Truckmeblue site is closed. I guess selling a stud kit every two weeks was too much work. I don't know why, though, he made a whole $2.00 on each kit.

Cheers.

Me too. Just got stud kit Thurs. I think if you take the time to e-mail him, say Hi, he will accommodate you. He's a pretty cool guy
My 2 cents

That's cool that he'll do that.

My guess is that it costs him a pretty fair amount per year to operate that Web site and he's not selling enough to recoup that cost so he dropped it. Just my guess....

Apparently since the site closed he has been flooded with orders and is reopening. Imagine that. 24 hrs and it will be back up. He also said that he is posting tech articles for customer reference.

So is truckmeblue still in business? As of today their website seems to be closed down. I'm a little concerned since I ordered a heating plate last week.

That site has been closed for a couple of months. If you made payment with paypal, contact them about getting it back. No payment has come through at this end.
