Pulled myself off the email list, and paper catalogs for them as soon as I saw this thread pop up. However they still send me emails and catalogs. had to mark them as junk, permanently..
I don't know what it is with all the companies ripping me off lately but this is just ridiculous. I've worked hard to come up with my JK logo and paid good money to have it registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office - Registration Number: 3,422,569 (Int. Cl.:9 / Prior U.S. Cls.: 21, 23, 26, 36 and 38). One would think that in a small community like this, a company trying to sell parts would show a bit more discretion. :naw:

Eddie,
This is Dave with ExtremeTerrain. We spoke a while back about advertising opportunities on Project-JK and Wayalife, and you sent me some information about your ad packages. At the time we were still unsure of exactly what direction we were looking to go, but have gotten a clearer idea of what we are looking for in an ad agreement.
When we last spoke I had mentioned that ExtremeTerrain would be interested in being a source of content, in addition to an advetiser. Seeing that you do product reviews and install guides, ExtremeTerrain would love to be a source of products for you to cover on your sites. We understand that the products in question should be interesting, and we definitely have some that are unique, interesting, and relevant to a true Jeep audience. For example, our Barricade Trail Force HD Front Bumpers with LED Lighting have been a huge hit, and a product review or install guide on them would definitely draw your audience's attention.
It would be great to continue discussing a potential partnership, and I would really like to hear back from you to get some information. Please shoot me an email, or you can reach me at ....
Regards,
Dave

Friend of mine gave me an extreme terrain catalog a while back. The first thing I saw was the ripoff jk stickers. Their in house line of products doesn't look too appealing.
Totally scummy that they stole your idea and sell it illegally. The only partnership I'd consider with them is sharing a date in court.
They'll never see a dollar of my money.

On March 31, 2014, ExtremeTerrain.com (XT) was first informed that it was selling a vinyl product for Jeep Wrangler JKs that made use of a design that was created by Mr. Eddie Oh and used on his website, Project-JK.com. ExtremeTerrain.com removed the item from its website the same day it received this letter. As of the date of this statement, XT is happy to announce it has amicably settled the matter with Mr. Oh.
ExtremeTerrain.com apologizes for the fact that our product made use of Mr. Oh’s trademark without his permission. While there is no argument that this product did make use of the trademark, XT did not intentionally do so. One of XT’s designers had seen the image in a context that did not make it apparent that the design was unique or owned by Mr. Oh/Project-JK.com. We here at XT are sorry for the mistake and have taken actions to ensure that such a situation does not happen again.
Hey everyone, I wanted you all to know that I just received the following written apology from Xtreme Terrain.
