    This is very disheartening. So you were all paid up back in Nov and it still didn't ship? WTF?

    That is the situation. All paid up and no go. It’s like Jeckl and Hyde with her. All nice and friendly with things going well one moment then the next interaction warrants a lecture about how busy she is and can't do everyone's order at once, blah, blah ...

    All we ask is that you fulfill your end of the bargain (preferably without all the fanfare) and we’ll go away and never darken your ordering portal again.

    ^^this.

    combine it with the fact that new orders ship instantly and pay the same amount, it’s a slap in the face.

    Key!

    I hope that TW strictly filters KTJO4x4 products in the future. It is too bad that the 1.5sec memory of social media will enable further fiascos.

    I think the Mods have already spoken in that regard when she was banned. It's up to us individually to police ourselves. I've failed based on my bowl light experience so I've already demonstrated my weakness. :mad::rofl:

    No doubt there. But the next BS project is around the corner, like the DC rear handles. This thread will eventually peter out. It's the new threads that either need to be locked down or at least have a firm 'buyer beware' warning edited in from the start.

    But like you coming back for more from KTJO4x4 mods, I can't keep from posting here with the new BS that keeps going on.

    I don't see the two metal bushings. On mine, they came in the hardware packet, but they may already be pressed into the holes in the handle. Better check.

    From the FB pics after the initial cover fiasco, I believe they are installed under the covers already.

    @mattleg - I'm not yet ready to commit to making unique mounts for the 3rd Gen that work only with these KTJO4x4 handles, given all the /production/fulfillment issues I see on this thread.

    But I still would like a guinea pig to try our 2nd Gen Tacoma mount with these handles. KTJO tried them with the prototype and thought they worked well, but I'd like an independent 3rd party to confirm (or let me know what tweaks would be needed).

    Don't all shout at once :D.

    There isn’t even a pattern to who is getting these, from what I can tell.

    Basically. If you want to make purchases without researching, that’s on you. We can’t hold everyone’s hand.

    But there should be one more post added to the original thread with a link to this thread. So that the unsuspecting can see how this KTJO "preorder project" ended up. It's entirely possible that someone could come across that thread and never find this one.

    Did anyone else see the latest instructions from KTJO on facebook about how to pay for shipping fees from Wednesday Night? I haven't gotten any email from her about my shipping..

    Quoted from FB:
    UPDATE: This might be easier for those still needing to make their payment. Some have made their payment and I will be starting to print labels again shortly. Step-by-Step process: First, you will need to go to the search engine on the website and search for “Item for Shipping”. It will not have a price. Second, add it to your cart. Third, checkout. Fourth, select which way of shipping you would like and enter all of your information to complete the checkout process and submit your payment. All done!
