Nathan,
The shipping experience was great. The product arrived in good condition and without any noticeable damage. I have three highly modified vehicles and in turn have received many packages of varying sizes, shapes, weights, etc. and know how challenging it can be to protect, package, and handle items such as these heavy and awkward rock sliders.
My initial impression exceeded my expectations. Since all of the customization was done over the phone or via email, I was impressed that CBI Offroad Fab was able to meet my high level of expectations. Considering the substrate, the finished product is excellent - the powdercoat is smooth and even. Most of the weld splatter was removed and only the quality shows through. I have been modifying cars for well over ten (10) years and these are, in my opinion, high-end parts and one can see that time and care were spent in creating these.
My friend helped me weld on the sliders this past weekend (04/01) and everything went very smoothly. The frame plates were prepped and ready to go, so all I had to do was grind down and clean the truck's frame in order to accept the welds. The only concern might be the amount of actual plate welded onto the frame as I have a 1" body lift, so approximately 3/4" of the frame plates were not able to be welded to the frame and protrude vertically. The sliders were purchased and installed in preparation for a wheeling trip this upcoming weekend 04/06 - 04/08, so I can follow-up with any worthwhile feedback/updates.
My overall experience with CBI Offroad Fab was awesome!!! Eleven out of ten. 6 out of 5 stars. Nathan Wright was a pleasure to work with and was very communicative and quick to respond to many (!) emails, inquiries, and telephone calls. Thanks goes out to the guy(s) that fabbed the sliders as well. I would not hesitate to purchase anything from CBI Offroad Fab in the future, and in fact, the only holding me back is money!!!
Thanks again,
Hung
