Tricky Motorsports Introduction

[Tricky Dick]

I just wanted to make a quick post now that I'm an official vendor. Tricky Motorsports, aka TD Distributing is a small family run business. And by family run, I mean I do everything while the family runs off.

The only Bronco specific parts we carry are for 6Gs, but we do have a tire inflation line that has been popular with all types of 4x4 enthusiasts. Matter of fact that's how we got started, there was a demand for the Maxi Trac compressors sold at Napa but they had been discontinued. I imported a truckload of the unbranded version and the rest is history.

For the 6G guys, you might know me as the discoverer of the Ranger tie rod interchange, or for my frame horn reinforcements.

You can check out our product line at td-distributing.com

I'm running a promo to the end of the month on my Maxi Trac clones if anyone is interested. Code "MAXIWHO?" at checkout takes $30 off all versions. https://td-distributing.myshopify.com/products/trickflate-dual-cylinder-12v-300-l-min-air-compressor

I was looking at your compressors for up at my hunting cabin. A lot of the times it's small tire fill ups(Roxor, Polaris) but some times my 74 bronco tires but on the norm usually 1 tire. I don't mid supporting a fellow owner of our Broncos, old school any how but I don't want to buy something that will break out in the field, don't need a bunch of add ons also, maybe post your compressors working on your Bronco it'd help get a vision.

They are generally dependable, the electronics board is the only weak link. It's common on the Napa version to replace the whole board with a simple relay if it goes out. Beyond that, I do carry all the parts for them but I realize that's little comfort when you're out at a cabin.

I have one hard mounted in my 6G and it's been all over the US with me as my only compressor.

 

[MThalfcab]

Where is it hard mounted? I would like to half cab my 74, then I'd like to fab an compartment where my spare tank would go, installing an compartment there to hold an compressor. Why don't you make your compressors bullet proof that way we give you good reviews instead of having to deal with being out at the cabin and pissed off?

Here's a better photo. It's on a prototype molle mount I designed. I will eventually put them into production but I have too many irons in the fire right now.

Morrflate already has the market cornered on the upgrades out of the box, they sell the same base unit off the same production line but $230 for theirs all done vs $125 for mine. I'm targeting the DIY budget segment that used to buy the Napa version and upgrade themselves. Some people might be better off buying the Morrflate and some people like to tinker, just giving options.

 

[MThalfcab]

I don't like tinkering, I want it to work when I need it for the money im paying! I'd buy yours? If you can ganatee your product for what I'm looking for. I don't feel I'm asking much, I just want my inflation dollar to be worth what I'm paying for, does this make sense to you? I'm behind the 8ball, as I'm leaving Wednesday, and will be real with you, your product to me if you can straighten it out sounds perfect!

They have a 30 day warranty and that's the best I can do as I don't make any money off them, I even lose money if I ship east of the Mississippi. There's no meat on the bone to allow for the kind of upgrades Morrflate is doing without raising the price significantly. They are loss leader to drive accessory sales. All I can say is I've only had 3 returned out of around 700 sold so far. As much as I would like to have the sale, if you want absolute peace of mind Morrflate or ARB might be the better choice.

I'd rather support our members. I'd like to talk with you on the phone, but time has me pressed. That way I can learn about your product. I have a lot of cactus on the property, four-wheelers are flat all the time, see where I'm going? I am West of Mississippi so you should make money, Montana!

I appreciate that. I'm a Bronco guy first and a business man second, this is a side job for me something to help fund my toys. I started doing it because I was tired of the huge markups on 6G accessories. By offering the compressors at cost I found I get a lot of return customers for other accessories that I can make a little bit on.

PM me and I'll give you my cell. I don't want it public since I don't have business number.

 

[MThalfcab]

I will send you my cell phone when in hunting camp. The weather has me bouncing from one decision to the next, I just want to make sure you're compressor will work with the square body's
