designs and getting your own parts cut based of someone elses design..............that is another story.

Yes, Barnes 4wd sells some of Ruffstuff's items. We make Dan's stickers and he referred Barnes to me, too. So it's all on the up-and-up. They both sell great stuff. 
Dan sells retail and wholesale.
A lot of companies do it, for example you can buy PSC steering stuff direct or from ORD. Or Jesse sells Rock Logic stuff or you can buy direct from Rock Logic. Personally I'd buy from ORD or Blazen because they support CK5 and if there's trouble they have more influence with other company because they buy in volume. Hope that last point makes sense.

Scott has the answer!
Brad @ Barnes 4WD is one of my biggest Wholesale customers and he sells mostly our stuff, same prices but a day or 2 quicker than I can get it there since he is already on the east coast, he stocks everything so he can be very fast.
We sell retail but we also have over 300 wholesale customers, we actually sold wholesale for a few years before we went retail.......
