+1 on that, also a update on shippable DIY.

Last IG post seems like it was July as well, so I'm not sure if they're still in business?

 

Bummer. A DIY budget flatdeck was a really neat concept.

 

Yep! I agree. I want to bob my frame and make it super short, so DIY would be perfect for me to customize.

 

If not these guys somebody should be making a product like this. It’s a great idea, and the whole appeal is the customizable DIY aspect. I wonder what happened?

 

I met up with him a couple months ago and bought a bumper from him and from the looks of his shop he was busy but definitely still in business.

 

Definitely picking one of these up when some girl sending a text inevitably rear ends me

 

Well, you'll have to drive out their shop.

 

busy with flatbeds or something unrelated?

 

I haven’t heard anything either. Was interested in one of these to have down here in Argentina and Chile for the next 18 months but I could never get a response.

The only response I received was to tell me they wouldn’t ship overseas. When I replied and said Uncle Sam was shipping it and would take care of everything I never heard anything back.

Only got excited about two things: this and the vinyl flooring carpet replacement. I’m a sucker for pipe dreams it seems.

Edit: the whole reason I got interested in this was in the OP it was stated that the primary focus was going to be on the DIY community. When I started seeing the responses to the DIY questions I kind of saw the writing in the wall but I kept up hope.

 

This looks great. I saw one in person last year and Rodeo rigs but didnt spend enough time really looking at it. Love to see one in person again soon. Super cool option!

 

Last we got from them was that the only option for it was to drive to his shop and have the install done by them. Not really DIY and more 'ala carte' at that point.
