    You should probably edit your post because you just look like a crybaby..

    Judging by the post that were replied to in regard to yours, they've accommodated you more than they should have.

    Looks great! What winch are you running? Also are those OnX6’s behind the grill? Do you notice the grill blocking much output from the lights or restricting airflow over the radiator?

    Finally got my bumper and Stage 2 kit. Powder coating matched perfectly. I decided to use longer bolts to mount wings and use nylock nuts to keep everything tight and true. Hopefully I will get everything mounted and wired up this weekend. I will post pics of finished product. 7557F8FA-7930-4C2C-8FCC-A7B96D70097B.jpg1F34D476-3B9C-4A1F-8D79-BEA9E7B17DF5.jpg 6F60EED1-511F-4E2D-847C-BDFA433653A7.jpg3B576829-C862-4F74-8689-858CE2C0ACE1.jpg

    What's the goop in between the bumper and wings?

    Thanks man! I'm running a WARN Zeon 10-S Platinum, one 30" OnyX6 and two 10" OnyX6 behind the grille. The grille doesn't appear to restrict the light at all and there aren't any airflow restrictions. I live in Arizona where it's been over 105 degrees for the last month, sometimes up to 115 degrees, and I don't have any temp issues at all. And that's obviously with the A/C blasting the whole time.

    This is actually my slimline bumper I ordered back in April. The stage 2 kit came in long ago as I was one of the first 10 or so to order it

    Wow bad ass setup! I have been eye balling the SDHQ grill mount for a while. Was it difficult to fit the winch and all of the lights? I’m assuming you had to get the Control Relocation Kit for the Zeon Platinum. I’d love to see pictures if you have them.

    Wow! Yours looks spot-on! Congrats! Still trying to figure out how I could get my gap smaller and have the right side line up without having to smash it with a hammer and recoat it.

    You can open bolt holes in wings a tad to give yourself a little more movement. It really depends on where it’s not lining up. Good luck

    If it's battleborn I'd put my money on them dropping the ball...not Southern Style Offroad.

    To clarify here, we did not open up the purchasing of Tacoma Stage 2s until May 31st. The sets were limited in quantity for the first batch and lasted on our website for only a few short hours, until they were sold out.

    We keep things vague because too many factors play into our production, that are legit out of our hands. We have had metal come in wrong sizes, metal come in bent the wrong way, metal come in completely covered in deep scratches we could not fix, we've had powder coating issues, transportation issues, shipping issues on a Fedex truck, shipping issues on a Freight truck, and all these issues are out of hands. That does not even involve issues we can get under control but do take time, we've had to fire a shipping manager, grinders and move around welders, along with other in house small fires we had to put out. After all, this is a growing company, we do the best we can with the knowledge and tools we have. We learned in a much earlier phase of business, giving absolutes when their is so many factors that can screw up a timeline only leads to failed expectations. So no need to name call, next time just ask for an education on how the business operates and some of the short comings we ran into and work hard to fix.


    I truly do appreciate Sean sharing our private message, to create drama on an adult car forum!

    Here at SSO we're building a team.. That includes a social media side of things, more welders, more grinders, more shippers, foreman, etc, etc. We're working on getting lead times down, customer service up, and other business related things within our company. We're growing daily with the intake of orders so we are doing our best to adjust. We are taking applications if you're interested in helping out our team!

    Jordan is a great guy and a wealth of information in this business. We love working with him and he is very thorough in his interactions on our side of the business.

    Your order was placed by BBO on June 4th at 10:25 a.m. via email to our sales rep. The issue is, our first batch of stage 2's were already sold out by then and we had not reopened the website for more orders until we focused on nailing the first batch of stage 2's down. So this is how/where the mix up happened. As of June 4th our sales rep had let Jordan know the stage 2's were currently closed but would process them as soon as the website/business opened up for the next batch of stage 2's. Jordan informed us to just process the order as soon as the sales reopened and we said we would do so immediately, so your order officially went through on June 20th at 1:13 p.m.

    If you have any other questions you can address me here as I can check in, as always you can call me at (225) 726-7979 and hitting option 3, or you can email me directly at Lee@southernstyleoffroad.

    Hope this helps, have a great day!

    -Lee

    I honestly don't know how some of the people on this thread are so upset about hiccups in a fabrication order. Sh*t happens. Sometimes you have a company that hides stuff or won't stand behind their product but that is not Southern Style Offroad. In all of my interactions with them, they have been more than professional. I have made a few comments on this thread discussing things that I was unhappy with but that has nothing to do with them as a company because I know it is mainly just me not being able to install things correctly the first time. The things that could be fixed by them were done on their dime and in a very timely manner considering these are custom made products for the most part. You can find unhappy customers from every single vendor here on TW but as far as I am concerned, Southern Style Offroad has got to be at the top of the list for vendors to purchase from if you are looking into anything that they offer. And a personal thanks to Lee for helping me out with what I was working on.
