Sidewinder Customs Billet Pulley Sets

[00RedRT]

Here's your chance to save some money and get in on a Group Buy for a complete custom billet pulley set for the 3.9/5.2/5.9. These pulleys are available in either a polished aluminum finish, or a triple plated chrome finish. They are normally priced at $850 plus shipping for the polished set, and $950 plus shipping for the chrome version. The Group Buy price will be $800 w/ FREE shipping included for the polished version, or $900 w/ FREE shipping included for the chrome version.

We need at least 5 folks to make this happen. If we exceed 5 buyers, I maybe able to get these even cheaper. If you add your name in here, please be a serious buyer as we don't need folks backing out at the last minute. I'll leave this thread up until we reach 5 buyers at that point I will need to collect funds from everyone to place the GB order. Here's the current GB participants....

1. WraithR/T
2. Starscream
3. Poisonous
4. 2K R/T
5.

Just installed my viper fan... these are looking really good right now :drool:

Are they underdrive or just stock

[00RedRT]

Are they underdrive or just stock

Stock size. I went down the underdrive route before and had nothing but cooling and charging issues, so these are all stock size.

[Citrus Dragon]

Gotcha,

[WraithR/T]

Any chance on extending that deal to the 15th?

[Starscream]

I think I already know the answer to this, but what are the pros and cons of polish vs chrome?

Sure, it's pretty much going to be extended until we can reach 5 folks at least. So far, nobody has put their name down officially.:huh:

[02roadtrack]

What years do they fit, up to 00 I guess.

[00RedRT]

I think I already know the answer to this, but what are the pros and cons of polish vs chrome?

Pros of Polished....

-Won't chip or flake off
-Finish can be brought back to life with some elbow grease

Pros of Chrome....

-Plated metal that doesn't scratch easily
-Finish is easy to up keep

Cons of each are pretty much the Pros of the other.

[00RedRT]

What years do they fit, up to 00 I guess.

Not year dependent, but engine dependent. These will fit the 3.9/5.2/5.9 Magnum engines.

[ihtanni]

if only you made them for the 4.7l.... any plans to in the future? those are badass... :drool:

[00RedRT]

I'm testing the waters with this first set. If these sell well, then I'll look into the 3.7/4.7 series.

[ihtanni]

yeah, given the cost, it'd take a little saving up for, and i still need to do my suspension and brakes before i think of doing any other projects...

[WraithR/T]

ohhhhh.....well if it can wait till the 15th you have my money guaranteed.

[00RedRT]

OK, you sir are #1 on the list then. Now we need 4 more to make this happen.:anyone:

I see thanks for the info.

So anyway add me to the list for a polish set.

10-4. First post updated to reflect current GB participants.

[DakRat33]

a lil rich for me @ this time....but they look good

[WraithR/T]

Come on fellas we need 3 more people.

You all know Darren only does great work. So, these will be the sh!t.

Money, money, money....in that order:bump:

[threesixoh]

if they were half that price I'd be all over it, but as is those are a bit spendy for me.

Thanks John! Picked up a 3rd tonight, so 2 more and we can get this order rolling.:mullet:

[WraithR/T]

:bump:

Any news on the other 2?

[00RedRT]

Not yet. Lots of interest, but no additional commitments just yet. Hopefully by the end of this week I can fill the last two spots. Went to a car show this weekend and met an '01 Durango owner with the 5.9 who seemed interested, but still not sure.:huh:

[R/Tdurango02]

They do look great and i actually looked at them on the site but thats a crazy ass amount of money for a few shinney pulleys. Half the price youd probably sell the shit outa them imo. $850 can get me lots of other things

[WraithR/T]

Check prices for full billet pulley kits made by other companies. This is a good deal.

While I certainly appreciate your comments, I hope you understand that custom made pulleys can get incredibly expensive to manufacture. If you look into similar pulley kits (I say similar because their has not been a direct kit for this engine made until now) you would see that some of those prices from Billet Specialties, March Performance, Zoops, etc.... can be in the $1500 to $2000 price range for complete kits. And remember those are huge companies that can produce hundreds of kits and have them stocked. I have these for sale on a made to order basis and I'm at nearly half the price of most other kits out there.

They may not be for everyone, but that just makes them a more unique item and certainly set off an engine bay.

[R/Tdurango02]

I deffinately wish I had the money to spend on them and not car since they are gorgious and the quality is fantastic, but untill I do great product anyhow

[00RedRT]

:bump:

[Poisonous]

No luck yet??

[00RedRT]

Nope. Still at 3 and holding. I'm going to give till the end of this month (2 weeks). At that time if we have 5 buyers , great. If not I'll see what I can do to still make this happen for those of you who have already commited and have been very patient waiting for additional participants. I won't abandon you guys.

[IndyDurango]

Darren,

Does that mean that after the 3 or 5 folks, they will not be available again or that the GB pricing is gone?

[00RedRT]

:bump: Tomorrow is the last day to get in on this Group Buy.

[Starscream]

what happens for the three of us on this list?

Just wondering since you said you wouldn't abondon us.

I'll proceed with the 3 of you guys. Whatever the difference is I'll have to absorb it unless the manufacturer is feeling generous and will make me three sets at the GB price. But I'm not counting on it. Either way you guys should not have to suffer cause nobody else stepped up for the 4th & 5th spots.

[00RedRT]

:bump: OK, new update time. My pulleys manufacturer is slammed till SEMA for any custom work, so I'm extending the deadline to get in the on Group Buy until mid-November. At that time I'll collect funds and place the order to get these made.

Custom + Dodge= back burner for these manufacturing companies so again big thanks to the initial 4 guys in the GB for their patience.
