I don't mean to be a dick so please don't hate me but you all have heard the horror stories about shrockworks and there long wait time. I'm not trying to take business away from Shrock I think they make good stuff but you all know the wait time people have been having yet you still buy it then complain about the wait time. When I bought my PJ bumper I had almost the same thing and told myself I wouldn't do it again so when I finally decided on a rear bumper and sliders I'm going to end up going with LoD. Their products look great and there lead time is about a month.

Now I understand about first come first serve but the 2-3 months clearly isn't true and they know it. Too many people waiting 4+ months.
Exactly..I'm starting to get a little upset. It'll be 6 months on March 1st and that is twice the "lead time". Sure, you can dog me for complaining, but I spent a pretty penny for a product that has yet to be delivered. It's not like we're talking about a few bucks here.

Man I can't wait to receive my front stubby....bumper that is....
it is funny (at least for me, not the guys waiting I'm sure) how this thread changed , I wouldn't wait 6 months for a bumper I don't care how good it seems, it takes 9 months to have a baby, bumpers should be faster

Default shrockworks bumpers

Hello all,

I ordered my Shrockworks bumpers at the end of Dec 08. I just rec'd the midi front 3 weeks ago and still waiting for the full length rear with jerry can holders & rack. I too am getting impatient . I must say that the front bumper was well worth the wait. the install was easy, just needed a second hand with the skid plate getting the bolts started due to the weight. Now that I have the front installed I can't very well cancel the order and go with another brand. I guess I am in it for the long run, don't have much choice! Hopefully I will get it before the Mega Meet West Coast on June 27th. Kevin assured me I would.

I can understand everyone being uupset with the wait times. I got their front stubby a while back and only had to wait about 3 weeks. I don't know what's going on with them but it's my understanding they are a small custom shop and maybe they are covered up. I love my front bumper. The work and craftsmanship are second to none. When things get better on the finances, I'll order from them again. With waiting in mind.

I would say I have been less then impressed with them. I ordered my rock rails in mid Dec and got them the start of May. I know there was a long lead time so the length did not completely surprise me. What really upset me was there customer service. I never once heard from them and every time I called they gave me a different date. First end of FEB then Mid March then they were done but at the shipping department for three weeks. They only seemed to respond to my emails about half the time. The quality of product is OUTSTANDING but I don't I will do business with them again.
