So mbryson is going to run the rubicon next week? Hope all is well man. It's been a LONG time since I've been on this forum. I think I may be going through the rubicon next week at the same time. Who else is in your group? Anyone that I know?
All I can say about Tom Wood is that he has easily given me the best customer service anyone can ask for. On two seperate occasions he went over and above his call of duty to make me happy and I know he ate $$$'s doing it.
