    i'm sure the skid plate group buy has him pretty busy right now. if you look at the list, that's a huge amount of product for an indevidual to knock out.

    I think when he said "this fab dude" he was talking about a random one...
    That's just my guess though, I know Eric doesn't make a standard one, but he does do some custom stuff.

    I had a very similar experience with Relentless. I ordered a front, rear, sliders and two bed bars and took right around 8 months to get. He gave me some $ off as a "bundle" price but wasn't really worth the wait. Plus my order wasn't all correct. If I had to do it again I would probably go CBI. Live and learn I guess.

    Haha Yea, random fab guy. But I'm relating my experience to the OP's. And I realize custom stuff takes a while, but still, everyone says its just ridiculous.

    I totally know what you mean. I could build a bed/light bar in a day, no problem. Built one from a buddy a couple weeks ago, doesn't take long at all

    Pretty relevant in my opinion, as its about the same as the OP said. Troll it up elsewhere.

    I'm not trolling , I just don't think it is fair to the vendor in a vendor review to start introducing your experiences with other vendors .

    In all honesty , I sympathize with both the vendor and the consumer in this instance .

    Ok well then I apologize, first of all, my 'fab guy' is totally not a vendor, just a dude out of someone elses garage (long story), I'll NEVER use him again, after such a bad experience. Secondly, I merely wanted to relate my horrible experience with the OP's, not bash on RelentlessFab. I'm sure he puts out good work, just as my 'fab guy' does good with LT kits (apparently) but should stay away from custom work. So...i totally forgot where I was going with this, but still, this is definitely a consumers market these days, so IMHO vendors should be bending over backwards to make sure the customer is happy.

    Yea...like I read that :rolleyes:

    you must like to hear yourself type :jerkoff:

    I have installed a few of Eric's front bumpers and 1 rear high clearance so I know the issues they have. I have used everything from a 30,000# strap attached to my truck to get them strait and never had an issue after some hard thinking and beating. Ive also had the same issues with installing ARB bull bars. Have you guys tried to pull it with a come along or something similar?

    If you shut the fuck up there would be no arguing in here. Some people are trying to help not just bashing other people LIKE YOU ARE!

    I have found that people like to lurk after they have been requested to leave, thus explaining my last statement. And this was found to be true from the nice PM he proceeded to send me.

    shooting suggestions in a thread where a product was deemed substandard is a function of TW. (The late arrival is a different story) His first post was purely to help the OP (re-read it if you want, he quoted posts and a post from the OP to direct his post's topic), even including pictures, and he was relating from personal experience from other installs.

    Shooting down his help, then pointing out how others were "actually" helping, then complaining about how he didnt read the thread/"Just wanted to talk shit" doesn't really give you means to call him a douche.


    My .02 on that..

    Good luck OP, hopefully something gets worked out.
