    Unfortunately it's not that easy for us to find qualified and motivated fabricators up here, and we build our products from start to finish. Pelfrey does not. We may both be toyota armor companies but we're very different in how our products are designed and manufactured.
    We were very much aware of the backlog and our lead times were updated after the sale, they were not 4-12 weeks on a bumper but it doesn't matter if I state otherwise- The customer is always right regardless of what they saw or what we may have stated. Plus it is stated on our tire carrier page that they add 2-4 weeks minimum to a bumper order.
    It is what it is, we turn out high quality parts that we have built in house since we started and we're 4-5 guys around the shop. We have thousands of happy customers, and a handful of unhappy over the years, 99% of the time our customers are happy in the end once they see the quality and thought-out parts they receive.

    I know, I just like being extra. The 2nd gens do it and I thought it's a pretty cool feature.

    I bought some at Ace Hardware. They have a variety of sizes and colors in the hardware drawers. Mine are still going strong after 3 years and no cracks. Not sure if there is an Ace by you though.

    As we've discussed via PM-
    The situation you described in your messages of the supposed situation/conversation between your friend and I at the event would not have been how I would have handled that question- I would have stated that your friends order status was not available at the event. And as you said, you do not personally know me.... I do not believe your friend was, in fact, talking with me. Most likely Nick who was in our booth as a friend helping us out and would not have had any order information to share.

    Cheap spacers and blocks, 33's, poor man upgrades.
    So you have $1000 to spend on coilovers. What would you go with?......

    Hey Eric,

    Here are the bolts from the incorrect hardware. The short bolt was in front bumper and is a larger diameter and different thread pitch from the skid plate hardware.20171011_035202.jpg 20171011_035228.jpg

    So the long bolt is the correct length just the wrong thread and diameter from the nuts welded onto the bumper.
