Chris - Just PM'd ya
Hopefully you're just taking less orders now or offering up an extended wait time upfront.... We're crossing our fingers that you're not slowing production of orders though!!

I Got a tracking number. Ordered a little under 6 months ago, but just a front. my bumper diddnt arrive yesterday when it was supposed to according to Fed ex. So I called them cause it never got past the "initiative" stage of shipping. They said he hasn't told them to pick it up yet or something. What's weird is I still had an estimated delivery date lol

School ain't doing you much good with that long run on. While I agree the wait times are rather extreme, it is a quality product and the common theme as of the last year in this thread has been the lead time on these is pretty long.

Im aware mine isnt the only one and bc i didnt have access to a welder my dad suprised me with one for my graduation/birthday present n i didnt say i have "mad" fab skills but i also know that it doesnt take long to make a bumper. I got my rear bumper from ares fab and they finished it in a week and my dad got his front and rear bumpers for a zj which are more complicated in less than a month from logans and nates.

I didnt say i took english classes lol. I actually went to school for welding. The wait times are understandable with the bumpers for the price i understand that. What made me mad is no communication and when he would reply hed say oh it'll ship next shipment. If that were the case i woulda had it long ago.

Let's keep it on topic here...
I ordered both a front and rear - supposedly my front is done and the rear has been almost complete for the last month or so. Chris offered to send me the front last month, but i offered to let him hang on to it and ship it with the rear to try to save him some shipping $$. At this point, i haven't heard from the guy in a few days and he hasn't posted anything back up here so....
I understand that this is an awesome quality product that's worth the wait. I also knew that there'd be a long wait time of likely several months when buying in. That wait time was assumed to be measured in MONTHS... At this rate, we're going to be touching the 1 yr+ mark very soon... While i understand a bit of an extended wait due to some extenuating circumstances on Chris's part, the wait is getting a bit excessive even taking that into account, especially when i see others getting their bumpers in lesser time than myself!!!
