    I have some buddies in this GB too, I too am irritated at this...Not so much at Mahalo now, but the lack of intervention so far. Hopefullt tcbob can make some progress here. Really wish I could do more than just offer my insight.

    Im curious if TW has any official stipulations/requirements for GBs before initiation? If not, this thread might be a prime example of what initial limitations might need to be established up front to conduct a group buy? TBH, this is the first GB I have seen remotely even go to shit, but it could be worth it in the future to develop a safeline of protocol that the GB OP/sponsor MUST adhere to or the GB can not be conducted on the TW forum. I would assume there are atleast some sort of guidelines already in place, but would be great to see if GBs like this could be avoided greatly in the future.

    Yes.

    You will be the first Tacoma with a dual snorkel system, one on each fender. It would look like your Tacoma is flexing :muscleflexing:

    perfectly functional. Both of them.

    Tell them the truck is for looks, the snorkel is for function.

    Haha I like that line...I think I might use that in the future.

    I agree.

    I'm fairly new to TW and I believe this was the first GB that I attempted. I've done other GB's afterwards (which, by the way, were outstanding and I already have my products). But I relied on the trusting nature of the TW members. When 50 or more people are joining group buys it gives that false sense of security that all will be well.

    Well, this GB completely changed my perspective on TW Group Buys. I will be extremely cautious in the future. Saving 35 bucks is not worth it.

    Hopefully, TW Admins @tcBob @chris4x4 can put some consumer protections in place that prevent con artists like @mahaloTaco from taking TW members hard earned cash without any reasonable guarantee that we will receive our product in a REASONABLE amount of time.

    4 months is unreasonable.

    Sad to say but he's not doing himself any favors by not updating. Hopefully TC Bob can make contact and get some resolution.

    I have an Elite Bumper and consider myself damn lucky that I got it. It was right before that clusterfuck of a GB.
