    I understand the excitement of ordering something and wanting it to be there in 2 days like something cheesie from ebay, but it seems that guys and their trucks are worse than a girl who wants a pony or new cell phone for her birthday. Everyone is in such a hurry these days. Can we all just take a deep breath, drink a beer, smoke a bowl, pop meds, plan ahead, or whatever it takes to relax a little..? We only live once (as far as I know) so let's enjoy each day for what it is, call your mom, take a drive, watch tv, play with your new expensive phone or i-pad, these are truck parts, not oxygen for grandma. Am I alone on this, any other vendors have the nads to chime in? :notsure:

    We live in the "I need it now" generation. People get mad if a internet page on their phone loads too slow!

    LOL. I was pretty backed up (in the shop, not in the bowels) but I am making good progress and am getting caught up. Guess I just needed to rant a bit. I just feel bad for the guys who's large orders get pushed back due to the volume of small items that I get contacted about and have to get out before the PayPal dispute gets brought up. People have good patience for about 4 weeks then the demon starts rearing his head. I know of a large bumper company (name witheld out of respect) who had a 10 month waiting list. If I say it'll be 3 weeks it gets contemplated and probably not ordered. Yeah making this thread was probably a bad idea too, but I'm not a big company who has a plastic face, just a normal guy like everyone else here who likes a quality part and does his best to produce it and ship it. I've been told many times it was worth the wait.

    Hmmm looks like you are backed up. I guess I won't add to your list. My mall crawler can wait.

    Nah, don't so that, I'll get it out and do my best to make your deadline, I'll slip it ahead of other orders, but don't tell anyone ok? :p Fresh orders keep a small business' ball rolling, w/o them we go OOB. (out of business)

    Happens to me every day...in fact, it's happening right now! :)

    This sounds pretty damn good to me...but it's not a truck part I'm thinking of. A girfriend once called me the 3 minute man. :D

    You got me, I lied. ;)

    I think what happened this morning is I'm rushing to get overdue rock sliders out, and was contacted by a couple guys from the Tundra forum regarding those carrier bearing brackets, but a simple email with explanation has them up to speed again and now they're nice as can be. I truly do love the fact that forum members are great people and more than willing to be nice and wait a little as long as they know what's going on. I'm a pretty lucky guy to be able to deal with the people I do. (the 99% of them):)

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Eh, its just part of the way we have evolved, things just aren't slow paced like they used to be. I doubt many people would last if we were for some reason forced back into the horse drawn buggy days lol.
