As the demand for our products has taken off we have had essentially 0 time to step aside to pause normal production to finish designing and prototyping several parts we anticipated to release much sooner, but it will still happen.
I have said it before and I ll say it again. Your brand is growing. You also need to grow too. Hire people to lessen the work load. That ll help tremendous

We just moved from a small 5k sq foot facility to just under 20k SQ feet (just 2 weeks ago actually) and while the move created some delays with normal production its already evident how much it will help in the long run. We are only 1 year into conducting business and the amount of growth we have had has been absolutely mind boggling..obviously there have been some hiccups throughout the last year but things are moving in the right direction.

The money is in JK stuff, I don't blame them for trying to put out products for JK's! Hopefully they continue to build/design new products for XJ's, we'll have to wait and see.

As far as the tcase skids, I bought a long arm kit with no idea the skid was even an option (it wasn't at that point obviously). So having the option of buying one near material cost, whenever (if ever!) they become available is just a bonus. I'm willing to wait, I mean we waited 6 months or so for the long arm kit to begin with. Production is one thing, but if they're still designing the skid, well that takes time. Hopefully they'll find some time to put towards the skids as they get settled into their new shop.

As said many times before to Cavfab though, updates would be nice rather than being left in the dark.

T-Case Skids should be available within the next few weeks. Prototype design is here and we are finalizing some small changes we are making with them

Havent posted in quite a while. Have put a couple trips on my Alpha kit and CavFab steering.

No complaints at all. Both have been flawless.

My 3 link has been doing well and keeps it fairly planted. Been wheeling 4 times with it now and jumped it a time or two. Only issues I’ve had recently is the tires cramming into the front of the wheel wells.

We never put a 2 week time frame on the t-case skids...we had planned on them being done in the month of October..and we have a test piece..but not sure its something we are completely satisfied with.

On top of normal production we are very crunched for time when it comes to designing and testing new products. What we have is enough for us to make small tweaks to the existing drawing and cut the first few prod pieces.

So for the first time in close to a year (since we have been manufacturing these) we have them on the shelf, in stock...for same day shipments.

These have become one of our top products by a long shot. We have this kit on the 4696 Ultra 4 car and they have raced on it all season, taking second place in the points for the season. The kit will be ran at KOH this year on the 4696 car as well.

Its been 40 days and still nothing. Again, try setting a specific release date and sticking to it. We sure would appreciate it.

Yes, I am one of those Alpha kit pre-order guys that is not so happy with CavFabs poor communication and lack of follow up. Yes, they make these lame empty promises via email too so out to the world it goes.
