Detours still around?

Does anyone know if the company that made the KJ Backbone winch mount Detours USA is still around? Their website is up, but the phone number listed is not in service. According to the website they were moving and hoped to be open by January first, but it also says the site hasn't been updated since July. Any one here know these guys?

I hope they're still around. I was planning on ordering one of those, soon. Maybe try sending them a PM on here and see if the email notice gets their attention? Find their post in the vendors section and maybe see if there's any better/different contact info there.

Detour moved from CT to KY and is in the process of settling in and setting up the new shop. Should be up and running soon...

Update - I was in contact with Detour yesterday. He hasn't been on any boards since thankgiving. He just found a location for his shop - he's currently fixing it up and will be moving in the equipment soon. He has a tentative opening date of February 15th. The website will be updated sometime after that.

"'I'm going to change the previously stated re-opening date from Feb 15th to March 3rd, for all the right reasons. :mrgreen:

Take some time to enjoy the new surroundings, then have an open house for all of us in this area!!

Any idea what the back log will be like. I have been trying to get a Backbone, but if it is going to be June or July, then I will have a local fabricator make something up for me. I have gotten no response to any of the emails yet.

Is March 3rd still the official launch date? I hope he doesn't have a six month backlog.

I'm wondering the same thing ????

Well it's March 5th and the Detours site is still saying January 1. I tried to call Marks cell phone and leave a message yesterday and have not received a call back yet. Anyone know what's going on with these guys?

Detours still around?
