I'm sorry to say this but after more than 25 years of building Prowler products I'm cutting back.
Due to higher production costs and declining sales along with the fact that I just don't want to work as hard as I always have, it's time to scale back.

I've sold my last Wonder Bar and will not be making any more.
I am also ceasing production of my trailer latch reinforcement kits.

My shop will still supply my Prowler friends with Hinge Protectors, Mudflap Brackets and Heat Shields.

Upright Trailer Stands and KatRack luggage Carriers were discontinued quite a while back.

Larry -
Thank you for being the innovator of so many high quality and useful products for our Prowlers.
I have your Wonder Bar, turn signals, hinge protectors, fuel pump, and window regulators on my car.

Thank you again for your efforts and genuine creativity.

Larry, are there any Trailer Reinforcement kits left ? I would need one more. I will order the heat Shields Monday and the trunk brackets. I've got three trailer stands now, two reinforcement brackets, two Wonder bars, two Hinge protector kits, All of my locks are from you. Why am I not familiar with the Mudflap Brackets ? I'll have to look again.

Ditto on Thank You for making some truly unique, useful and quality products all these years. Thank you!

John

Larry, we all have to call it at some point. You’ve been a good vendor over the years but we all know it’s not really profitable.

Thank you all for your comments. I appreciate them. I've always enjoyed designing and building parts for our cars.

Since John, Kirk and Lynn need a trailer latch kit, I'm going to make one last batch of eleven kits.
These last kits will cost $37.95 each plus shipping. I'll have them done and ready to ship by mid May.

This batch will only be eleven total kits and it will be my last production run.
If you want one or more, please send me a PM. I will notify you when they are ready to ship.
My shop will still produce hinge protectors, heat shields and mud flap brackets.

We got one of the last Wonderbars and wow, does it make a difference!! I can't say that the car handles like a wiffleball anymore (which is what I advertised). It actually handles like a modern car, it doesn't wander like it used too and my fillings stay in my head now.

If you ever change your mind about making more wonder bars, I would definitely want one. I just got my car last week and missed out on them. Thanks Larry.

Just ordered a latch reinforcement kit. I done my own reinforcement but I figured more is better. When I looked at my trailer the other day I noticed one of my latch bolts had come loose. Better safe than sorry.

I too just purchased my Prowler with its original stabilizer. I’m seeing others on the internet but based upon all I read here, you were the GOTO person. If you change your mind and make one more batch, KY WILDCAT will be a grateful customer.
