Anytime man. I pre-ordered from TF back first week of may, you may be able to get on quickly or maybe not. I don't know what their supply is currently like.
I think I read recently that they had some changes that had to be made to the actual carrier piece and production was a little behind, but it would be out soon. If you have time I would call them and ask or send them a PM on here.
Check out this thread, I think it's where the mention of the delay in carrier production is https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/spon...-order-228535/

Got my carrier this evening and starting the install tonight.
The packaging looks great when I unwrapped the carrier and all the hardware was packaged well and accounted for
As mentioned on the 1st page I too found bare metal under the hinges. I grabbed some touch up paint and gave it a light coat
Note the board is incase rear gate falls!!

Finished up the rest after the paint dried and had some dinner
Running the stock carrier for now to see how it handles the 38" spare
All in all the install went pretty easy except I think it would be helpful to have a few torque specs for the bolts and torx for reinstallment.
Also I got a little lost on the position of the spacers when reinstalling the factory tire holder, maybe a picture of the position of each spacer would be great to have.
