I wouldn't buy even a spark plug from ORPS.
Their lift kit (which is the most expensive lift kit I have seen) was taken and the design was copied without permission of the gentleman who spent a lot of time, resources and effort testing and designing. ORPS did not design this kit.
Is this a sign of a company someone wants to do business with?
Is ORPS even a site sponsor here on kitty at snowmobiles web site?
This is going to open up a can of worms with Jim. He will defend the parts he sells as legit. But we all know the truth about where this kit came from and it isn't ORPS. They count of a large volume of sales to make money off this kit because they aren't making much with the manufacturing costs wih star less steel.

You might want to be careful about calling people out about speaking the truth, your right about what can be found by going back a few years . Notice the date on this post of yours. Yeah, you took the design and improved on it but that was before the drawings were released. The little note to you on that drawing (you know the one im talking about) tells why.

I have no idea about any release before 2012. Yet you choose to only mention this now. Why not before I busted you with a post you forgot to cleanup or the shitstorm few years ago? Still wanna go back in time? Ok,when did you sell your first lift? He gave it away because you besmirched his name and your still beating that drum.

you have proved nothing
we have never denied getting it from dan and improving it
as for being a thief ,he gave it away so I think you need to relook up definition of thief
anyways call as you want we have the kit and people continue to buy from us, as we have it and nobdy else is offering it
so your opinion is yours, if your life is that bad that this gives you pleasure, I don't care
henry ford did not invent the car he improved so is he a thief also

I think I have proved it, and quite well. Where, when and who you got the design from is obvious (from your own admissions) you tried to change your story when called out but have no evidence to support your claims. Just because you won or the only one left in no way changes what you are. Many fortune 500 companies got to be what they are from the same type of actions. Kudos to you. Dont confuse yourself with Henry ford, he was an innovator and leader of industry. You are only what I have already pointed out and nothing more. Believe me when I say I take no pleasure in knowing people like you exist.

Now this is where you again say I'm wrong and that I dont fully understand everything that went on (yet STILL offer no prof to the contrary) or reiterate that your the only one left and make people happy bla, bla, bla, maybe even correct my spelling or grammar. Just accept it you are what you are, if I was you I probably would not want to face the facts either. You can lie to yourself but you cant lie to me.

Boy this got heated. I emailed dan the man several years back and made my own. I did all the fabrication myself and had the rear skid lift plates lasered from mild steel sheet and I spent around $65.00. So $150.00 may be a little high, but all you have to do is install it. Imo, stainless steel is way overkill, plus it is double in price for material. Without access to a metal working machine, (knee mill, drill press ECT) it would be difficult to produce the kit. I had zero issues going off of dan the mans drawings.

In the title block of each print it said:

If that helps. At the time I didnt think much about it.
