Who did you order it from?
Northridge also, but they said more like 4 weeks. No dual stage coating here and only got the backup lights, no other options. Well, I guess I'm just gonna have to wait....

No problems it was pretty straight forward. A couple things don't use washers on the head side of the bolts (picture in the directions shows washers) that go trough the frame on the side they won't work anyways also the pieces of metal that has 2 holes in it goes on the inside of the frame on those bolts as a washer.

It took about 2-3 hours taking our sweet time. Make sure you have help the bumper part weighs 150lbs the whole thing is 200lbs. I love how customizable it is there holes to add thing all over the place.

I got all of the options except fuel carriers.

I do not have this but looking at it I do not see anyway this tire carrier will not rattle there are no rubber bumpers to press against the door heck even the expensive ones rattle if you do not set them up right. But besides that it looks fine.
