I missed most of the comments against Matt, but probably unlike dieter I've actually met and spent time with Matt...a few years in Moab back he rode along with me on Fins 'n Things after his truck broke down on the trail. I have talked to him regularly ever since.

I consider Matt to be a very nice guy, and amazingly patient with what has to be an unending stream of newbie/dumbass questions (some of them mine), all while he is trying to get a ton of work done at his shop.

And from a pragmatic standpoint for the Isuzu community, without Matt's efforts (and cold hard cash) there would NOT be Aussie lockers for Isuzu axles, Heavy Duty Isuzu tie rods, or any of the other Isuzu-specific products Independent4x offers. Nobody else is doing it...period. A few vendors make a few products for Isuzus (like ARB/OME, Joe Darlington, can't really count Calmini any more) but that's it. Independent4x is the only full-service shop/vendor out there that is servicing our community.

If you have a specific problem with Independent4x or Matt personally then by all means let's hear it and I promise we will evaluate your complaint on it's own merits...but nebulous "he's a jerk" complaints don't help anybody.
