Bad lift for 2004 Wrangler |
| Date: Dec 18, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (North Bay, Canada) | |
| Wow its amazing these people get away selling such crap. Paid 850$ for a 4" lift kit for my 2004 wrangler. They said that you do not require lower control links. Thats retarted, of course you do, You cannot go up in travel without making at least one arm of the triangle longer. There front track bar is crap too since it lacks a heim joint and quality bushing. So it won't last. They make you think the old man emu springs are the cats pajamas. There way too hard. The springs they shipped me looked like they were made for a dump truck, blew all 4 of their lame shocks on my first highway drive. Unfortunetly, their whole kit is a mismatch of other peoples lifts combined with their poor engineering. Expect poor customer service too. The people that work their no little about Tj's/wranglers. Lastly, their transfer case lowering kit they supply, yeah well its only a 1/2" lowering kit, What the heck are you going to do with that? I'll tell you, you are gonna have to replace a lot of rear shaft u-joints since the angle is so high. Its funny they think you can stuff 35" rubber under their kit, doubtful indeed without fender trimming and high offset wheels. They don't supply longer sway bar links either. Front or Rear, so expect to be preloading your front sway bar so much you'll likely snap it driving on anything but highway and definetly climbing over a curb. I replaced this junk with Pro-comp suspension. Had a little fun seeing how many guys could stand on the rear springs before it actually moved. Did they think that a tj weighs 10,000lbs. |

Horrible shipping practices. |
| Date: Oct 25, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (New Jersey) | |
| I ordered control arm lowering brackets on 10/20/11 @ 10am eastern time. Called @ 3pm today 10/25/11 and was told by their shipper / parts man that they have been in stock and they will ship in the next couple of days or so. Why would parts that are in stock take over a week to ship out!? | |

Double Shipping costs for Canadians |
| Date: Sep 01, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Toronto, Canada) | |
| I suggest you support your CAN customers with more than a frown. I'll alert other Canadians of these charges so they won't be double billed as I was with frown reply. The internet is a powerful tool to share customer experiences with other potential buyers/victims ;^} Go Canada Go Down with 60% added costs to your billing.

NOT worth the benefit of the doubt |
| Date: Aug 10, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Dallas, TX) | |
| I spent a TON of money ordering a 5" lift for my comanche. The first round of parts took forever to arrive. They neglected to send one part, for which I had to wait another 10 days. The CAD parts don't fit very well, some modification had to be made on drop kit to fit. Fabrication skills required! The front brake lines will have to be replaced when installing Rancho shocks! This is contrary to their rants on the website. They sent the wrong rear shocks, and, after two weeks' waiting, I had to PAY to get the replacement shocks sent - this is because I did not want to wait until the return label was sent so that we may return the wrong shocks (they won't ship the correct shocks until they receive the others). I would still be waiting for the return label right now had I not aked if I can just PAY to get the correct shocks out the door. Sadly enough, not even that did the trick a I am still waiting for the shipper to pick up the package - three days after paying! The return label for the wrong shock and the replacement shocks themselves have not been shipped in the 10 days I've been calling and waiting. Sure, I received quantum notification of shipment, but they never left the RRO place! I was patient and friendly with all the guys, but it was a total waste of my time. One of the guys is also very rude on the phone. He doesn't like to repeat himself. He thought he answered my question, so when I rephrased my question in order to prompt the correct response, he said he's tired of repeating himself. None of the guys that answer the phone take responsibility, and it's always someone else that answers the phone, making it that much more difficult. I'll admit that one person (name starts with 'C') was friendly and helpful, but he, too, seemingly dropped the ball. Another guy (name starts with "J") - was helpful as well - he ran out to his manche to compare some of the findings we had. Summary: -didn't send instructions - emailed them later, but hey are most difficult to follow - online pictures are easier to follow -center link bar - end link was not included in shipment -adjustable sway bar - only one side was correct, the other end was the wrong part - had to re-ship -transfer case drop - only the outer brackets worked, had to re manufacture inner bracket to fit. -rear shocks were wrong -lack of willingness to help when calling in to get issues resolved. - they must have caller ID, as they no longer answer my calls |

Liberty is Rockin it! |
| Date: Aug 09, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Phoenix, AZ) | |
| Wow, quite a load of mixed reviews online. But everyone I know personally has nothing but good to say about Rocky Road. And one buddy had a set of the JB control arms fall apart on him. So I went ahead and picked up their Rockfather kit with the new control arms for my KJ. So glad I did. The kit came with the struts all put together when made my installation easy. I would recommend to anyone that if you are thinking of putting the lift kit on by yourself, get the kit with the assembled struts! I got my kit in about 2 weeks which I expected. I know Rocky Road is known for having the best parts, but sometimes a couple weeks of shipping time. They sent me an email with the UPS info on it so I could track it. Took me a whole day to get the kit on. Instructions gave me enough info to feel comfortable trying it on my own. Darn Jeep though, they don't make it easy since some of the bolts are hidden. Anyway, I've had the kit on for a couple months now and really love it! Everyone in our area knows Rocky Road is the best for Jeeps and I'm glad I listened to guys I know rather than some of the internet stuff. Really great kit and if you email them I think you get the owner of the company who knows more than anyone I've seen on Jeeps. I give an A+ for my Jeep! |

Rocky Rock is Great |
| Date: Aug 06, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Southport, NC) | |
| I just Don't see how people claim they have had bad customer service from "RRO" I placed one order last month and it took 4 or 5 days to get to me and i just placed a 2nd order. I bought a 2000 jeep cherokee that was already lifted with a 3" rusty's spring kit...Nothing but problems and GLENN has helped me 100% with getting my jeep right, even though its not his kit... he has only sold me parts that i needed and helped me get my jeep the way it should be..So with that said if you need something email him and ask if it's going to be back ordered OR WHAT NOT... He is the most down to earth man and really wants to help with your 4X4 needs ...Rocky Road Outfitters gwbuild@rocky-road.com .GLENN THANKS Again 100+ customer service |

After Lift |
| Date: Jun 07, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Fort Irwin, CA) | |
| I bought the rockfather deluxe kit. I ordered it on March 25th and recieved it on June 2nd. The excuse I got from them was they changed warehouse then it was backordered 2 weeks then they were waiting on OME. So I finally got all the crap and the back is very easy to do. The front was a little tougher since you have to take your batter and box out and all that stuff. Then I couldnt get the shock to fit into the fork that attaches to lower control arm. So i detached it from the control arm and attached it to the shock then loosened the lower control arm and had to run a ratchet from the other control arm in order to get the fork and shock to bend against the body enough to align the bolt. So after all that and doing the other side I drove it about 50 miles and took it a 4x4 specialty shop for the alignment. They cannot get my tires strait. one side is 1.5 degree off the other is 1 degree. RRO says i i have to rent their alignment tool or w/e and put the cam bolt in the other spot. After spending 1300 and all that work this is total bs. I have to drive 70 miles just to make it to an alignment shop cuz im at fort irwin ca in the middle of nowhere. Im so dissapointed with them. The shocks work nice though but my 250 dollar tires are ganna wear on the outside. | |

Very bad customer service |
| Date: Apr 28, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Holland, MI) | |
| Worst Customer service I have ever experienced. It took a month and a half to get the first part of my order and 2 1/2 months for the rest of it. No tracking order, I had to keep calling them back to find out what was going on. Got lied to about my quick disco's being shipped. I will never order from them again!!! | |

Beware-Beware-Beware !!!!! |
| Date: Apr 26, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Tucson, AZ) | |
| I ordered an OME suspension lift for my Suzuki. Parts came missing hardware, front struts were two different colors, scratched, and coil springs protective plastic coating gouged off in places. Sloppy, careless,inattentive to detail. Salespeople are less than caring, they blame OME for all the deficiencies. I told them it makes them look bad but they take no responsibility. I would be extremely reluctant to ever buy ANYTHING from these people again. |

Insane arms for jeep liberty are an INSANE waste of money |
| Date: Apr 08, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Little Valley, NY) | |
| I purchased a set of rro's insane arms for my 2005 liberty. When I received and installed his product I was pleased. Now about 5 months later these a arms might as well be stock. They continue to bottom out on my strut assembly just as the stock arms did because of my 3inch lift. If I had known saving a little money and not buying jba's product would leave me right where I started I would have done it right the first time. I have placed several calls to rro about this problem and they tell me the bushings are bad and when I reply "So your telling me you sell a product that goes bad in under 6 months" all I get is silence and told to send an email with pictures to prove my claim because according to them this is impossible. I have attempted to email them three times, the first two email addresses I was given did not work. Now it has been 3 days with no response from the OWNER of the company. This is pathetic and I hope anyone who reads this saves their money and goes with jba and not rro because you will end up in the same predicament I'm in. | |

Happy from OZ |
| Date: Apr 07, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Perth Western Australia) | |
| I would like to say that the rocksliders, roofrails and diff guard I have bought from RRO for my 2006 Liberty have been great, I have been dealt with very quickly and the parts arrived quicker than they said. I was so impressed, I have ordered a roof rack to match my roof rails. All these parts arrived to me in PERTH, WESTERN AUSTRALIA. I have only dealt with Carol who has been very helpful via e-mail, I feel very suprised to find so many people who are not happy with RRO, we are reading this negative feedback, but how many people, like myself are very happy? I have dealt with companys in OZ who are terrible and way over priced, I took a chance ordering from the US from, RR0 but I will order again, no problem. |

Very happy with the ZJ lift and control arms |
| Date: Feb 05, 2011 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Tucson, AZ) | |
| I ordered the 4.5 inch trailblazer lift for my ZJ and while shipping took slightly longer than other places I still had my lift in a week and a half. The install was fairly straight forward and the instructions assume a general mechanical knowledge of the installer and do not explain every step in detail, but they are clear about any tricky parts of the install. The kit installed nicely with no bump steer steady hard braking and the standard shocks that ship with the kit work surprisingly well. I was worried about my order after reading many poor reviews online, but was pleasantly surprised that in my case the product and service were both excellent. | |

Horrible place to do business!!!! |
| Date: Dec 26, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Denver, CO) | |
| They have horrible customer service and their parts are low quality and have the least functional parts on the market! You can buy parts with better quality from CHINA. The customer service was the worst I've ever dealt with and they even tried to accuse me of stealing from them because they charged me $60.00 more than what they were supposed to . Trust me on this STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. I will never, ever, ever, buy anything from this place as long as I'm alive and will tell my kids to do the same! Companies like ROCKY ROAD OUTFITTERS are a total rip off and I might even go as far as to call them a scam!!! You can make the same parts with better quality at home and would never be accused of stealing nor be treated like a piece of S**t!!! | |

Update from last review - Edmonds, WA |
| Date: Nov 18, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Edmonds, WA) | |
| So I just put the review below in on the Front adjustable trackbar and I got the part on now so I am updating. Like I said before, fast shipping, great price. Looks decent. Now that I have it on, I am a little disappointed. First, it is physically smaller than the OEM. That isn't necessarily that big a deal since it could be better materials but I was surprised. The main issue was that it would not allow me to adjust it to fit the lift. I bought the right one but can't help wondering if I got the right one. I have it screwed alll the way until I can't adjust it any shorter and it still needs about a qtr. to a half inch. Little frustrating since the reason you are buying it is to have the front adjusted properly. I know it isn't quite right and I don't know what kinda lift it is built for but not the one on the ad. Anyway, I am pretty cheap so I am used to getting a little less than satisfactory. If you are not cheap and want the product to work exactly as advertised, I would probably look elsewhere. Too bad really since they have a chance to do real well with these but they need to work properly considering this is something that is used to make corrections to a problem. Still have the problem only it is slightly better and I and $1XX poorer. | |

So Far - Excellent |
| Date: Oct 18, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Edmonds, WA) | |
| I haven't installed the part yet so I may be back for a repost but I ordered my part online after talking with the sales guy, he said it would take 2 days to ship out and two days to get here. They ended up shipping in one day and sent me the info. on tracking and it got here in 2 days as they said. It was a front trackbar and it appears to be a very good one (will see in a few days when I have time to put it on) and the shipping and communication was great. So far, I am very happy with buying from them. | |

Bad Service and response time |
| Date: May 21, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Cookeville, TN.) | |
| I ordered two products from Rocky Road. I was very clear that I needed the lower 2" or so diameter lower shifter boot that attaches to the transfer case. I also ordered a bikini top. I called after a month to ask if the order had been lost. I was told that the top was back ordered and it would be shipped later. I told them that I was not in huge rush just send both parts at the same time to avoid shipping charges. I got a package two months after the order was placed with the wrong part on the boot. I still do not have the top. I will say that I have ordered other things from Rocky Road and was very pleased. I do not know what has gone wrong with this transaction. | |

The worst |
| Date: Apr 16, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Mesa, AZ) | |
| $3000 + of parts ordered within three weeks from several companys and the only only one that did not deliver was Rocky Road. No tracking shipments on line, You must call for tracking information that is never correct. I could drop ship from my garage better than this, just like Ebay They are rude, un-organized, and confused. My first call they told me the part would be there within a week. I called ten days later and they had no record of my first call. (RUDE) Never got the part as committed- They told me they had all the information I gave them during my SECOND PARTS TRACKING PHONE CALL. Where is my part? "No idea" They did not care so I cancelled the order. Was not worth trying to save $30 |

Customer Service? What customer service??? |
| Date: Apr 05, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Pittsburgh Area) | |
| Let me start off by saying I don't like "bashing" company's but I think customers should be aware of the lack of customer service. I recently ordered from Rocky Road Outfitters and bought an Old Man Emu, 2002 Nissan Pathfinder lift kit and wasn't too happy off the start. I was originally told it would take 2 weeks to ship, but then changed to 3 weeks by the end of the phone call due to back orders...ok, I can deal with that. Two and a half months later, I finally got my lift kit (also I had to call them with updates on where my lift kit was, and never received a confirmation email) and upon my receiving my lift kit, my struts were trashed. Deep scratches, and chips of metal gouged throughout the strut to the bare metal left me pretty upset. According to them, and after describing how the box arrived in precise detail, supposedly they did not pack it that way, instead UPS did. I don't know who is to blame on that, but its like they couldn't have cared less (and I'm still not on the main issue). I would expect after paying close to $1000 for the kit, and $75 just for shipping, I would expect to have "non-damaged" goods and have ALL hardware. Too much to ask apparently. Since the struts weren't in there "original" boxes, it's obvious the contents would be lost en route...somewhere. Still at this point, I'm not too happy but understanding. I call back to explain some of the lost parts, he redirected me to call ARB. After playing "phone tag" between the company's, I finally talked RRO one more time. Intro to the "icing on the cake." I explained to them I was missing a spacer sleeve that is used to mount the strut and we seem to understand what I need. I ask him to have one sent to me ASAP, and would expect them to overnight it to me. They explain it's not their fault the piece is missing, and they could send it overnight but at my expense...not acceptable. In all fairness, it wasn't my fault either. I'm just the "customer" who makes the order and EXPECTS a quality product to be sent to my residence...especially when I pay $1000. And if something is missing, they remedy the situation and they deal with the B.S. from UPS, not me. Again, not my issue. I made the order and purchase, and it's their responsibility to ensure the shipping. After several minutes of arguing my case, the gentleman began to mock me and say, "it's not the end of the world or life or death, man!" Well look here MAN...I spend my hard earned money to buy your crap, and expect some sort of customer service, not to be made a mockery of. May I suggest your company learn some basic human relations and advise your associates to take customer service complaints/issues a little more seriously and not be so ignorant. On a final note, I do intend on contacting and filing a report with the BBB and will NEVER do business with this company again. This is a much shortened version of all events and I'm trying to be respectful in this message, but be bluntly honest. Order with CAUTION! | |

Lift kit |
| Date: Mar 31, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Colorado Springs, CO) | |
| I recently ordered a 3.5" lift for my zj and I was missing the tie rod end. I emailed them and I received the part in about a week. There was some confusion as to whether the part was coming UPS or USPS, priority mail. No big deal, it got straightened out. Its unfortunate to see so many bad reviews here as this was my first time ordering from RRO since they have so many cool parts for Jeeps and many other vehicles. I will be back sometime to order again. | |

06 Commander lift kit and rock rails |
| Date: Mar 25, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Gilbert, AZ) | |
| After all the negative reviews I was leery of ordering from these guys. However, I took the chance and ordered the commander lift kit w/shocks and the rockrails. I was proactive about finding out when the items were going to ship and confirmed the items I ordered w/them. I am very pleased with the outcome. The front lift was somewhat of a challenge to install. I don't recommend installing in your driveway with just basic tools. I'm in the military and used the auto hobby shop on base. Saved me from being completely frustrated. The back lift was easy each side took about 30 mins. The rockrails are awesome. They fit like a glove. They really did their homework with these. My only suggestion is the four bolts that screw into the frame should probably be sheet metal screws. The frame was tough to drill through with some portions your actually drilling through two pieces of metal. Other than that I am very pleased with the simplicity of the lift, how it looks, and the handling afterwards. The rockrails are definitely worth the price they charge. I look forward to dealing with them when I do upgrades for my 93 Cherokee w/my son. | |

Years of experience |
| Date: Mar 22, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (El Paso, TX) | |
| I have an '88 Samurai Hardtop and have ordered the JPEater lift kit, very good product, a little slow on delivery, but it was when it was promised. Also the Garvin Wilderness Rack - delivered on time - another great product. The full size spare holder is another winner, the off road seats are great, they fit well and were delivered on time. The off road shocks are great and also delivered on time. My orders have been small and spaced out about once a year as this is my son's daily driver and we just add to it when we get some cash. They were recommeded to my by another zuke owner who has also been satisfied for many years. He likes the diamond plating and the big rubber fender flares. They may be next on our list of additions. As a business owner myself I always remember that people are quick to be a critic, but slow to praise; therefore my unsolicited good words for a company that has done a good job for my needs. |

2005 CRD Rockfather II + Insane Arms |
| Date: Feb 07, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Indianapolis) | |
| It's a bummer to hear that so many people have had a bad experience with RRO. I ordered a lift and they told me I would not get it until mid January and that was a few weeks off and that's exactly when it came. The parts fit good for the install and their instructions were helpful. I had a few questions during the install and sent them an e-mail and we responded back and forth a few times w/in 24hrs. After the install I ordered the A-arms b/c I needed them to get better alignment after bigger tires + lift. Alignment was very close and I did have the clearance from the springs but I wanted a little more and I wanted the alignment to be right on. I could be just fine w/ stock A-arms though. Tracking on the package says it's in Indy and that's only 6 days from when I ordered them and that was just the normal shipment option. I have to say my jeep looks suuweeet and the lift kit seems to be heavy duty, good quality, and well built. A little help for those of you with a 2005 CRD wanting to put on this lift kit. The coil overs were a little bit of a bear. Went to Auto Zone to get spring compressors for 34$ and ground them down w/ grinder to fit through the springs a little easier. That helped. I also utilized C-clamps to aid in remounting the coil-over fork to the lower A-arm on the passenger side. RRO said liberties don't need that much fuss though and most of the time can be remounted with just hands. I put on BFG KM2 245/75 R16 and backspaced wheels(can't remember how much). That was the max set up for my year/model of liberty b/c that year didn't have quite as much clearance as other year liberties. I had to take a grinder and grind down the metal protrusion in the back of the front wheel well. I also had to grind a bit of plastic in the front of the front wheel well to aid in clearance(not a big deal trust me and is not noticeable). Rear end went on by myself in about 20min per side including time to take off and put on the wheels. This was the first lift I've ever put on and figured it out, I am mechanically minded but not a mechanic. I found RRO on the internet, I'm in Indiana and have had a good experience with this company so I thought some people should know it's not always a bad experience with these guys. Wish you could see how good this thing looks and feels darn near close to original driving down the road. |

Worst place to buy |
| Date: Feb 07, 2010 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Denver, CO) | |
| This place has horrible customer service. Called me a liar and left me out 500 bucks! I will never order from them ever again. I ordered close to $1000 worth of parts and this is how they treat me! They claim I was accusing them of stealing from me when they charged me for 6 rims and I ordered 5. Of course they refunded me for that rim because obviously I didn't order 6. So I received the rims and they were the wrong bolt pattern. Ok...First I placed the order over the phone and spoke to one of their so called "techs" about my samurai and how this was my first build and so on before I placed my order. IDIOTS!!!! If I told you I was building a samurai why would you allow me to order a set of rims without confirming or asking me about which axles I'm running? Now I'm out $500 and they tell me they can't do anything about that. Beware of this place! If this happens to you I wouldn't want to be the one who said "I told you." | |

Trail Creeper 6.5:1 T-Case Gears |
| Date: Dec 25, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (CA) | |
| I ordered the Trail-Creeper gears from RRO. Waited about a week with no gears, calls, or e-mails. I called them, they said gears are on back order, ETA 3 months. RRO buys these gears from Trail Gear. I called TG and they said the gears were available. TG got them to me in 3 days, with a $100 cheaper. It's unfortunate their customer service is lacking. It seems like they have potential to be a good supplier. |

Not a company you want to deal with... |
| Date: Nov 24, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Denton, TX) | |
| They sent me the wrong stuff, they only corrected the problem when I threatened them with a lawsuit. The remaining parts of the order were MIA for months before the order cancellation was made. I find it hard to believe that a company that preys upon first time buyers like they do is still in business. Once you have dealt with them, every other 4wd parts house doesn't seem bad at all. | |

Poor Poor Poor Customer Service |
| Date: Oct 15, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Portland, Maine) | |
| This is the second and last time I will ever deal with RRO! broken promise times poor customer service and did I mention poor customer service! like last time I am still waiting for the rest of my order. I called today and had a rude bastard talk over me while i was talking just to get an answer of maybe this week or next week, they told us that 3 weeks ago. They need to get thier s- together and take care of the customers they have or they wont have any customers to deal with! I promise that once this order has been filled I will never ever ever deal with this company again!!! After reading the reviews here I'm sure most of you agree RRO are terrible to work with | |

Know What you are dealing with |
| Date: Sep 29, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Toronto) | |
| I have ordered from RRO 5 to 7 times first for my Samurai then for my Jeep. And I had no experience out of the ordinary.. But I never expected them to act like a tier one vendor. Most orders took 10-12 days Guys. this is a 3 person local shop in Utah with an Eye to be a little bigger. They do wicked work for those whom come in; and they sell their own designs and a bit more on the web. They don't carry inventory unless they build it themselves and the stuff they build is actually pretty good. The order in stuff is usually a little cheaper than elsewhere too.. Which counts when you are like me converting to canadian dollars. Look at their website it's cheesy.. They are the equivalent of rolling up to a local shop and getting them to order it. And at times they don't answer the phone or answer it out of breath because they really are/were under a truck. If you want to buy from a big box - we all can and we do. But Every Once in a while I throw an order their way. They are nice and when you get Glenn his advice is bang on.... |

Waiting as of now!!!!!!!!!! |
| Date: Aug 07, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Richmond, VA) | |
| Ok, so i bought the OTT kit from them and wanted it 2nd day shipped. That was sunday, I figured ok it will be here weds. So on weds at around 3pm I called just to make sure it was on its way because I had not heard anything from them. Well after calling twice and waiting on the phone for 30 mins total with no one picking up I decided to use the online chat. I got some guy and asked about my order, he told me it had not shipped because they are waiting on parts. I asked estimated time, he said 2-3 weeks, I asked why they would not call someone to let them know that if they asked for second day air because they probably needed it and I paid a crap ton of money to get it shipped like that, he said they don't have the staff to do that and then I said cancel the order then, well its thursday and after I have ordered somewhere else I just got an email stating they sent my order anyways and charged my card, and the best part of this is.... it was still not shipped second day air and I was charged for it.... what a rip off..... do not buy from there. I will contact the BBB on them as well. | |

Worst off-road company ever |
| Date: Jul 30, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Long Island, New York) | |
| Lets just start with the fact that I had a whole website running called "ihaterockyroadoutfitters.com". I actually don't want to get started because of the 2 seperate experiences I had. Their customer service is horrible. Seemed like college kids who didn't care and had no knowledge. I was always referenced to their website that had no info. The owner was always overseas and never available. They never responded to my BBB (Better Business Bureau) complaint. I bought the SOA YJ kit (this was my worst experience ever). Parts didn't fit right, parts on back order for months, and design was very poor. | |

Never corrected installation error |

| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Upland, CA) | |
| I bought a lift kit from RRO about a year ago. A few weeks ago I found out that their installation directions for incorrect. The mistake could lead to a spacer failure. RRO never notified any customers of this issue. They also refuse to answer any of my questions. DO NOT BUY FROM RRO! |

Horrible customer service and poor communication |
| Date: May 08, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Tracy, CA) | |
| After reading several negative reviews I decided to give them a shot anyway and form my own opinion. My opinion is DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!I ordered an OTT High Steer Kit and was told it would ship in no more that 3 weeks. Called back 3weeks later and was told they were waiting on parts. Called back a week later and was told all parts were in and going to powder coat. Call back a week later and was told all parts were out of powder coat and would ship by the end of the week. Called back at the end of the week and was told that all parts were backordered and they had no idea when parts would be available. Jarod informed me that they could only provide estimates of lead times and that they could not forsee the future and were not an automated shop. Requested to speak with supervisor; I was informed that Carol the supervisor was actually never in the shop. I'm not sure how you supervise from off site. Cancelled my order and bought from Teraflex. All parts in stock and shipped immediately. | |

CJ Old Man Emu budget wrangler spring conversion |
| Date: Apr 30, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Alma, AR) | |
| Ok I read all the reviews after I had ordered the kit and started thinking how I didn't want to deal with what others had gone through, so I called on Friday and cancelled the order with no problem. This was after two weeks of waiting which up front they told me it would be two to three weeks before the kit would ship. Well on the following Tuesday I got a call from them saying all the stuff had came in and was ready to ship and did I still want the kit, what a surprize after not getting anywhere with a local four wheel drive shop over the following weekend. Well I ended up going on with the order from them and what a great company to deal with, all the parts came in this week like promised and looked really good, nice welds, beefy parts, everything fit and bolted up great. I even read somewhere on the net that they write fraudulent reviews on their behalf, I really used Rocky Road Outfitters Old Man Emu budget Wrangler spring conversion on my CJ5 and had a really good experience with them and their product. | |

Sucks to be you |
| Date: Mar 26, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Pasco, FL.) | |
| I bought the 4.5" kit for my ZJ about 2 years ago and have had no problems since. I did have to wait for some parts when I ordered it but for the price I can't complain. I also called several times w/ misc. questions before, during, and after I purchased the kit w/ no issues. BTW I installed the kit myself so I had my hands on every part. With there affordable pricing and decent quality construction I can deal w/ a little wait. | |

Too long for parts |

| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Orange County, CA) | |
| I ordered an Old Man Emu lift kit for my Land Rover Discovery. After 2 weeks I called to check on my order and they said another 6-8 WEEKS due to large demand. No thanks. After calling to cancel my order, I ordered the same kit from British Pacific..for LESS.. and got delivery the same week. | |

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS!!! |
| Date: Jan 19, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Seattle, WA) | |
| It is really hard to put into 1000 words how bad tease guys really are. I waited for my parts forever. when I asked them what was taking so long they said ARB had to ship it from Austrailia. I contacted ARB directly and they informed me that they had never been out of that product and they had it in the warehouse wich is 15 miles from my house. They lied to me on no less than 8 ocasions and in the end I did not recive my parts. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE GUYS!!! They have people in the forums that write fake reviews. They make you return or cancel your order and then take 15% off the top for "restocking fee" Contact me and I will send you all the emails word for word. |

No such thing as customer service here |
| Date: Jan 14, 2009 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Kansas City, MO) | |
| Where do I start! I ordered an ARB bumper from these turkeys in october of 2008, I waited for 3 1/2 weeks and no bumper. So I contacted them and they said it was on back order, I told them no problem. When can I expect those to be ready to ship from ARB? They (Glen, the owner) contacted ARB and they said they will be ready to ship out in about 3 days I said that will be fine, I then asked, how long does it usually take after being shipped? They said about 2 weeks or Dec. 19 I should expect it. Dec. 19 came and went so I called again on the 23 of dec. and they said just be patient it will arive shortly. I called again the 27th and thats when things get interesting. I talked to someone and I asked them to check the order, they asked for my order number and they had it on file but no one put the order through to ARB even though my account was charged over $1000! I told them I wanted a refund, so the guy said it would be the first week in January, I was not happy with that answer but I reluctantly said ok. The first week in January comes around, and still no money! I called on wed. of the first week of 09' and wanted to know what the deal was. I talked to the same person I talked to on the 27th and he had no clue what I was talking about! I reminded him and he said it takes time and i said it souldn't take any time at all since we did it through pay pal. He then told me to be patient again and I lost it!!!!!! After ripping him a new one I told him to give me to someone that could help me. He did and after explaining the situation yet again she was going to put half in now and half in later (5 days) I told her that was unacceptable and ripped her a new one she finally apologized and the money was in my account within 5 min. The customer service in this place is the worst I have ever had to deal with and I urge every one who is thinking of buying from them to think twice!!!! | |

Samurai/Jeep |
| Date: Sep 30, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (bill.wright@navy.mil) | |
| Same company sells Samurai Off Roadin parts. Bought a rear coil suspension system (1000.00)from them a few years ago, ended up with a piece of crap after waiting 3 months. The thing looked like a monkey welded it together with hanger wire. Called them back and discussed the problem and they said there was nothing they could do since they did not make it. Well, I'll run into them on a trail someday and have some "fun" dogging the crap they sell. | |

Underhanded Company |
| Date: Jul 11, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Arizona) | |
| If you do a seller search on eBay with rockroadoutfitters you will see that they have made their feedback private - you can no longer see what a terrible reputation these snakes have. What's more, they started a new eBay acount as rockyroadoutfitters_4x4 and have started over with 0 feedback. This is just one more underhanded trick that Rocky Road Outfitters has pulled. I highly recommend that you shop elsewhere. You will undoubtedly experience nothing but frustration and aggravation with these knuckleheads while you wait for months for your parts. |

OK parts - TERRIBLE service!! |
| Date: Jun 17, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Arizona) | |
| Bought an SOA/OTT kit for a Jeep. Took over a month to receive. Lots and lots of excuses, lied to me outright about shipping. I also bought a diff guard from them on eBay. That turned into a mess. Had to dispute with PayPal, they actually told me that it hadn't been built. OK parts, but an overall terrible experience considering I spend $1600!! They did little to nothing to keep my business. Save yourselves some aggrivation folks, there are plenty of alternatives. | |

Nice products - TERRIBLE business practices!!! |
| Date: May 25, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Arizona) | |
| Made a $1600 order with these folks. Over one month later I've received only some of it. Gave me two different ETA's on an SOA kit - never arrived. Missing ball joints, they blamed it on UPS. Bought a diff guard on eBay and later learned that the shop hadn't built it yet. So, I guess they ARE selling things they don't have. Their eBay feedback reflects blame on everyone but themselves. Keep in mind they told me they had most of my order in stock when I made the purchase with an ETA of two weeks for the balance. I guess they lied to me as well. I paid via PayPal, may have to dispute. What I did receive was well built tho, thus the four stars! | |

Horrible company |
| Date: May 23, 2008 | |
| Reviewer: A JeepReviews.com User from (Frederick, MD) | |
| They are by far the worst company I have ever delt with. I order a header from them off ebay which they said they had 56 in stock. Two weeks later i still had not recieved my header so I called and apparently the headers they were suppose to have in stock were on back order. This really made me mad a company shouldn't lie to make sales. Before this incident I order a soft top from them three weeks of waiting and my card not being charged I called to find out where my top was, they had no record of me purchasing anything. I encourage all to report their bad expierences to the Better Business Burea on the BBB website it takes two minutes and they get results. | |
