Took around 3-6 months for me to get my hybrid bumper. Dude is super unresponsive, send him an email and wait a week or so. He will probably tell you it’s gunna ship in a month or something but might still be a ways out. He has great quality/looking products but he definitely needs help on the business side of things..
I received my tube bumper from AOR late April of this year. It took close to 3 months. I never attempted to get a hold of them due to the history of long lead times. Hope this helps.

I just received my bumper about 4-5 weeks ago from them. He told me 10 weeks and i got it in 14 weeks. he will not answer emails and does not answer the phone. it was only on the 13th week i finally sent him an irritated email he got back to me and said it was shipping. 3 more emails just to get the trk#.
Then when i got it, i had to drill out all of the holes because they weren't big enough and nothing lined up. So look forward to that as well.

Man that’s sucky. He said 12 weeks and I got it in 10. Didn’t have to drill any holes out either. I’ve honestly not had any issues with mine.
It does seem like a reoccurring theme lately that he is non responsive.
I see him posting on Instagram ALL the time though

^My experience as well with the plate bumper. Had to ping him at the 3 month mark, and only then got a tracking number.
Once I got the bumper, I had to enlarge some holes, and add some shims at the mounting points as the set up was too sloppy (some said you have to use a big sledge to get the crossmember to slip over the frame, mine had plenty of slop).
Also had grind out the opening for the fog lights that I paid extra for, because the opening wasn't big enough. Grinding 1/4" thick steel is not my idea of fun, especially not for a $1000+ bumper.
The finish where the welds were ground is less than impressive. I contemplated doing body work on it, but decided not to.
It's an attractive bumper, but customer service and workmanship could use a lot of help.
I actually didn't mind the long wait time (it was exactly at the far range of what was promised) - my only complaint is with the quality. I expected much more than what I got for the money. It's (almost) enough to make me want to make my own bumper

I got a tracking email from fedex with of Riverton, WY but no contact otherwise yesterday.
I ordered on 07/24/2020
I don't need to hear from a seller... but it's nice to know if I did contact them they would get back to you? because as we know when things go wrong... and things go wrong more often than we all like to admit.... then you get that stone wall of silence.

because as far as I know they are the only place that makes a decent looking tube front for 3rd gens. who has been in biz for a long time now. most say they make a nice bumper.
Yes I could make my own but I don't own a tube bender... it's just... it is what it is I guess. I also don't mind 3-4 months of lead time. just when I do contact you? drop me a note. like yep your on the list and we will get to you.

Have had my AOR plate bumper couple years, same experience, is what it is, I like it, guess I'd do it again.
Making your own, tools needed plus sourcing the steel without having to buy full sheets or sticks of it.
Tube bumper could be shaped up using a Greenlee power rigid conduit bender, know any electricians.
13 wks it showed up in 2018, now days tack on a bit.

I'm pretty sure I could come up with a bumper and make it. The problem with me is: I'm way over precise, I like tools that work well. so I have to have the good tools. I would end up spending about 4x the cost of the bumper in tools and I know it. I'm not going to fool myself. know thyself, it's hard to admit your faults but that is mine.
my table saw is a powermatic and has a huge cast iron trunnion that is smooth like silk cutting 3" thick white oak. my jointer is an old 8" jet that is super heavy and has a shelix cutting head on it... I like commercial quality tools because they make the job fun. doing things is frustrating anyways but it super sucks if your fighting your tools as well.
I'm not complaining at all about addicted offroad. I pretty much expected the bumper to just show up one day far in the future and I would be like hey cool!
I made peace with that before I ordered.

No doubt you'd nail the design n fab. You have all the cool stuff for wood mine is for metals n plastics shaping.
I get it, AOR they good, I made peace about a month after they had my money n no word. Lol
