Nope, no tracking number either. I am in AZ so the shipping time is probably 4-5 business days. A tracking number would be greatly appreciated. 5 months 9 days and still waiting.

Nothing here, but im all the way in California.

Was worried about that, when I log in to the CavFab site it says my order is only partially shipped.

Wonder when the links are going to ship out.

That is also a wonder of mine... it's cool having the crossmember, but links are fairly important too....

Did you get hardware and everything so you can at least get the crossmember fitted/installed?

I have a big trip coming up at the end of the month, was almost certain I was going to have the jeep done by then.

Same here, I am feeling like counting on a timely and communicative service with CAVFAB is not going to happen.

Honestly couldn't tell you. I'm currently at school (in college) so I got a picture from my mom of it back home so I'll head home this weekend and get to work on it again. Sucks being away from the jeep when parts come in.

Hey Guys!

Dave checking in here,
Basically all of you that are receiving your x-members will be getting emails over the next couple days with the links shipping. It was WAY more expensive for us to package them all in one box so we broke them into 2 separate shipments.

Let us know what you think of the kits as you get them in and installed.

Thanks,
Dave

Really looking forward to receiving this kit and sharing thoughts and pics. I am very hopeful that it will meet my needs. i also understand that you guys are trying to keep shipping costs down for yourself and the consumers. We appreciate that.

Does the alpha kit only use the 3 underside mounts and not come with the mini stiffners on the side like the previous ones did?

It should come with the side tie-ins.

Getting closer. My crossmemeber showed up today. Links should be here early next week according to my tracking number.. The side tie in brackets didn't arrive with the crossmember either, so hopefully they will arrive with the links. I can get the crossmember mostly mocked up at least for now. Then should go pretty quick when I get the side brackets and links.

Snapped a few pics on my lunch break for your viewing pleasure.
