I received my front and rear bumpers (w/tire carrier, jerry can mounts, and Rigid LEDs) along with skids and sliders on 1/29, roughly 7 days after the initial email from UPS. I received a call from UPS within one business day of receiving its email to schedule a delivery date and then a call from the driver when he was 15 - 20 minutes out. The packaging was really solid and all told the shipment weighed in at just over 900 lbs. Everything arrived in pristine condition and luckily the UPS driver was kind enough to help get everything loaded in for me.
Throughout this entire process Mark and the entire crew at Shrockworks have been fantastic to deal with. I've had more than my fair share of questions, additions, etc. and they've been extremely accommodating on our numerous calls, quick to reply to emails, and thorough all around. I ended up installing the sliders myself and the instructions were easy to follow and the process was relatively straight forward.
I currently have my 2010 TE at Demello Offroad in Riverside having everything installed. While the truck is there I am also upgrading from Stage 5 to Stage 6 Icon suspension (with a variety of other add ons such as 3" rear springs, upper control arms, shin guards, lower control arm skids that they're notching to work with KDSS, bump stops, etc) and a number of Baja Designs lights (Two XL80's and two Squadron Pros for the front bumper, 40 inch s8 for my Baja Utility Rack, two 10 inch S8's for the rear of the rack, and 6x S2s for the sides), all tied to an S-POD source with LED screen. Most of the lighting and additional suspension parts were purchased from Total Automotive Performance as part of the Black Friday sale / group buy.
While it's there they're also installing a set of custom retrofitted headlights with LS430 xenon projectors purchased on the forum from [MENTION=69891]kaloman[/MENTION], 10k lb winch, factor 55 flatlink and fairlead, Hella Sharptone horn, and a few other goodies I'm likely forgetting. Needless to say my wife is excited to see all of this stuff that's been piling up for months finally out of our garage!
Thank you to [MENTION=119516]jicko[/MENTION] for setting up this (and many other) great group buy(s), all the folks at Shrockworks, Cinde and JR at S-Pod, John and Richard at Total Automotive Performance, and the entire team at Demello. Everyone across the board has been great to work with and I highly recommend them all. Excited to get this all done and share photos, which I hope to have later this week.
Have a great night!
