So they gain the strength from the mounting as well as the weight distribution across the surface area!

I have to say they are one of the nicest mods I have done to my Jeep! Both in looks as well as function

Due to their complexity, I can see why they might take a while to mass produce, especially with the slight body curve of the JK. They are worth the wait though!

You should have put one of these after your picture.

I can sympathise with manufacturers a little bit being one myself. You really are at the mercy of so many other suppliers, fabricators, powder coaters, etc. I guess what companies should do is post a notice that this is their intended schedule but nothing is concrete until they have them in their hand ready to ship. They really have to put them on the market after they have a prototype to generate business. That is just smart business. I will wait for a product if I know it is a good one.

True true... Shrockworks stuff is IMHO worth the wait. I am waiting on their rear tire carrier design before i make a final decision on rear bumperage.

The PJ formed guards, look to me to be the best of that design style on the market. (I just need to get it cleared by the better half, which is proving problematic) I have been waiting on them for some time.

I really hate the tupperware sidesteps as i am on set 3 already, broke twice Once from a log hit, the second time i think it just started as a fracture from the cold, and i helped it along, so the original set was replaced twice... If i had had to pay even close to full price i would be quite upset.

So, i continue to wait...

Would you possibly be able to take some pics while you do the install and maybe even do a write-up on these things?
