Outgear solutions lead time 25 weeks and growing

Update: For anyone who ordered Prelander bumpers with powder coat. Joe emailed me today letting me know there in powder coat right now hoping it’s done before the holidays.

 

I too would like to update Joe was pretty good about staying in constant communication with me even though I ended up selling the taco. I would recommend him and his company

 

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SCUMBAG COMPANY, They will take your money and you will not receive your item you ordered, I ordered from them in July 2024 and my bumper said 10 week lead time so it should arrive sometime in September I waited that amount of time then I contacted them to see what's up and they said they expected the bumper to ship out end of the month or early October and as time passes by with no update or responses, November comes around and I got an update from joe saying the bumper is finished and it is getting palletized for shipping and expected to leave on whatever bullshit date he said and then weeks go by I'm wondering where the hell the bumper is and then I reached out AGAIN and he said the bumper will arrive soon from the day I texted him and after that Crickets didn't hear a damn thing back from him. December rolls around and I email them AGAIN asking for an update and got an email back
(Dec 10,2024) from Kirk saying "With all due respect and I know you’ve been patient. Problem currently is freight prices have gone up so much where we are trying to find the right carrier for the least amount to pay over. From 295$ prices to $525 to ship is extreme for us. We are usually comfortable with paying over $50-75 but when it’s a few hundred more and you multiply that by 10 shipments. It gets costly. But I’ll tell you what, I’m working with a new carrier and they are expecting to give me rates back this afternoon and if the prices remain the same then I will eat the difference and ship your pallet." Like that's a company problem not my problem I don't give a shit I just wanted my bumper, after that I been trying to reach out sending text messages, emails, and DM's on their Instagram page with no reply and it is now January 2, 2025 as I am writing this. Save your money and time by ordering else where I knew I should of bought a bumper from somewhere else such a waste of time dealing with these people all they do is keep giving you false hope that the bumper and arrive soon and excuses on excuses and eventually they will just not reply at all!

 

"With all due respect" is all I need to hear. What a loser that guy is.

 

Hey, Danny did you order a remanded bumper?

 

I ordered the high clearance rear bumper with swingout

 

That’s crazy it says on his websites news all swingout orders should be shipped by the end of year. I have a phone number if you want to give him a call

 

It’s all good I been trying to reach out for a long time now for months I’ve already reached out to my bank to dispute the charge

 

yeah i think i’ll be in the same boat he texted me the 18th of December saying he was hoping my prelander bumper would be done in powder coat by the holidays and it’s not. I’ve waited a long time and sadly this bumper took so long i changed plans with the truck and need the bumper extended 3+ inches on each side for glass ‍♂️

 

I’d just go a different route and avoid outgear solutions joe is full of shit every time he tells you something it’ll take him weeks even months to reply again for an update

 

This is sad to hear. Looks like they need to scale up in production to match growing demand (easier said than done I know.) I was going to order a high clearance rear w/ swingout at the end of this month too. Sympathies to the customers, I'd be outright livid waiting 4+ months when it clearly states otherwise on their website.

 

They need to shut down they have been screwing over a lot of people in the this community checkout their google reviews and my post I made about them on my Instagram @Adventureoverlandtaco you’ll see many people speaking up about this shitty company

 

Darn, I just placed an order last week for their prelander front bumper. I'm local so don't have to deal with shipping. Wonder how long it's going to take.

 

That's what brought me here. I follow you I'm pretty sure.

 

I'm drawn to their prelander and rear tube style of bumpers. Any alternatives to outgear with similar styling?

 

Relentless fabrication recently came out with a rear tube bumper that's similar. I've been rockin my outgear rear for a few years now and I love it but if I were buying today I'd probably go with the relentless one and that's partly because they're local so I'd save on freight , but aside from that its a really good looking bumper imo.

Those look pretty good! And so far have never heard of negatives from relentless.

 

Lil B’s fab and C4 rockrunner would be the others.

Oh yeah I forgot about ones that look exactly like outgear and used to cruise around these forums: warfab

 

I wouldn’t do business with them go look at my Instagram post he’s screwed over a lot of people @Adventureoverlandtaco
