I have to admit that I really languished over whether to put it in my sig line or not. However, I have ordered a few things from David and got excellent service. In addition, he has been very helpful on the board.

I do think it would be good if the winner had to at least buy something from Dave first, though... Keeps it from being a cliche'. I'm sure for legal purposes, though, it has to be "no purchase necessary" or else there are lottery rules that may apply in certain states.

I thought he messed up when he priced the Yukons for so cheap because my installer called Randy's Ring and Pinion to price some and they quoted him $1100. Maybe they were trying to dick me, but they usually treat me great so I bet that is right.

I always thought Yukon gears were more expensive anyway. I hope he didn't make a mistake, lol. $499 for gears and kits is insane!!!.
Ordered them today at the sale price!

You know at first I put the link in my signature, hell who dosn't like free stuff. Then I felt like one of the rats following the Pied Piper. I had to remove it, it just made me feel weird.
