how this business has not managed to ramp up production to meet demand after being in business for some long i will never understand.
all they have do to is put metal on a jig and weld it. they should have an inventory of these ready to go by now...

Credit card was charged this week. They sent some info about the shipping company calling me when it gets here.
It's Friday 2/23 and I am wrapping up week 18? Hopefully, I'll see it next week.

SSO racks are full length, all aluminum, and no drilling is required. Our wait times are currently in the 4-6 week range, but we are ramping up production to keep them in stock.
A little birdie tells me that a tax sale is going to happen from March 1-31 that is good for 15% off all roof racks, too. Just something to think about......

Drilling isn't the end of the world, seal it up properly and check it every now and again and you're set. I have a hole drilled in my roof for my wiring.

19 weeks!! Jeezzus
Dam near 5months for a part, when I lived in the UK I shipped a turbo carcass here to have it custom build and took my engine to have new valves, forge pistons the lot done, happened in 12 weeks! (that included shipping through customs etc etc)
How comes production times are so slow?? I want one but if I'm ordering it, its to use it in a few weeks not half a year later..

because they don't listen or don't care as long as people keep ordering from them.

Mine was 19 weeks as well from start to finish.
Installed it this weekend and absolutely love it. I knew what to expect going into it because of this forum and I plan on having my truck for 10+ years so 19 weeks wasn't a huge deal to me.
I do wish they had better customer service but like others have said the only way to change that is to have people stop buying their product.

That bugs me, just leaves a gap in the market for someone to do the same thing but better..

Agreed, just a shame that they won't spend the resources to be great on all fronts.

@ jonz
thanks! The looks, fit, and finish have exceeded all my expectations. I’m anxious to start loading it up with camping gear as soon as the weather warms up.
