Hey guys,

Sorry I've been vacant here a few days... had to clear up some issues with our account staying in "Vendor" status here.

First off, I will address the wheel base stretch question that came up:

We shipped a few kits out and upon user install we realized the arms may have been a bit too much of a stretch. We have handled this initially by sending shorter arms to those that have requested. For all future shipments the arms will be around an inch shorter..this will still allow you to obtain a bit of wheel base stretch..but we feel after evaluation that the first batch we sent was defiantly a bit longer than they should be.

Secondly: we have actually shipped all kits to this point raw. For a few reasons that I hope you all understand. During mockup and install..the paint gets pretty well screwed and from what we have seen by the time its ready for final install...it needs to be touched up quite a bit. Also, we previously only painted in one color (a gunmetal silver color) and there were some people with either didn't like the color, or wanted another color. With that being said we concluded that shipping kits raw will allow the user to determine their own color while also being able to paint it fresh after initial mockup.

Final few updates that I believe are most important to you folks:

Several of you will be getting shipping notifications over the next few days. Our laser work is FINALLY done and the majority of welding is done also. I can't speak enough to how much I appreciate your patience with this long process, its been a learning experience for us and we firmly believe that you all will be more than satisfied with your kits when they arrive.

Finally: T-Case Skids.. I believe these were mentioned earlier in the thread. I will go ahead and let you all know that Pre-Order customers will receive the option to purchase a bolt on T-case skid for the Alpha at essentially a material cost. We will make an announcement here as well as on our social media outlets when we are caught up with the shipment of kits so we can release the skids to you all.

Again, thank you guys so much for the support..we are finally at the point of getting these out..and I think you all will be completely happy with your purchase.

Thanks!

Dave

I swear someone mentioned that about them getting scratched up during mock-up... hmmm... I wonder who that was?

Anyway... we all appreciate the info! Looking forward to swapping mine out when you guys get caught up! This thing is definitely gonna be well worth the wait!

Went wheeling yesterday out to Sheep's Crossing in AZ. The whole time wishing I had my 3-link installed. Can't wait for this thing to get here.

Are both boxes shipping out at the same time?
