    Unsolicited & unpaid testimony here ..:D:D.. Had a diamond plate version on last Tacoma and it was great and saved the tailgate.

    He builds good stuff and you get it in a decent amount of time too.

    Sold several of my Tacomas to people on here as well as some of my parts. Met some cool people on here in real life.

    order sent.........

    May be a problem with the order tab....says steel weighs more, 24lbs, than alum, got a price for shipping 13 lb alum part from web site as $37, but when finished it gave weight of 24lbs and increased shipping to $40

    Somebody posted a few pages back about shipping to Canada, but I didn't see a response. Does anyone know if Relentless ships to Canada? I know I can't chose shipping to Newfoundland, Canada through his website, but that doesn't mean he definitely won't ship.

    I PM'd him and he said he'd be willing to do it if we organized the shipping ourselves. Otherwise he mentioned that he doesn't ship to Canada.

    Now I just have to figure out how to set up the shipping myself... :confused:

    For canadian shipments we've been burned on additional fees too many times so I've stopped offering it. I will package an item and provide package dimensions and weight along with our origin location for a customer to arrange their own shipping and just email us a label to affix to the package.
    We have UPS come by almost daily and FedEx is near by as well so either of them are easy for us to hand off your package

    We've been making them for a couple years now. I have 1 powder coated steel in stock, slight blemish on it that I'd let go for a bit of a deal if interested.

    @RelentlessFab I was just pricing out one of the aluminums ones to be shipped to neighboring Utah (SLC, 84105) and got a $120 estimate. Does that sound right? Some of the other shipping quotes in this thread are much less for much father, but I realize they're a few years old.

    its very well possible that it is correct. There've been annual rate increases by UPS(our system pulls real time info from UPS' system) and we've updated packaging on the panels in the last couple years as well. The updated packing is larger and better protects the product and allows us to better follow UPS' guidelines for protecting an item to meet insurance claim requirements, but does push the panels into the Oversize shipment category and dimensional weight of around 75lbs. Those would be the reasons for the high shipping charges.
