Show Off Your Brute Force-Fabbed Gear!!

Anyone else hear from billy?

 

Nope, I've been trying to get ahold of him non stop for a couple of weeks. He shorted me lights on my order, fucked up some fabrication, and hasn't been in touch. It's getting old.

 

Nope..... Phone rang and went to VM. Let's see if he returns the call...

I'm not holding my breath..

 

If no one can get a hold of him by the time I come home in November I'll stop by. Barely realized about a month ago his shop is down the street from my parents lol.

 

That would be HUGE!!! I know there's a lot of people the would appreciate that.

 

Maybe try the Cali threads and see if anyone has been by or will stop by?

 

that would be a home run man

 

Man, I sure hope all of us either have our armor, or our money back by November. If I would have known I was going to wait this long I would have taken a closer look at Pelfreybilt, or Relentless Fabrication.

 

I really like Eric (teamhypoxia)'s bumper and have seen it in person, but that sounds pretty damn shady to me. All the more reason to home fab!

 

ooooh man, trust me- if I had the ability, or the stuff needed to home fab I would be all over it! your armor on your T4R is epic!

 

If someone does end up getting ahold of him, please post up! I've left voicemails but haven't heard back. been waiting since February on this bumper.

 

When is the last time you heard from him?

 

If I had to put a date on it, I would say miss July or so. I knew he was having trouble finding a donor FJ to build the rest of my bumper on, but he said he had a good lead on one. At this point I just want to make sure the Worrell on my hybrid bumper is still moving forward. Not putting Billy down in any way though, have had good communication up until recently, just don't know what's going on at this point.

 

anyone having any luck on contact? I've been waiting to order a rear once contact has been made and people get there orders. Ive been eyeballing a HC rear from BF for a long time..

 

Not from what I have heard..

According to his Facebook page, he has some family issues going on that are taking all of his time. Father has cancer and is not doing well.

Myself, I have been waiting on a HC rear. Was due in May...

I was really pissed at first, but known that little bit of info I cooled my jets..

Hopefully we will hear from him soon..

 

I hear that, and I agree with you about trying to be patient while people have messed up shit going on.

The other side of that is that it takes 2 seconds to put a blast out to at least touch base and let people know he hasn't fucked them over. I am lucky enough to have received my stuff, although super late. The problem is that he fabbed some stuff incorrectly, didn't package some things correctly and they got trashed in shipping, and shorted me on a set of lights.

I had to run around like crazy to meet a trip deadline and had to spend $150 to fix the shit he did incorrectly, all so that I could have everything ready to go on a hunting trip for a memorial for my dad who passed away this spring. There needs to be some give and take, it's a two way street.

 

I agree 100%! Sending out a quick update on (his) current situation would put a lot of people at ease. I would even go as far to say that people will understand and send good thoughts his way.

That's really disheartening to here that your order was not done correctly and had to get work done once received. Hopefully when Billy gets back to communicating with everyone he will make it right.. The first time I dealt with him for my front bumper he was GREAT!

My last contact with him via email was on 6/25. He was suppose to call me with some questions he had... Nothing since then..

So I continue to patiently wait...

 

Still nada for everyone?

I heard about his father, which is unfortunate and sad, but considering that he has thousands of dollars from customers and they have ZERO to show for it is also unfortunate and sad. I will probably give it another month until I demand my money back. Not that I dont want my bumper, but the longer I go without it the sweeter that 1,000.00 cash sounds.

 

I agree. I've been trying to get in touch with him for 2 months to let him know I moved from Florida to Maryland. Bumper was supposed to be on a truck the day after I spoke to him in July. In August I called Fastenal to see where the heck it was. Talked to Fastenal guy in Cali that handles his account and he stopped by the shop while he was out one day and said Billy was waiting on a bracket to come in for it. Yet somehow I was told it was ready to go on the next truck a month earlier... Fixing to seek a refund.

 

your truck is the reason i want to get the hybrid bumper on my truck...
