    Was it ever not? We have 36 Before-fucked-by-KTJO 4x4 pages and 200 After-fucked-by-KTJO 4x4 pages. If recent reports are any indication of more-of-the-same, we could be moving on to another epoch of crap from KTJO 4x4.

    Man, go back in time to page 36 and you are SO EXCITED. ME TOO.. It's fun to have a time machine and experience our youthful selves. Temporal KTJO pleasure pincer. Whatever.

    Man I just read over the first page and then 36. I forgot all about the covers being wrong and the exchange thread :rofl::rofl::rofl:
    That’s just insane. Then seeing people actually get them installed, I decided to get one. She was sold out and so was Tacoma beast. So I decided fuck it I might as well preorder and see how this fiasco plays out. and there has been like 200 pages created since then I guess I’m kinda a glutton for punishment. I just really want a handle

    Am I the only one shocked no one else is making these? Seems like demand would be high enough. Then again what do I know.

    I had pre-ordered mine in December of 2019, and it was delivered in January.... of 2021. I finally was able to install it a few days ago. Mine had arrived in good shape, and only the clip-nut was incorrect (M6). Now that it's installed it looks like it came there from the factory. It's solid and secure, and it serves its purpose well. I'm glad to have it in my truck.

    The excitement could be felt in the community. We were on the cusp of grabbing some much needed feng shui and welcome utility.

    200 pages later, it is a flaccid slab of plastic that I barely used twice because I don't want to end up holding it in my hand.

    I forgot about that brief, yet exciting chapter of the saga.

    In the end, I use the thing and it serves its purpose. I just hate myself for contributing to the disaster of KT “For the Community” JO. If it was a better vendor and any more polished, I’d be telling my buddies to get one for themselves.

    I'm sure that Chinese factory will screw KTJO and start making them themselves to sell on Amazon for half the price.

    I tend to keep mine quiet but use it nonetheless. If anyone asks about it I relate a shortened version of my tale of woe. People are resilient and will order anyway believing that it won’t happen to them. Human nature I guess.
