I dont think it was necessarily completely because of unruly customers per say but a combination of long hours, some back problems and wanting to retire and rest some. But of course the people that went out and tried to break the birf just for warranty purposes probably didnt help and Id imagine itd get to be pretty tiring hearing all of the trash talk after somebody actually did go out and break one. He made an excellent product and hopefully he will just take a break for a couple years and then come back but if not then at least we know that the technology is out there to make a stronger toy front axle and maybe someday somebody else will do something similar to this.
l8r :D

Longfield crisis averted. The production of them will continue, however, Bobby will not be selling them directly to the public. They will be sold through Alan @ rockbuggysupply. No more warrenty and no more used cores. They will all be made from new birfs. There is no price set as of yet either.

More people are going to sell them than those two above....they have 3-5 people in mind to sell the longfields. They are going to be priced at $220.00 per joint, and yes they will not take cores anymore. Shows who goes to POR...I did not even Know Camo had a web site....is he selling Gliter with every order :D
