I ordered on June 11th, I still haven't received mine. Northridge said the wait was 3 weeks when I ordered. After 4 weeks I called Ace to see what the hold up was, they said the wait is actually 6 weeks. I have called them once a week since then. It will be 10 weeks on next monday... this thing better be immaculate or I'm going to be severely disappointed.

They had an issue with their metal supplier. They got sent the wrong stuff and made a few bumpers and sent them out. They didn't catch the mistake till after the orders shipped. So they had to re make those and put current orders on hold. You should be getting yours soon I would assume. A guy posted on here saying he waited 11 weeks or something.

Thinking about orfab as well. Anyone have a side shot showing how far the tire sits away from the body(without cans.)
Thanks!

Huge fan of the OR Fab as well. No rattles, no issues with tire weight. I personally haven't found a bumper that I like yet, so I'm still running stock rear.

I like the OR-Fab, but I might be a lil impartial...
