Shrockworks

Good news / Bad news .... the Shrock rear bumper / tire carrier that I ordered in Feb is finally ready!!! I ordered and paid through Screaming Lizards Customs who had placed an order for several in October - they were supposed to be delivered in late February. I made the deal to where I could pick up the bumper directly from Shrock and save everyone shipping costs.....


Not going to post the whole history, most are aware of the PITA that it has been... :agreed:

I was told that it was going to powder two weeks ago and that it should be ready to pick up on or about 7/14.... Kevin said "I will give you a call" :blahblah: ... cool!! Finally.... ready to get that thing on the Jeep already! :drool2:

I have been pre-occupied this week with my back and such and didn't realize that the time had passed when they were supposed to call me... I had a Doctors appt on Friday and could swing by Shrock to pick it up.

Email from me to Kevin:
"Status"

from Kevin:
"On it's way, actually it should be there by now"

From me:
"On it's way where? I was supposed to pick it up!" :duh:

From Kevin:
"I will check with the shipping manager and see what is up" <--- this is just stupid, Justin the "Shipping Manager" is the only dude that preps and ships and he is just outside the door from Kevin's office. :loco2:

I called Screaming Lizards and confirmed that my bumper had been shipped to Dallas.... :banghead:

Just another page in a long saga that is Shrockworks. If I had not already purchased the rack and jerry mounts I would have told them to stick it in there ass..... Hopefully they will figure it out and get the thing to me. I am not paying a cent for shipping - they can stick that in their ass - they make some kick ass stuff but damn!

Rant off....
:explosive:

I looked at their stuff and really liked the looks of it. Decided to go elsewhere when they told be 16 weeks for the order. MVC told me 2 weeks, free shipping and cheaper for a bumber made custom to my specs.

yeah, Shrocks is not the easiest place to get stuff from. But damn there stuff is built good.

It looked like it was. I didn't want to wait till halloween! Plus I saved about $400 between the cost and shipping and had it built to my specs.

Did you add outriggers?....... N2 needs a set also...

wow, shrock is starting to make my experience with bulldog fab look like a cake walk..

it's incompetence like this that causes people (like me) to buy from other vendors. i bought smittybilt because i could get it now vs waiting for a year to get my shit.

i saw the shrock bumper, the bumper made me really want a new bumper. found out how long it took to get one. i bought a different one that i could get faster. shrock did make a sale, just to another company...

No but it does offer some protection for rollover. I will be something like this.

PURE AWESOMENESS!!!

welll.... the eagle has landed!!!

Kudos to Shrock for making it right, not only did they fix the shipping error they rushed it.... basically overnight.

If I hadn't hurt my damn back the thing would already be installed. A buddy is coming over Tuesday or Wed to help get it on the Jeep. Best packaging I have seen.... opened it for a sneak peak and it looks tough. The Mrs. caught me and chewed me out for lifting stuff.....

I will get some pix of the install

You know what would look good with that bumper? A set of Trail ready beadlocks. [/shameless plug]
