Default Shrockworks price increase

I'm a little diasappointed by Shrocks price increase. I was almost ready to squeeze the trigger, but now I'm kind of dismayed. I understand cost increases, and I understand supply and demand, but it's been three weeks, and I'm not even sure they're shipping yet.

They mention a new version with fogs due out in a few weeks, so I thought I'd wait and see what it was like before I decided. So much for that.

Just venting, I guess.

supply and demand, just hold out, supply will soon overtake demand
Anyone know what the diff. is between an '06 bumper and an '07, is it just a couple of holes Wider frame?)? can one be taken to the local weld guy for some minor modifications? there are a ton of really good TJ front bumpers out there.

I do want to reiterate that Shrock makes a great product- in fact, I've never heard a bad thing about them, but I was a little surprised to see the price increase so soon, especially since I was waiting to see their other product. At least I don't have to worry about them going anywhere.

How much did they go up? Just the bumpers or the sliders too?

Looks like it went up $40, then the grill and winch hoops went up $10.
The sliders remained the same price

Glad I ordered mine before the price increase
