I see data on google but all the links seem to be down...is he belly up or is my DNS whacked?

Anyone buy anything from Rod lately? I was wanting to inquire to availability of the 2" lift.

I don't think he is belly up since it is mostly a hobby for him, he runs a helicopter parts firm full time. I'll send him an email today and ask what's up; he's an awesome dude to talk XC70s with all day as well.

Thanks Jesse. I got the impression he has something todo with CNC and/or surgical sales. I talked to him about 2-3 years ago when he had the spacer lift. Got a free shirt!

It could be my DNS (east coast) but I haven't had time to test. I see I can ping his domain name but nothing comes up...just a placeholder.

Sent an email and called him as well, phone went to voicemail. It also looks like one of his other websites, www.campsuby.com is also offline. This has me concerned as he is a very great guy who offers some awesome quirky Xc70 gear for the community. I'll keep you posted.

A quick look of the whoisit of his sites shows they are not expired till later in the year. So something is either gone wrong with his websites (server side) or he's disappeared! The campsuby you mention was updated on 3.12.14 and the DNS may be wrong.

It would seem he is no where to be found... the email I sent to him was returned as undeliverable and he has not yet returned my call.

Odd to say the least! keep up posted if he returns the call so we at least know he's given up on the Volvo world, or not!

What was the other website for?

It was camping gear I believe.

We're up! Rod was looking for someone to take over operations and I jumped in. You can find us at http://www.xc70liftkit.com/ while we work on transferring the old badswede domain. Springs should be ready to ship by August 15th, although you can preorder at the site now. I've got seven sets left. We'll focus on the P2 spring sets for now and look at other items later.

Thanks,
Jeff

Awesome...I see my fall project is bad as I need to replace my entire creeky Volvo suspension...why not throw in some lift with my Geolanders!

THis is a bit of hijacking my own thread but do you guys suggest particular stuts with these? I saw one post (somewhere) many moons ago with guyx talking about XC90 struts being used. thoughts?
