I suspect both ADV and APG have had this outcome planned for months. I think they gave up on production several months ago and have been buying time ever since.

Likely it fell apart when the offshore manufacture (Temu) sent them a clip of their mfg operations with some hardtops, then ADV pawned it off as their own.

Wouldn’t be surprised if ADV files for bankruptcy and dissolves, likely planned out well in advance and don’t be shocked if they have new ventures already in motion.

As for APG, it’s just a guy who leased a shop and does installations, literally nothing more - doesn’t make anything outside of well-edited content.

But heck, what do I know… I’ve only been right about every prediction for the past 2 years.

This reminds me, somewhere earlier in this chat someone posted information about a new LLC being formed under Johns name. Someone speculated something like this too suggesting ADV is about to go under, get your refunds now. If only this was a smaller thread. Not riffling through hundreds of pages lol

Geez, sorry for everyone who is looking likely to me losing a lot of money in this mess.

The OEM hard top that came from the factory on my bronco is feeling like pretty fantastic quality right now though.

So the pile of steaming shit in your hand is worth two piles of steaming shit in the bushes?

Yea
One pile of shit I paid for in my hand is better than the pile of shit I paid for that doesn’t exist

When you go on vacation for only week....and come back to the site and wonder "Why are their 40 new pages on the ADV thread in just a few days???".....Holy shit, glad I got out when I did. Wishing all the best for any who were holding on.

Many of us have been preaching this for months in this thread. It was surprising to me that regular members of this forum continued to hang in there with their deposits as long as they did - I guess everyone’s appetite for risk is different.

I really feel for people outside of this forum who are at risk of losing their money. The meltdown in the Facebook groups right now is epic.

I mean, this has far eclipsed the great webasto pause of 2021. Possibly down the road if MICs start failing an even larger debacle could emerge, but I think the failure rate of them probably won't be so widespread.

Just finished my Taco Bell, now time to catch up on what's been missed from yesterday. From the looks of things, I may not have eaten enough Taco Bell.

Thought some of you should know those fancy $150k for parts/labor only ProRunners were funded by your hardtop money. This entire thing was a ponzi scheme by APG. That fancy ProRunner’s that have been built are allegedly subsidized from your hard top deposits

In other words, those prorunners we've been oogling over wishing we could buy, you actually did buy, a portion of it at least

Taco Bell has two cycles. You can catch up on more reading as it leaves your body.

I think the bigger question is if APG hardtop is made in the woods, can ADV pre-sale it? or something like that.

Taco Casa is the real TB flex. IYKYK.

That new ProRunner that @LiteBrite Nation received I can only imagine was significantly subsidized through some marketing arrangement they had with Lite Brite, subsidization that came from your hard top deposits

Cocaine isn’t cheap! ADV customer deposits to save the day.
