    @rjbiii Post us a pic when you get them installed. I’ve PayPal’ed @cnote4l, and think I’ll be on the 7th batch list.

    What do y’all think about installing rear splash guards...pros & cons

    Yea, it’s odd when you order and come back a couple days later and it’s unavailable. It brought up a couple rivot kits with the tool, I could use the different sizes from time to time. It seems like every thing here has plastic rivots.

    Scott yours shipped out this past Friday, 13th. PMd expected delievery date! Enjoy the new one piece design man looking forward to your install
    Got you listed for a front set for your 1st Gen! 7th start shipping when the 7th Batch is half filled/paid. As for the rears im doing some custom gap guards for a member that will seal the gap between the bed and the frame rail and strap around their rear suspension, also accounting for a 1" BL here.
    Still workin on a universal set for the rears, an obstical I'm encountering is a lack of mounting holes to bring a precut plug n play design to the market. Universal brackets and reinforments are in the scope. Stay tuned.

    OP list is UP to DATE ​
    The Last 2 additions to the 6th batch are scheduled to ship tomorrow morning @samiam @ScottyBoy215

    Taking a moment to give thanks to all who've taken part in this movement and giving us the chance to be apart of your builds. We've come a long way from when it started, and we're proud to know that 100s of members are 100% satisfied running our one-piece design. We're excited to bring TW future products as we move into our next phases in business.
    TW :cheers:

    No problem, they were great for our trip to AOAA.

    I can also confirm that a King resi mount will work, even with the shock tower gussets.

    You can put me down for a set of 4 mudflaps.

    Do you know if its the new style resi mount that uses the sway bar bolts location to mount or the old style? I have the new style on mine and it looks like it will work, just might have to remove them to install

    I have recently gotten some dry rot/cracking in mine. Not sure if it's cause of how thick they are or just the heat from the engine in the Arizona summer may just be too much for them.

    Minimal for sure, but still something I'll keep an eye on. Still glad I purchased them and if they don't actually fully crack apart, I'll still be a happy camper.

    @Andrew H looks like something has been making contact with decent pressure to the backside of the splash guard to have caused that pitting in the middle of the material, from there it seems to have caused that ripple tear effect toward one of the mounting holes. PMd

    Sidenote* Hard to tell here but others be mindful to not pin the splash guard to tight against the body/frame. These things are designed to move so don't be afraid to let the guard flex don't overtighten.

    Makes sense for sure. I'll loosen the nuts and hopefully that provides enough slack to allow the guards to flex since hey won't be too tight up against anything.

    May also be worth deleting a couple bolts from the top row and just space out the bolts along the top instead. Then replace with plastic push Xmas clips etc where the other bolts use to be. Also, try not to use a clip or bolt that exceeds 12mm stem width. Anything wider could cause premature stretching around the mounting hole

    Good morning :pccoffee: @Andrew H and @cnote4l Thanks for discussion this, as it’ll give me a head start installing. I would’ve tightened them down snug for sure, now I’ll leave a little slack/wiggle-room for flexing. :hattip:

    How long do these typically take to arrive? Mine has been marked as shipped for some time now but I am yet to see anything.
