    I suprisingly spoke to Tim a few weeks ago again to finally get my bumper and Rigid light ordeal straight. He said that he would at least ship my Rigid Lights out to me (It has been a year)...that was a couple weeks ago. I still have not received them. This guy is a train wreck any way you look at it and I would run with my money in hand to another competitor.

    I love how people try and say, if you want custom made stuff you have to wait! Wait a year? He's not building a damn house! I feel for you man. I hope something gets solved soon.

    14 out of 25. Even if I was by myself and only working on saturday and sunday I could still get all the parts cut and get at least 1 bumper done a weekend, shoot maybe even after I got into the swing of this 2 a weekend. Tim doesnt seem to be putting the effort in.

    Tim isn't doing it anymore. The bumpers are being built by people he has hired or out sourced them too. Apparently Tim has a full time job elsewhere and this is more of a side job/ hobby that he attempted to keep going. I've gathered all this based on the conversations ppl have had over the past 60+ pages that this thread has generated........ Apparently, he invested in ppl who weren't really interested in investing in his company....so the GB went to shit. All it would take is consistent contact with ppl though and for the most part, ppl would be happy. I'm very happy with the product which was shipped to me but it seems I'm in the minority, I got exactly what I ordered and within a reasonable amt. of time.

    I know he out sorced. But obviously its takin a turn for the worst and the o ly way he stands to make money at this point is to grow a pair and fire everyone and work non stop till all of them are built. Never having welded a bumper together it took me about 10 hours to do the relentless diy kit. Where ever tims shop is im sure there is stacks of bumper plates that need to be welded up and using the jigs that im sure his shop is equipped with he could knock out at least 2 a day in a 12hr day.

    That is all assuming that hes not cutting these parts out with a cut off wheel

    He has gone through 4-5 people he told me that didn't come through. He doesn't have the time to do them himself otherwise he would.

    No disrespect to tim or the elite name. But what you mean don't have time. I have a full time job. SOS full time at night. In the mean time watching and taking care of my kids while the wife is at work full time and college. There's no suck thing as not enough time. I don't care if I get heat for this or not

    It's not a normal job. He works as a radiologist? Pulls 80 hour weeks regularly.

    But I don't totally know.

    Something needs to happen for sure for the last few guys.
