    Anyone have any info on the elite off road bumpers? I was told 3 to 4 months when I ordered in the beginning of October... What the heck! I'm a little pissed off to say the least.

    This is the one thing that is holding up my entire project...

    That's what I'm afraid of... Wish there was at least a bit of communication rather than none at all.

    I was in the same boat.
    Bought and paid for in August of 2013.
    Received in March of 2014.

    His customer service is crap. He makes a GREAT looking product, but due to his customer service I would NOT do business with his company again.

    Best of luck with you and your bumper :thumbsup:

    Custom fab stuff takes along time. Faster service means more expensive and less quality.

    So was promised 3 seperate times and now two months past the last promised time. I at least got a response from my first email but now no responses from current emails. I'm pretty sure my bumper is where my money is and that's gone. Shame, I was really excited about this bumper. Guess I will buy local from now on.

    Whoever is looking for elite bumper, go else where!!!

    Check out the elite group buy thread. Sometimes he puts updates on there but its mainly guys in the same boat as you, still waiting to get their bumpers after almost a year.

    :cheers:
    Nailed it.

    I had to wait 7 months, granted the bumper is amazing work... however I've seen some others that are awesome. If you didn't want a hoop/half grill guard my other option would be Relentless Fab. They make some pretty sweet stuff

    I would go with someone else but problem is he has my money and seeing we he will not even answer for status update, I pretty much have no hope of getting my money back.

    In my experience phone calls, emails and PM's will eventually get you a response.

    I would consider Tim a lousy businessman, but I 'd hesitate to call him an outright crook.

    Give it another few days of blowing up his contacts before you lose all hope.

    No not a crook but pretty much as you said. Hire some more people to bring production up or stop taking orders, that's how I feel anyways.
