ORI is shit. the owner is/was (havent heard about them in about a year) a guy named mike. he was originally from san antonio and owned performance offroad. performance offroad was THE place to go to get your truck done for a while about 10 years ago. mike built a new shop, and started treating people like shit, doing halfass installs, and carrying shitty products. he bought a monster truck, and supposedly had some loans out from the wrong people(dont know if that part is true). He went bankrupt, sold his business to another guy, (its still around, but MUCH smaller). and moved shop to bulverde. bulverde has got alot of money, but 90% of the residence commute to San Antonio everyday, and can get theyre trucks done here just as easy. last time i heard he was in austin where noone knows him or his reputation. i didnt know he was making his own kits these days. but i would be very leary. :imo

ORI=off-road i..? i cant remember

i highly doubt that son of a bitch is making his own. hes so full of shit. i got my first truck done by him. big mistake. will sweet talk you to get you to buy from him, then does a shitty job, takes forever, and is a total ass after he gets you money. he got a black eye after he got in a fight with a customer when he was doing the work on my truck...made me wonder what the hell he did to that poor bastards truck. he said the guy just started swinging and he took him outside and beat the crap outta him. thats not the story i heard after the fact. dont buy from this guy. id rather see you go to 4wp

No digital pics, just old photos n polariods
89 K5, Dark Gray with the black "midsection" i guess that went along the side of the truck...4in Rancho Susp with 35X12.50 BFG ATs, he reamed me on a set of new shock, the tires...his guy stripped like 2 lugnut threads on each wheel and never told me about it :nono:

Josh, that's the guy I was thinking of in that beefy ford thread, not enternity.
they were right across the street and down the road from where you are thinking. ive seen theyre ads in magazines since this thread started, and theyre logo on LOTS of trucks in and around austin. :nono:
