Finally my Shrockworks sliders have arrived

[Dorobuta]

those look nice!

I have some Demello Hybrid Sliders on order, I'm jealous that yours are in and look so good!

Or maybe there's something wrong with your expectations. These things aren't made in China. They aren't put together on an assembly line by undocumented workers. Metal fabrication is not glamorous, nor easy and requires hard work and talent to do. It's probably not that lucrative either as its a niche market. However people do it because for them it's likely a hobby and profession that they enjoy seeing the finished product. To expect instant gratification and perfection is beyond ridiculous. Perhaps you should be the one that pioneers the metal fab industry since it's so ripe for opportunity.

As I have learned to say to my wife of almost 25 years...."you might be right". You Doc are a righteous defender of the metal fab industry.

Anything you order from Shrockworks is made to order and requires some lead time. They are too small an operation to be able to keep a quantity in stock and ready to ship. Possibly they simply don't have the space available to store ready made stock? Every bumper manufacturer we can use pretty much has some lead time required for orders with the exception of ARB (who sells worldwide).

Their reputation for quality seems to keep 99% of their customers willing to accept the wait though. Perhaps you'd like to contact them and offer them a 6 figure investment to allow them to expand and get some stuff in ready stock?

Truth here!

That is in fact Kisatchie NF, and I live several miles SW of Leesville. We've been here since 1989 when I was stationed at Fort Polk.

Nice, lived just off 171 from 1979-1997 go back occasionally but sadly not back to visit since around 2012 once I got out of military leave/vacation days are harder to come by. A lot of time on Polk, that's why I joined the Air Force and not the Army

Sliders

man those are nice~

Yes those Shrockworks sliders are very nice.I was torn between those and De Mello and ultimately went with De Mello. They are not too "showy" and are extremely well made. Also they are a So Cal outfit which did influence me somewhat !
