I’m not sure why everyone assumes that not only were they thrown away or “wasted” but that Kevin or I (the people who pick up other people’s trash on the trails) would have just left them lying on the road? The freedom panels were given to someone for FREE who planned to paint them anyways, which meant scratches from being tossed were irrelevant.

It is not necessarily a child running under the jeep slider steps, as much as a dog might in your world. Awesome that they are engineered to be safe and also don't self destruct on rocks.

Those are some kind words you had for Bestop but y'all being on Team Bestop get the VIP treatment & don't have to deal with them like "regular" consumers. Their CS is one of the worst. The Core Door debacle, where they just straight up lied to everyone on the pre-order list for a good 6 weeks about the shipping eta, just stalling for time. They gave 200 people a dozen different excuses, as if there wasn't an internet where folks didn't have an outlet to exchange stories about what they've been told. Even Northridge got fed up with their ish & since y'all have a relationship with them, y'all can ask David or Chris about it. Lucky for Bestop, they do make the best tops & if there were options from other manufacturers that were comparable then I'd go that route solely because of their sketchy CS. Say hi to Cassie.

Y'all must know a different Bestop than the one I've had to deal with. Their Customer Service dropped the ball on my last 2 orders. Told me they'd send me a swag package to make it right. A month later...did y'all get a chance to ship that package yet? Yep, via Fed-Ex weeks ago. Cool... might y'all have a tracking number for that package? Sorry, System is down. No worries, we'll send another. Another month passes... Same question. FedEx, had the intern ship it. Tracking? System Down...umm, the other rep I just spoke to gave me tracking info on my Element mirrors. Package expedited on 3 occasions, system is fine except when it comes to tracking the thing they offered to "make things right". Come to find out a year later, they offered the same goodwill package to 1/2 a dozen people that I know of and coincidentally, none of them got it either. If I was a douche I'd say names of who I spoke with and link screenshots of the conversations.
