BAMF 3rd Gen Recessed Raptor Style Grille

This is a real life example. http://bayareametalfab.com/2016-and-2017-TACOMA-economy-grille-insert_p_75.html

 

I saw that on the website but would like to see more than just that from others as they purchase it and install

 

Not exactly sure what else your looking for but ok. These are getting out quicker so you'll probably see them showing up in the next month.

 

awesome thanks!

 

4 month wait time...yikes

 

@JLee are economy grilles going to be shipping out quicker than those that ordered recessed? Just trying to determine a time frame and if those are taking priority over recessed....

 

It has noting to do with priority it's the amount of time it takes to built them. The new design it pretty much ready for powder coat after it's cut. We dont stop working on the recessed grilles the flat ones are just faster to make so they ship sooner.

 

Yep at lot of man hours into each one and over 300 orders were a little backed up

 

Even though a few weeks ago you posted a picture of 2 pallets worth of completed recessed grilles needing powder coating. Just trying to get an understanding of what's going on over at BAMY and if those that ordered grilles in August will recieve them before the end of the month (aka 12 weeks)...

 

I ordered in July and still haven't got my notice.

 

Because labors going into the newly back ordered economy grille. Typically companies won't roll out a new product when they are backlogged. I understand the demand for the grilles with the new 3rd Gen and kick ass design, but there should also be a focus for customer satisfaction. My curiosity is with the fact that there is labor out there to complete economy grilles that have just been released, but not labor to help get caught up on existing orders...sounds ass back words coming from another business owner

 

Those grilles were far from complete they were just formed there is a lot more involved in fabricating those grilles. 12 weeks is an eastmate it states it right on the site they will ship when they are complete and not a day sooner. We have employees that only build grilles and there are people that ordered before you that are still waiting.

 

That grille is simply bad ass. It looks a helluva lot better than the original after market one that I made.



... because, carpenter.

 

Possible to buy an insert?

 

I have a BAMF grill for sale if anyone is interested it is in the 3rd Gen parts marketplace here if you wanna get the details. Or PM me. It is an amazing built grill just a little aggressive for my taste I went for more of a stock look on my truck. Definitely gets looks and questions of where to buy it all the time. It is definitely everyone's prime focus when they look at my truck.

 

Want to trade for a TRD pro grille

 

Here's my grill! Went on fairly easily. I lost a bolt during install somehow, but a quick trip to lowes to get a bolt to match remedied that. Install was a breeze after that. It fit nice and tight and looks great! The coating on the holes looked fine, and the install didn't seem to affect them. Very satisfied!

 

Why do folks continually question the time-frame these grills are taking to ship? On top of that, questioning timing within this thread? JLee has been transparent since day one with how long these things take to produce. If you think it is too long, don't buy it and don't question how he chooses to run his business within this thread. When you do this, you are the one that looks bad (like a whiney little B). Out

 

Because they are behind on some of the orders more than 8-12 weeks I would guess. Read back a few post and you will see. It's understandable these grills take a while to be produced. Also it's know. That they have a lot of orders in. If you ordered a grill and were expecting it to take 8-12 weeks and 12 weeks comes and no grill wouldn't you be on here asking about it too? You gotta understand people get all excited when they get these trucks and they just want to start modding away. I don't think anyone is being a whiny bitch. Just getting a little impatient that's all. Nothing against JLee or BAMF, they made a kick ass grill and have a shit ton of orders. I'm sure they are loving it and would love to increase production, unfortunately that's not always possible. I don't think anyone is questioning how they do things.
