Hondo Garage's New Thing

Got the email just now. so excite

 

No email yet. I must be far down the list. I’ll probably be waiting till June

 

YESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!! Just checked my email. #41 so Built in May, I'm hoping for a week of beach driving/ camping over Memorial day weekend/ week (end of May) so it looks like a real possibility. Thanks for the updates guys you are awesome!

Well I bailed out of the order, decided after thinking this over that it wasn't the right thing for my needs at this time. Hoping the future iterations will be more to my liking, if/when they come out.

Shoot me an email with your order number and let me know you are waiting on an email.

Edit: got your email and responded.

I am #22 in the production line. Looking forward to it.

 

Yeww #26! Can’t wait to see some photos of the first production models!

 

I'm #47 Was 29th on pre-order, pretty bummed I wont see it until June-July. Hope there are no hiccups like with my RodVault, ordered last June, and still haven't seen it. They have sent me a sticker, and a nice apology email though.

 

From the sounds of his email they’re predicting they’ll be ahead of schedule. But as we all know. Better to under-promise and over deliver, than the other way around. I think once these get rolling they’ll move right along.

Also if i was the manufacturer i would group these by model (bed size) be efficient like Henry Ford taught us so perhaps some of that went into planning?

Either way can’t wait to see em in the wild.

 

I get it. I was really surprised/bummed by the email that said they would be built in order of payment, considering that we were told that “preordering will reserve your spot in line.”

 

June is a very conservative estimate on our part. As stated before, we have a plan laid out to produce these things much faster than our conservative estimate. But as they say, some things you don't know that you don't know, so we're allowing for some unexpected surprises. But given the tremendous reception we've been getting, we decided a little while ago to bring every process in house except powder coating. By the end of march we should have a firehose that sprays campers

 

It's not purely in order of payment. Deposit number still factored in for a lot of folks and moved them up in the queue. And in the end we will have all of the preorders shipped before or by the original estimated delivery timeline. So don't be too bummed, these things we be here before you know it

 

It can vary quite a bit. But if it’s close like Colorado it could be two days. Or 1-2 weeks for cross country.

 

My apologies if this was already asked.. 68 pages is a lot to sift through. Will this be offered for short beds? Pics?

 

Bumped up to 18 in the build queue.

Have a week long trip planned for the start of May, can't wait to break in my GFC!

 

Yes. All Tacoma’s except 1st Gen flare sides as well as a full size truck model in the future.

It will just extend over the cab farther

 

I should've paid sooner so I had an earlier production slot.

 

#17, should have mine installed by mid April if anybody is in the Portland, Oregon area and wants to view in the wild.

 

Just wondering if it's a good idea to add a set of bed stiffener along with the GFC or the GFC's spaceframe would already be adding to the structure of the bed?
also looks like there's a pre-order for a set at Caliraisedled for $99 - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/05-2018-toyota-tacoma-bed-stiffeners-pre-order.535627/
