Seems like I was a lucky one
Got my bar after a few weeks , but did take some following up.
Alot still waiting for there gear

I've bought light bar brackets off JPA with no worries. Pricing for the higher end items isn't the most competitive. Included a generous amount of JPA decals, which is always a bonus in my book.

They seem fairly active on social media, which is becoming first point of contact for a lot of people.

I contacted them via facebook messenger and they said it's their own design and has nothing to do with Smittybuilt. That's how far I went with them, I bought the genuine parts from the US for about the same price including shipping. I read from someone who bought this bumper from AJP that the coating and material thickness of the bumper isn't as good as the Smittybilt version but I can't rectify that until I have seen it. Green Goblin, can we catch up for a comparison?

Funny thing is most Smittybilt stuff is made in China anyway.

If there are differences (I mean major differences like the grade of steel they used, weld lines, coating) then this would be a good example of different grades of quality of products made in China and why it makes sense to go through a supplier that has a name. And all I wanted to say was, AJPA claimed it was their own design while it has been out there by Smittybilt for quite some time and that actually put me off.

I ordered some LED tail lights and indicators from aftermarket in November but haven't had any response other than they would be another 14 days as they had to order them from overseas. You can see by the date it's way after that. I usually hate spending lots of money online and then they don't answer your emails or phone calls. Maybe he's in jail/dead who the hell knows? Looks like I'm going to have to join facebook I hate facebook.

Hear this all the time about them. He is still alive and regularly on FB
So you have paid for items in full and waited 3 months, did he tell you that before he took your hard earned money. I would say not.
All I can say is rogue and he should be ashamed of himself , you don't get dealt by in the same way from other Jeep specialists
