Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

Gonna tape a flashlight to him and hope for the best.

 

I am willing to bet he has your missing sockets in his right hand.....

 

I sure did and there was no answer. it asked me for a password of some sort

I am patient zero. My core support is about 8 different pieces in dire need of reunification. My radiator is flopping around in a most unsettling manner. I have been playing the tig it and chase the new crack game for quite a while now I would like replace the core support and the skirts in one fell swoop. Additionally, the driver side skirt is about as bad as the core support with the battery/fuse panel making a lot of racket.
From the site saying "sold out" I would have assumed they had already gone through a run. So you are saying they have not been released? I would love to get on a list at this point.

 

Mine are in similar shape. I have to have a ratchet strap hold the hood down. It's been flopping so much it broke the latch part on the hood and the parts that the hood pins were in became disconnected from the rest of the core support as well.

 

I just stopped by the shop last night to say hi to my truck and Harry showed me those too. Just like everything else they are doing they are very well thought out and the quality is awesome.

From what I understand they are going to install the first set on the truck with the cage and beta test them for a bit before putting them into production. I’m sure once they are ready to be released they will open up the ability to order them on the site for a production run.

 

I have used it and the PPB(?) weldable primer with good success.

 

With Jesse, Dave, and Harry's expertise and ideas for problem solving, we were able to laserscan, and 100% design this fender kit in CAD. Was a super fun project, cant wait to see it as it goes through the testing phase. Same for the rear gas tank kit we worked on. Stoked to have the opportunity to help out on these projects and more to come.

 

Oh, but you're not patient zero, and you're not alone. There are multiple threads documenting the extensive damage that is a biproduct of wheeling these vehicles. These HC wheel wells have been a whisper in this thread for months so just take a breath and wait with the rest of us. JD wont release a product that they are not confident in but that also takes time. So no, they have not been released yet. They are in the design phase.

I've tried welding my core support at least 5 or 6 times, each to just buy another few weeks. I added hood pins a few years ago just to give a little reassurance when I did a Baja trip which helped but my hood latch completely broke off about 6 months ago. My wheel wells have even started to crack.

 

Exactly... they will be ready when I’m 100% confident in them. I’m far more concerned with having a dialed in product then making a few bucks.

I get about 10-15 calls/messages a day about the inner fenders and the answer is always the same... they will be ready when they are 100% ready.

I’ve already had to tell one person I refuse to sell them to him because he called and emailed me almost daily asking for updates.

Trust me, when they are ready everyone will know. And there will be no “preorders” either, I don’t want your money until the product is available

 

I appreciate this.

When the day comes that I decide to be a big boy and build my truck for shenanigans you will be getting my money.

 

You will never get to the level of Rock Solid Toys if you don’t take preorder money!!

But but but

 

It's been bubbling for months now

 

I’ve known something was up before that thread popped up. Friend of mine works for a company Wyatt supposedly ordered from but he said they’ve had no orders from him in awhile.

What is sad though is that company didn’t want to get involved and when people called them directly about orders Wyatt supposedly placed they refer them back to Wyatt and not say anything.

 

JD Fab parts are not for children.

driveway/shade tree "vendors"...this thread should be a "how to be successful" mandatory read for anyone thinking about going from hobby to a business.

 

Retail is time consuming. Time is of course money. That’s why most manufacturers sell wholesale to suppliers or charge retail prices. There’s also the Amazon mentality of everything (even custom work) can be available in two days, which our business is not immune from either. That’s compounded with people impulse spending stimulus checks. Good work takes time, and I appreciate someone not rushing to put shit out and just patching it later (every single tech company in existence)

 

It's all about accounting and transparency. Don't get in over your head, don't borrow money from customers and if things are going awry, let your customers know.
