Was wondering what kind of expierences people have had with this company? Have you recieved product when promised, typical wait times for bumpers or beadlock wheels, etc.

No personal experience with them, but I know someone who had the beadlocks. not sure of his impressions of them. I do know that the bumpers are just plain obnoxious looking though. Do you work for them, and are trying to get some free feedback or something?

No, I do not work for them. I have owned, and still do own many different Toyotas, land rovers and a unimog. A friend here in MN has a 4x4 shop and has been charged for a few sets of wheels, and they seem to not be able to deliver when they said, and have no realistic idea as to when they might be able to. This was not meant as any kind of " advertising campaing" or " bash-fest ", it was just simply a honest question posed to the group. This place sees A LOT of traffic, and has a wide, diverse group of subscribers. I was wondering if others had recieved better service, and would like to hear anyones opinions on this matter, both positive and negative. They have some gear that would probably be on someones truck who is out here, and if they want to respond to this, that would be great.



Oh, and a great big " HI " to you too Welby.:p


Thanks!

I ordered a set. Dont plan on getting them anywehre near the dates they promise. I was told that it would be 2.5 weeks worst case senario. After a month and a half I was told it would be 3-4 weeks before they would ship.

I cancelled and got my Rockstompers. :D

Thats the genral thought about them, BAD ASS beadlocks but they take way to long to delive, miss "promised dates" but when you do finally get them, 99% of the guys are happy with them

I waited almost 6 months for my rear bumper from trailready due to supplier issues. Actual time from when I spoke directly to trailready till I had a bigass crate in my driveway was ~50 days. It fit like ass, required two days of cutting and welding to make right and didn't have all the pieces. YMMV, TIFWIW.

I bought a front bumper from Trailready, it took 5 weeks longer to get it than they said, and each week after the promised delivery date it was 'at the powdercoating company and will be shipped out tomorrow or the day after'

Fawkers straight up lie to ya on the phone!!

So when I got my bumper, of course it didnt' fit in the brackets so I had to modify those...I'm hoping their beadlocks are quality...the brackets I got with the bumper looked like a two year old did the mounting holes with a plasma cutter...you have no idea how shitty the brackets looked.


The bumper was nice though, it even had some scuffs from someone at their shop kicking it with a birkenstock or something. You could see the tread!!

Trail ready has been trying.....they are not BIG company by any means, they have been hit heavy with lots of orders all at once. they are trying to get caught up and are begining to, it seems. they have quaility products, but they had time issues.

I don't really give a damn how big the company is. If they can't fulfill orders they shouldn't be taking them. Then they lie to people? It's amazing how some people run businesses. I've never bought anything from them but I think they have the best beadlocks out there. Just my .02 that I'm sure everyone wants to hear:D

I will have to chime in on this subject!

If you have any of these wheels ordered or plan on ordering them you are not going to get them in 2.5 weeks. That is total bullshit.

I waited 9 weeks for a set. Cancelled my order, called rockstomper and ordered a set had them in less than 2 weeks. I orederd mine from Avalanche and everytime I called they told me 2 weeks, 2 weeks.

I was working under the rig one night and something fell from the sky. It was an invoice for TR beadlocks. They had sent them even after I had cancelled (They took them back no questions asked.) I lost track of the weeks by then. If you order them now you better be planning on winter wheeling!:eek:

I think that we ordered around the same time. That is funny shiat. Did they have them made already? I bet they have a few sets of 8 lugs. If anyone wants a set of 2" backspaced 8 lug wheel I bet you could get some now! LOL!

I ordered rims ,month and a 1/2 to get them
One rim had to get sent back wiggeled side to side 1/4"
2 weeks turn around.
The other three rims go up and down about an 1/8"
Not welded up very sentered I'd say.
Have'nt ran them yet. they look tough though.
