Long Travel BS Thread

Camburg said 3-4 weeks for my kit. 3 weeks later, it's another 3-4 weeks. Gayyyy

 

Oh well.

 

little shackle fab at RPG today. Welding all day every day is really making me see progress ahha

 

Seriously..I'm..not sure I can get my 35s back on..two post lift would be nice

 

He probably has a huge ass garage.

 

bet mcm wouldn't make you wait that long
or cost as much haha...

that sucks though sorry to hear about your luck on the truck. seems to be one thing after another. are the links and cage done yet?

 

no but he'll just buy one, don't you worry bout that

 

I'm getting a small shop to just as a hobby

haha quite a bit

LOL

 

Motor mounts are not too bad with all the 4wd shit not here haha. Still a pain. Have to clean the area really well now.

 

I ordered a F150 7.0 kit for a customer and was told 3 weeks, 3.5 months later, I finally got it. What kit did you order?

 

I have been told for weeks that everything is made except the spindle

 

Sigh

 

Yeah I'm so over my Tacoma at this point in time. It's been too long, too much money, and I still haven't driven it. Here I am driving a damn Chevy in the mean time

I have built up systems on gas and steam turbines and generators ranging from 7 megawatts all the way to 1000 and the fact that nothing gets done in the damn fabrication industry in the same amount of time just blows me away. The fact that anyone makes any money or gets anything done just doesn't make any sense to me.

 

its pretty crazy how long fabrication takes. shit for me just to lay a couple tubes it takes me hours and hours.

hopefully you get your shit soon man!
tell them to send you everything but the spindle? and send the spindle once its ready?

 

"If" I ever move again, next house will require a high ceiling garage for a hoist that's for sure! The engine hoist lift routine works but gets old. Need to build some large chassis stands honestly.. They're on the to do list, but they're a ways down the list...

 

I hear you on that. You should head out to the Superstition meet Jan 9-11 to get a dirt fix until your truck is done. There will be a ton of open seats. Your more than welcome to get a ride in "Martha." She's not the fastest but it's dirt time.

 

don't blame the taco! blame the guys taking your money and wasting your time. theres very few shops i've seen take a reasonable approach towards customer service. most just throw out bs timelines and take your money in the mean time.
fabrication is time consuming, but at the end of the day you're running a business, and its in poor taste to make promises you cant keep. hire people, streamline your process, do SOMETHING to try to ensure you can follow through on promises to high paying customers.
if it was my money, i'd demand a refund and take my business elsewhere. they didn't follow through on their end of the agreement, why should you continue to foot the bill? its the point of the free market... business who cant provide a product and follow through on commitments don't deserve to be open, imo. theres plenty of competition that pride themselves on pleasing the customer. do you go to a restaurant, pay for your food, then get told it won't be done for another few hours? then a few hours later, told another few? no, you say fuck that restaurant and take your hard earned money elsewhere...
you're more than welcome to ride in my truck at superstition, i'll just be cruising with my puppy.

 

I know these guys! super rad family out of Ensenada that races to support a local women and childens shelter. They did awesome! That was gnarly race for that class 11. My dad and I will be racing our class 11 next year. Can't wait.

I know, I know unfortunately we are short staffed, and with the holidays and the demand, production gets extremely backed up. We try and give you the best ETA as possible, but things get pushed back that are out of our control.

That was unfortunate, and you were actually not the only one waiting a long time for that kit. :/ We sell maybe (4) of those kits every year, and they all happened to be all at the same time!

Exactly! All of our kits are built in house! Greatness takes time

Good thing we do not bill anyone until the order is ready to be shipped! Unless it is a custom shock order or custom built kit, then we would need some kind of a deposit. As I addressed above, we are short staffed and with the holidays it makes things 10x more hectic in production. Since we build everything in house, we can only build so much at a time, and some things such as machining, anodizing, powder coating, etc are out of our hands. We try our best to give our customers the best ETA as possible. Of course, it is an estimated timeline. We totally understand the frustrations of waiting but we can assure you, it is worth the wait! These kits are not just something cast made and sold on a shelf, they are built, tested and proven to be the best. We APPRECIATE everyone's patience with our process and sometimes delayed ETAs. We are definitely addressing some issues with production and attempting to proceed with a more organized protocol so we can speed up the process. We appreciate your business! Without you guys, we wouldn't have anything!
