    Sorry, bud. I wish we could say you're an outlier. But you're on normative time and experience thus far. All systems are tracking normally.

    From what I can gather people were bitching about the shipping delays and yelling at her to just send what she had. So she did that and now people are upset that they didn't get their full order. Not taking her side or anything, this has been a botch up for awhile now. Just the solution wasn't giving into people and sending out partial orders. And just as an FYI, the shipping delays are no joke folks and as a supplier there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it.

    Oh man. What a shitshow!

    I got a sticker and wanted to ignite that mofo, but @dilbert has a Taco bed wall of shame.

    It took over a year for the original preorders- maybe she’s just keeping all orders on that schedule but giving you half of the package (which is useless on its own) as a gesture of goodwill. You know, for the community.

    This stupid grab handle thing needs to be taken care of so I can get updates on my preorder of the HUD.

    That is exactly what we thought about the handles. Expectations and dreams versus a fucking harsh reality that KTJO 4x4 is absolutely clueless. It may work perfectly on her own Taco, but forget 50% to 75% of the others.

    That's what I've gathered. She can come up with some very cool concepts, just horrible execution and of course communication.

    Yes, unfortunately.

    I can already tell that for Tuned folks, the HUD is wrong. AT redlines are set at 6,300 and MTs at 7,250. :D

    I prefer to bury my head in the sand and think that magically the HUD will be amazing.

    That's how I live. Poke and hope for the best with my eyes closed.


    Typically that works well with vendors on TW. KTJO 4x4 is a glaring exception. You never see folks anxiously tracking vessels when @MESO or @FreshMexicanTaco are getting parts in.

    I just think it sounds like a great idea, I have tons of stupid shit to mail. But I’m pretty bad about sending it out.
