Crap I hope not that long! I just ordered the midwidth front bumper and the rear bumper with 6" led cut outs. Was told by several dealers 4-6 weeks. I like their quality but damn! Long wait . Hopefully they can improve manufacturing time a little. But its made in america so........ now I can scrap my rugged ridge front bumper.

Well it's now 5/23 and still no fenders. Emailed them again and now am told 2 mores weeks. It will be over two months. At this point I think I should of gone with something else. If not here by next Friday, I think I will cancel. Ugh. Trying to be patient but that's unreal.

Their powdercoater sucks and does such a thin coat I had rust in 6 weeks on them!
Just bedline them yourself or get them gone locally.

I ordered a set yesterday after getting tired of looking at my scratched up faded plastic fenders. Matt at Rebel Off Road called them and said 3 weeks no powdercoat and 4 weeks with.
The wait begins.
I have the rock rails and I like them with the rubi rails and they've taken some good hits. Rustoleum flat black and then the undercoat spary matches the powder coat pretty well. Doesn't matter too much, because they are dirty as soon as you step on them. I'm just looking to keep them black and keep the rust away.

This trend is what I really notice with jeep community. If things are not working out with the supply chain, why can't the company just let the customers know that I'll take 6+ months or whatever ridiculous time it'll take rather than lying about "quick" turnaround to get a quick buck? It's cool that jeep communities are supporting Made in America but damn, it feels like some of them are forcing buyers to buy overseas products that are quick to receive.
OP: what was ACE's excuse on why they didn't ship your product when they said they would? I would've cancelled it awhile ago and got something else instead of playing their game.
