    Mine is same, nothing since the 12th.

    I figure it might have something to do with the holidays.

    I called FedEx and they said that it looks like the package hasn't been picked up yet.

    Well got an email from FedEx this evening!
    Basically says that the packages were "Tendered" to fedex ground today.

    There are two packages and it gave me new delivery dates for both (23rd, 26th)

    Pumped:D

    Mine still says "initiated". I'm pretty bummed because next week is the only time I'll have to weld it. It'll probably sit in the apartment for months now :(

    Are the brackets supposed to be bent at 90 degrees? Cause Im having a hell of a time getting them to fit. Gonna have to widin out the holes a bit. And the skid plate bracket doesnt line up with the factory holes either

    Nope supposed to be bent at the angle pictured. They match the angle of the bottom of the bumper wing plate.
    Hmm that sucks about the bottom bracket. I've seen maybe 10% be off like that. I guess frame width on a handful of trucks is like an 1/8" narrow.

    Mine was the same way, took forever to get everything lined up. We had to bore out the holes slightly as well. After I removed it for paint and went to re-install it, I still couldn't get both bolts in on the driver side. I just need to bore the back driver side hole a little more.

    I am excited about getting mine done, but haven't had the spare time to DO it. All the parts are looking so lonely in the storeroom. I'll get to it soon I hope!!

    What kind are you thinking of?
    I make these for my rear bumper swingout's, they're lockable via running a small lock through the end of the bar.

    BTW- if you guys could measure the width on-center of the holes on the bottom of the frame rails and PM/post it, I'd appreciate it so I can compare/edit my CAD files if people are having issues with alignment.
    Thanks!

    1st shipment came in today, the rest should be here Thursday. Judging by the weight and thickness of the steel, this thing is STOUT

    Getting excited, I'm gonna sleep next to it

    Nice, was thinking maybe just a single can rather than a double though.

    That's as simple as about 5 minutes of editing in CAD. Let me know if you want one. :cool:
