    Wish my analysts would spend 3 hrs testing shit I send them. I'm lucky to get 30 seconds of 'testing' out of them most of the time.

    Spent 30 minutes this evening trying to come up with a better aux fuse plate than the ones out there that I could fit a Blue Sea battery disconnect switch to, didn't have much luck. Damn thing is 4" square, so it eats a bunch of space. Will probably end up either getting a model from TacomaPros for the fuses / relays and might just mount the disconnect switch on top of the factory fuse box cover.

    Don't be afraid to send an email, you sent the man a bunch of your money, it's not inappropriate to wonder why he can't meet promised delivery dates.

    The closest thing I have had to a weekend is 1 day off. Have another 14hr day tomorrow and then taking Sunday off before I go back to 5 or 6 more 14 hr days next week.

    You got your hood struts already! Mine dont get here until monday.

    Just ordered a set of terminals. Guess I should start ordering stereo components to fully utilize them.

    I fully agree with @hoarder23. If its past quoted time I would be getting weekly updates until they deliver! I'm impatient when places dont/cant meet times they quote. At that point your communication with me will determine if I still like the company or not. Its all about communication.

    Tough work for me as well this week. I did manage to get my skids installed though. It was a bitch to do but they're on. I'll have to touch up a couple of places where I scratched the paint off trying to mount them. Apparently you can't use the factory tow hook with these. I'll have to find another one that fits. Anybody got any suggestions?

    Seriously though, what doesn't allow you to use the factory hook? The Mobtown webpage for the 3rd gen IFS skid looks like it shows a 5-11 2nd gen. BPF offers a shackle mount for 2005-2017, but it uses the same holes as the factory hook.

    Just a pic to show why. You can see that little bit on the back side behind the bolts. That sits far enough back where it interferes with the IFS. I think the BPF one doesn't ahve that extra part so it should be good.

    Paid for my sliders also. Now just have to wait. No chance they'll be here before BBNP though.

    The SOS shackle mount is cheaper than BPF. However, I don't know if I'd recommend it at this point. I did get a response from SOS that my order was ready for shipping and he just had to do the paperwork. They use Fastenal shipping so I'll have to pick it up at a local store. I hope that doesn't cause any other delays/issues.

    dang, that sucks for all the delays. At least it looks like they're finally on their way. I went ahead and ordered the BPF one. I had already placed the order before I saw @49erfan s message. No biggie only $10.
