    I got inundated with emails/orders during Blk Fri and been working diligently in the background through the growing pains. I've always been pretty active on TW from the jump. I've been going at this for almost 3 years now and experiencing some growing pains that come with the territory. I've dealt with hundreds* of members over time and have done right by every single one of them. As always, I appreciate your patience during the order process and showing support for a small USA made business. Enjoy the custom gear!

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Shit - I just realized I had posted this in the 1st Gen section...sorry dude!

    Just installed my ProTec Splash Guards this weekend. Cody was awesome to work with and makes a very high-quality product.

    These are a HUGE upgrade over the flimsy OEM splash guards - 3 out of 4 OEM ones had fallen off (or been ripped-off) my Tacoma, so it was time for an upgrade. The material he uses is very thick and resilient, but still very pliable and flexible. The upgraded clips/fasteners should do a great job keeping the Gear Tech custom guards in place. There was (1) spot on the Pass. Side of my 2011 (DC/LB, Sport) that had no hole for the clip, at the 11 o'clock position above the coilover, but no biggie - I'm sure they will stay in place just fine.

    Cody also modified the fitment to accommodate the BP-51 reservoir hose a bit better, plus the hand-written 'Thank You' note was pleasant surprise.

    Ignore the rest of the dirt/mud - these splash guards are the cleanest thing on my rig now!

    Thank you again, @cnote4l ! Keep up the excellent work!

    REPOST from my Vendor Thread for transparency

    I haven't taken any Fend-X Liner orders within the last 3 weeks. Currently, you can check the site and that product is outofstock because I am backlogged. For the record, the lead time has been posted at 4 weeks for nearly the last 6+ months which is merely a projection not a promise. However, throughout the process 98% of orders ship within 3-6 weeks because everything is made-to-order. Many factors are involved in the production process. For example, in your case you also ordered Splash Guards which has it's own specified lead time separate from the Fend-X Liners. There are a handful of guys in the same boat as you right now at the 6+ week mark. However, I'm working diligently to finish those outstanding before I take on anymore Fend-X orders. Truth is, making those Liners are not easy and very time consuming so it's a hell of a balancing act but I enjoy offering this custom gear to the community which has also offered so much to me over the years. I greatly appreciate your patience during the process.


    ALSO,
    To the Tacomaworld Family,
    I'd like to address the perception that I'm some type of big offroad shop with X amount of guys working for me. Although that is my dream oneday, it is not the case today. The fact is, I'm a one man band with a small commercial shop & a night job who has been fabricating and facilitating every order since February 2017. I have single handedly handmade every piece of gear on the market to this very day (in the 1000s). There have been times I'll get to the very last phase of an order and botch a corner, rarely but it happenes. Unfortunately/ Fortunately, I have to start from scratch because the last thing I will do is push a product out the door which I put my name on that doesn't meet my quality standards. I've never burned a customer and I'm not about to start now. Could I shorten lead times and pump out products if I had a 30K+ Boss Laser? ABSOLUTELY. That's my dream for this company. Lastly, I appreciate every single one of you who have supported and continue to show support. I'm getting back to work, I'll be in the shop until 7PM Eastern Time.
    MUCH LOVE,
    Cody aka GearTechCustoms
