Hondo Garage's New Thing

Got an email from Graeme, looks like mine is off to powdercoat

 

Guess that means you'll be posting up more photos and videos soon

 

Those awning mounts look fantastic. Super excited to see what else yall come up with. This makes getting my GFC in Septemeber a little mofe bearable but is making me have to save up more GFC funds. Keep up the great work and ill keep working to buy more GFC accessories.

 

I’ll give you the obligatory question... what number are you?

 

Build #22.

I don’t know if I will get in on the next delivery or the one after.

 

19 more to go before mine.... hopefully they make the early July build time frame.

 

I got the email today too, mine (#24) is headed to powder coat. Graeme said I won’t be in next weeks delivery, but I will be the week after.

Hopefully they can toss a few of those awning mounts in! At OVX Graeme said the first set would fit ARB awnings (can’t say on the others but they are pretty much the same). I plan on a 2.5 meter on the driver side (it’s within an inch of the extrusion length) and a 1.25 meter on the back to cover my tailgate/kitchen.

 

I’m #26 and mine is being built next week. I’m in San Diego and Graeme said mine will be going out pretty much right after it’s built, so I’m assuming mine will be on the same delivery as @Borrego Taco and @rocket_scientist

 

It should be accurate being because my gfc is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday in Orange County lol

 

Sorry if I missed your call, I didn't receive any emails on my end? Shoot me a call tomorrow morning if you'd like, or an email at the orders@gfc address and I will get back to you promptly.

@socaltk 's is built and ready to rock, I am just waiting to confirm delivery timelines for the next couple until they are ready to load onto the trailer. But please do contact me in the morning and I am happy to help.

We are onboarding another customer service gal who will be helping with more than just answering emails. With any new hire, there is a bit of a delay between bringing them onto the team and seeing the effects.

Well, I just placed my order! Now the long wait begins!

 

Awsome. Congrats! Out of curiosity what number are you? I’m curious how many they’ve sold. My guess. You’re... 189. Am I close????

 

very close... its 186!

 

I saw these at OXW and decided I needed one! I placed my order on May 20th, and I’m number 168.

Graeme emailed me and said my expected build date is the week of Oct 29.

 

I just spotted the GFCmobile headed south through SLC, with what looked like a surfboard up top...

 

stand up paddle board would be my guess, SLC is kinda far from waves.

 

so how do build numbers vs order numbers work?

 

I just placed an order and it sent me a number. Graeme mentioned I would get a call from him in a week or so giving me my build date... and that the build date is the important item now over order number.

 

hmm, i was under the impression that the build number was assigned when it was put on the board for scheduling vs number actually sold.

But the numbers didn't correspond to any actual sequential build order because sometimes there might be one-offs or special builds for new platforms like full sized pickups, or different non toyota models, etc.

 

I could be totally wrong here too... im still freaking out that i just bought one!
