(not flaming, just curious)

[LOW S-10]

Slam'R ftw!

[V8Blaze]

he was talking about this on ssm a while back, that if they didnt want to sell to him he would make his own to compete. Im all for competition but this dude is a dick, he has a different bag everytime someone else makes a new one. I really dotn care if his parts ever become a good quality, its tatics like this IMO are what make people hate most things with air suspension. Just childish bullshit

[Famous4Life]

yea i read about it on ssm a few months ago... i lol'd quite a bit.. lol

Do none of the companies that shAIM is copying have trademarks or patents on their products? It seems like pretty clear infringement to me.

[hamagc]

i agree. it def. does appear that way. they even slander the names. but i'm no lawyer.

Neither am I, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.

:crickets chirp:

Seriously, if you're "designing" a product that looks exactly like another product and the name is the same with maybe a letter or two changed, then it seems obvious to me that you're trying to use the reputation of company A to benefit your company via misleading consumers to purchase your product.

[hamagc]

Haha

[hamagc]

but seriously i agree. and i thought the same thing when they came out with their denominator line of bags.

I believe you just have to have enough of a difference to get away with it.

BUT, a lot of the beloved companies on this forum do the exact SAME thing. The clearest example would be the SS mirrors they ALL try to pass off as Street Scenes.

From what I hear, Joe Morrow said Slam Specialties patent is up, and they're being produced in the same factory, however they will only be available in single port bags

[ka_jd7and1]

I don't know, I'm sure there are better legal minds on the site than me. As far as I knew if the product was similar and the name was similar there is a potential for confusion, and a lawsuit.

[goldenrider18]

AIM sucks the end.
there was a feature truck in truckin and then it said it had a AIM 4 link and the guy had a built 350 i was like he must not ever drive that thing

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT MADE IN THE SAME FACTORY.

Slam Specialties facility (where the bags are manufactured) is a 10 minute drive from us here, in Fresno, CA USA.

[orangesonoma]

i hate them...but you know what they say...bad publicity is still publicity...as long as it gets the people talking...its the worlds worst way to operate a company .... i still hate there company...i still have the minitrucking mag where he says he sold the company..then a few weeks later he is back like he never left...

[layNrkr]

Joe states on SSM s10F is a closed society and no one allows him to speak haahahahahaahaha

I do not copy anyone. Go back to Truckin Magazine for the past 15 years to 1994 and see who copied who. S10 Forum just beats me up all day, all nite, and they DO NOT ALLOW me to reply in defense. How fair is that? Firestone copied Goodyears bag, Continental copied Firestones bag, Slam Specialties copied their bag from years of prior molding to alumunim tops. 22 years, I am still in business, must be doing something right. Send your postings to S10 Forum, ask them why they are afraid to let me post.
It is because they are a CLOSED society, and afraid of having the members being able to make up their own minds from ACTUAL FACTS instead of hiding behind their keyboards.
SSM on the other hand, gives me an opportunity to defend myself and gives the opportunity to their members to sort fact from keyboard fiction.
Thank you for your posting, but if you really want to learn the facts, then ask S10 Forum what they are AFRAID of.. the truth? How can it be the truth when only one side is heard.



Joe Morrow

haha afraid? im sure the members of this forum would run him out and he is just pissed that we will not remove there hate filled replies..

[layNrkr]

see on SSM when someone gets so far with the way they feel they just delete what was said, here people getta say what they want cause its true and he doesnt like hearing there for he sucks at life

[orangesonoma]

yep thats the it in a nut shell..

[layNrkr]

because SSM takes his money and he advertises all over it and im sure people remember the issues when Joe was going to sue and SSM was going to get shut down and no hes like a owner over there...

[orangesonoma]

yeah i heard about that...here even our advertisers rarely remove threads that are negative since they turn them around to very very positive threads that shows there great customer support

[layNrkr]

http://www.airbagit.com/SearchResult...earch=slam+bag

last i heard they went from $35 to $39 yet online they are more then slams...

[jwillie000]

could we get a ban on the name aim

[layNrkr]

you gonna advertise on s10forum? theres not any poin in that Joe,no one listen to anything, and only talk down on AIM. stick to SSM
---------------------------------------------
I am most definitely sticking with SSM... no question about it. But I had the same issues with negative postings on SSM, and SSM and the Members have stepped up!!

I have the same fish to fry at S10 Forum, and it should be interesting following the posts, and you can believe that I will ALWAYS POINT the S10 Forum Members BACK TO SSM.
It was a tough climb with SSM, but cooler heads prevailed at the end of the day.

I sincerely thank you and all of the members of SSM for allowing my presence on the Forum. I think that Kris and Bob are going to Co-Sponser project trucks with me and we are going to take it to a higher level.

Thank you for your post, but I am a glutton for punishment and I am going to let them try to punish me... Joe



Joe Morrow

thought id share why not right...

[orangesonoma]

remember the minitruckin where there was 26 pages of there ads...im pretty sure that is why they lost half of there loyal readers...

[96blazer]

Joe and SSM are working together ($$$$$$$).

SSM is on the same level of FAIL as Joe and all his companies.

To a certain extent, I do believe that this forum has their mind set on certain companies and that most people bash on AIM. I have bought from AIM, suicidedoors, Krid Dye Fabrications and others and in past and I've never had any issues with them. Had a chance to talk to Joe about sponsorship for one of our shows and he generously donated and when I ordered a few fittings from them and sent me the wrong ones, they sent me the right one for free and free shipping and did not want the others back...I think that was great customer service. I've mentioned this in another thread before...I've never had issues with AIM as far as products and customer service and if I need something that I need and they carry same items, better price, I'd shop at AIM again... I've had much worse customer service from some of the "preferred" companies in here before... Just my 2 cents

dude listen..i ordered a steel roll pan..they sent me a fiberglass one...i sent it back and they charged me a 20% restocking fee for the returned fiberglass one...on top of that i had to pay shipping again for the steel one

great service

[truedetailer]

thats funny.

you go to their site and click on the about us sction.

It has more in it telling people about how other companies and forums are bad and they are better, to simply put it. Seems like he's a little butt hurt over something. Any companies about us section should be about who they are and what they can do for you not all about the other guys and internet forums?

I don't even read the mags anymore. I used to get every issue of mini trucking when i was younger, now its just a waste. Its nothing but ads, not just from aim but countless companies. They should have limit how many pages were for features and how many for ad space. But people are greedy.

[djremix]

That's your case, it doesn't happen to everyone...like I said, I never had issues with them.
