EIGHTLUG - When do you expect to start shipping out the first orders?
Sponsored
Just got this email:EIGHTLUG - When do you expect to start shipping out the first orders?
Not to be a buzzkill Chris, but pretty sure that is just a forum e-mail like they have sent out in the past for their other items. They are supposed to be at least 8 weeks out and based on experience I am guessing it will be at least closer to 12 and by my count we are only about three weeks in (at least I am, I ordered on 11/20).Just got this email:
Hey Chris,
Your order is currently in production. You will receive tracking info once it is ready to ship.
Thank you for your patience.

I have ordered quite a few items from them at this point and this seems like an actual update. I ordered a pretty basic black white bread - so, maybe they're building those to have in stock like they do the other black products. Either way, I am not in a rush. But, maybe Curtis can chime in.

I also have the Boomba which has been pretty good in "extreme" temperatures. With the AR knobs we're probably going to have pickup something like this for the summer, haha.currently have the boomba knob (hate the obnoxious branding) good otherwise. even cooking in the summer sun it is still usable. how bad are these going to be?
also ordered the white bread machined with reverse lever, hoping it will heat soak less than the black. looking forward to see what you come up with for the trail sights.
Aman, good thinking. Could also use something like these? Maybe a bit pretentious though.I also have the Boomba which has been pretty good in "extreme" temperatures. With the AR knobs we're probably going to have pickup something like this for the summer, haha.
That's great, I hope so. I have also ordered several items from them and they never have beaten the time estimate they give on their website for any particular item and for this item it was 8 weeks. This is actually the first item I have ordered from Curtis and team that I haven't been counting the weeks.

Hey Chris,
We'd like to take a minute and let you know your order has been received and is in process! Many of our products are custom machined or custom finished and have lead time. Most of our in stock items take about a week to ship. Please check the product description for individual lead times.
Thank you again for your order.

Was looking for cold weather gloves the other day and came upon my old BMW driving gloves. Still look as dorky as ever, haha!Aman, good thinking. Could also use something like these? Maybe a bit pretentious though.
That would be great.Herbie - the email to me says it’s ‘in-process‘. The email to Chris says ‘in-production’.
So, maybe they are producing them now.?
I'll get that added to the site this week.Just want the lockout, when will that be listed?
The HUGE/HEAVY stainless steel round bars are cut down and being prepped for the bar feeder. We're wrapping up a run of Ti lug nuts now and shift knobs will get rolling.That would be great.
