    I'd guess another week then for yours. I've heard @RelentlessFab makes great stuff so just be patient. I'm sure it will be worth it. ;)

    Oh me too. That's why I ordered. I had a local option and was back and forth between with another bed rail company. But the price and good reviews won me over. And I know they are good peeps and hard working dudes..I don't question that. I did get my feathers a little ruffled seeing your order which appeared to be long after mine go out...but again. I'm back to calm. Just was really hoping to not miss my trip the 31st..or have to sleep on the ground. 2 other Tacos rolling with RTTs and they are gonna give me endless amounts of shat.

    Relentless Armored! Too many others to list.
    All bare orders (up to at least the last couple weeks) are shipped, all powder coated orders have been at the coater. I believe there are a good 50 bars we dropped to the coater in this batch.

    I got my bare bars on Tuesday, right at 5 weeks order to front porch. I'm very happy with the quality and hope to get them primed, painted, and coated with bedliner this weekend. Assuming I don't try to talk my brother into welding on some tabs for bike mounts.

    One question though, I've seen a few people that have added some sort of rubber/foam pad to the surface that sits on the bedsides, what is everyone using for that?

    Mine took 9 weeks. I must have ordered at the very beginning of the production cycle. I'm not going to be loading mine down with a ton of weight, so I probably won't add any pads since they will be bolted securely. Maybe I'll add some kind of small pad for peace of mind.

    My fear was of the edges gouging the plastic cap on the top of the bedsides, since I still haven't upgraded to metal ones and probably won't until I crack the pastic.

    I've had mine on almost four years with no padding and the plastic is still fine. And I'm not super gentle with my truck.

    Mine has shipped hallelujah. I must have been the very beginning of the order process. It'll be a day over 11 weeks on Monday when they are supposed to arrive.

    I'll say a prayer to Prometheus, that worked for mine.

    Got 3 coats of self etching primer and 3 coats of duplicicor spray on bed liner on my bars today. We'll see how this holds up, but I have a feeling that I'm going to regret not having them powder coated.

    ... and installed! Definitely worth the wait IMO.
