1st & 2nd Gen rear corner GROUP BUY!

I was checking out the site after I saw Evilmonkey's sweet tube bumper you guys made him. I noticed the corners are no longer on the site. Did we hit a snag?

The corners were never on the site. Should have pics tonight.

I just realized you were talking about the item to buy. Which was a group buy specific item. You'll notice all the slider "group buy" items are gone from the site as well now that the group buys are over.

1st & 2nd Gen rear corner GROUP BUY!

We're not quite to the ship date stage but we are getting there. We are green lighting the cutting of a full run of 1 gen corners tomorrow. We hope it's a larger enough cut job to see them turned around to us by the end of next week.

It's frustrating not having a plasma table in house. We're working on that too.

I totally just posted in the wrong thread.

My fault guys.


For corners we are waiting on parts back from the cutter. We are in process of making jigs.

Once we get the first sets back we will confirm our jigs produce good results, make any necessary changes and go full balls into production of these. The he plan for all this is over the next ~10-14 business days. We then have 2 weeks of production dedicated to corners. Then powder. We are shooting for fulfillment of everything by sometime between the end of the month and the middle of April.

04/21/2015 Glad you guys found potential issues with the jigs and are correcting them. This is no issue.

we have 1 more correction to make to our plasma cutting profile. We have been waiting on our plasma cutter to get back round to our order. Currently we are on his schedule for this week. We just have to verify the change gets us where we want to be then we can go into full production. I do apologize for the delay. I wanted to get these out more quickly, but I also want them to be right. Better individual part fitment will mean better weld quality and an overall better product.

05/28/2015 What changed from 05/15? If they weren't cut yet how were they going to be out by the end of the previous week?

I've seen no 2g pics yet. I understand the issues of the jigs and having to correct. However, I am curious if this wait and the corrections have just been for the batch of 1g and 2g has not been started yet. Can we get any clarification?

Any news? I was told they would be shipped by 3/31. It's 2 and a half months past that. Do we have a new ship date? I've been waiting for a reply at Club Xterra but that doesn't seem to be happening so I figured I'd post here.

This is an email I received from Mac on Tuesday the 16th: (I think costing means working)

"We are costing in on getting them produced. I'm buried in work right now. Making the step functional was a challenge but we have it figured.

Can we get any update on this? I don't have Facebook where I hear some people got updates and I am never off work till after business hours to call.

We're coming up on a month since last update. Posts were frequent when it came to getting people to sign up. Yet now they're nonexistent. I apologize if that comes across as rude but it is also a fact.

If this isn't possible, I understand. It was a new prototype product. If they're are further delays, I understand. But this needs to be communicated.

Yeah...I had ordered my steering kit in Janurary and haven't heard from Mac since March. I am lucky that he didn't collect my money up front...so I am out just a stock style center link and 6 months of time...so I realize my situation isn't nearly as disappointing as the group buys questionable status.

I had been extremely patient as I figured the group buys were keeping them busy, and obviously a higher priority for the business. In his defense, he did send me some stock parts back enough to get my truck rolling after the time line was dragged out by a few months...but still ignored basic questions like "When can the center link be completed?" and "Have you quit working on the link due to your group buys?"

All I wanted was a straight answer and some communication but he became more dodgy and non-responsive as time had gone by. Originally was projected to be a 2 week turn around time. Disappointing all around, since it did appear they were doing good fabrication work...just not good business managers.

Pretty sure I did my deposit with PayPal. Should be able to get it back.

Hope you selected paying for goods or services and not money to a friend/family. I got ripped off on a set of skids where the fabricator didn't want to pay the fees so he only accepted cash or paypal to friends/family. Surprise, he quit responding to my calls and texts and never made my skids.

And yes...we are being ignored. They are probably way beyond, incurred more costs than they budgeted for, and are having a hard time keeping up and not wanting to admit it. Their facebook page certainly looks active and paints a nice pretty picture of their work.

At this point I think it's safe to say deposits are gone and metal corners are a pipedream.

Not sure what that's about. Haven't been on the forums in a while.

I've been traveling, more than extensively for work - 100 hour weeks fur the last 4 months. the guy we hired in the shop stopped showing up so essentially we have been a 1 man operation for quite a while now. And being small potatoes we are sitting waiting for parts to get into our hands. Yes we're behind. Yes we're still working. 1st gens are ready to go soon as we are the parts.

I'm as frustrated as you guys about all this and more at this point. But I'm not stealing anyone's money. Everyone will get what they paid for. Yes, we are going to lose our ass on these and they are going to be beautiful.

Good to hear, that's all we ask is for an update so that we at least know what is going on.
