    He just emailed me. Shipping out my CB drop today. Seems like a good dude just busy...probably should update lead times on his website to be a little more accurate.

    I have to agree..what I'm trying to figure out is what the hell is the 3 weeks lead time all about?if you have a website on a product your selling then it should be ready to ship after the order is filled.i understand it's custom made..but if it is made to fit certain applications (1st,2nd or 3rd gen)then they should be made way in advance in order to fulfill orders and if they are not then it's time to expand and hire people that can fulfill these orders..I guess the big question is if your business is growing and more orders are being placed then so should the staff that are producing the products..SMH ..what a shame cause I really need the carrier bearing drop myself and to have to wait weeks or months on end is not in the cards for me as I needed the bracket like yesterday..lol

    Well officially 17 weeks after my order was placed one set of sliders is shipping out, no word on when the second set will shipped... Im guessing around the 20 week mark for those. Ill report back what the product looks like but even if its great Im not sure I could recommend him to anyone. Over 3x longer than the stated lead time is a bit much for me to swallow. I did request my sliders to be customized a little but never got confirmation on if he actually made them the way I asked so I guess itll be a surprise when they come! On a side note has anyone used rustoleum spray on bed liner on sliders?

    Yes. A good combo I found was the Rustoleum Automotive primer and Dupli-Color Bed Coating. Whatever you do don't buy the "better" Dupli-Color Bed Armor. Once that stuff get's dirty it does not clean up well at all. The Dupli-Color stuff also lasts longer than the Rustoleum Bed Liner. I'm telling you all this stuff from experience.

    Not sure why people continue to order despite our "proceed with caution" on their sub-forum...especially if they saw the warning and ordered anyways.

    I bought a can of the rustoleum bed liner a few weeks ago but I'll go look for the duplicolor version thanks!

    I ordered before I saw this lesson learned I guess... I did get my tundra set today though.

    I think they are the best looking ones out there, they are definitely beefy and have good welds, its a product to be proud of. With that being said Im glad I have received them but wouldn't recommend ordering from him unless you can afford to wait 1/3 of a year for your product

    I purchased a set of slider in December 2015 and it took him 6 months to get the parts delivered. His product are very well build but his customer service is far from be acceptable as I know he told me not accurate info about the job progress. That been said, I was aware of his long delay and I will do again if I have too. For sure I was very patient with him, probably more than the average person. The trick is to buy the parts before winter and you will get tem for the next summer ... I'm Canadian. I was already sold to his slider design for AC with the bed protection. Good luck !
