When I remove or install, I use my small electric driver. It takes less than 5 minutes for both sides. All you’re doing is separating the clamp halves. The entire assembly is removed in one piece.
So if I ordered on Black Friday, what’s the lead time I’m looking at? Currently on week 10 of waiting, but now it’s looking like I won’t see these until the summer. Crazy
I ordered 09/05/2023 and still waiting patiently, order 8431 so that's 5 months I'm in the queue. If that gives you any indication you have around a 6month waiting, maybe longer depending on the machines they use going down for maintenance.
If they were upfront about the wait I would have bought something half the price that would be at my door a week later. I just had a painful wait for my bronco, now I have to wait even longer for some running boards that I paid way too much for.
Eightlug said they doing 4 orders a day so that's, lets say 120 a month, so between September and February they did 600 orders give or take, but that doesn't take into account how far they were behind to begin with. They probably need to expand to accommodate the back log of orders or stop taking orders till they catch up, and yea if I knew 6months for the running boards I would have looked elsewhere I wanted them for the winter but now it looks like I'll have them possibly just before spring. Quality I get takes time, but is that the only reason they're taking so long? Or is it they bit off more than they can chew?
Exactly, I understand machining these steps out of a billet of aluminum will take time, but be honest about it. Their website still says 12 weeks and they keep adding new vehicles to make them for. Either accept the fact these take forever to make and update your lead time to 26+ weeks or expand your manufacturing abilities.
That's a good problem to have, in some ways. FWIW, maybe not charge the customer until the item ships, maybe have a phone number and someone to answer that number so any questions can be answered efficiently. People expect top notch customer service today, its the world we live in.
My order went from "just back from Ceracoaters" to "in line for machining". All ass backwards, glad I bailed.
AR | MAGNUM STIRRUP®
You already knew we weren't going to stop with just the STIRRUP. Ladies and Gentlemen, I bring you the MAGNUM.AR | MAGNUM STIRRUP is live on the website for pre-order. We crunched the numbers and bought up 240' worth of 6061 billets to get the product more cost comparative to the 4 door STIRRUP. There's just no way getting around the volume of material necessary to make this size magic happen.
2 Door: $1,245.00
4 Door: $1,395
With the Bronco6G 20% forum discount, it's shipped to your door for:
$996 for the 2 door
$1,116 for the 4 door
Some of you hit pause on your STIRRUP order to allow the release of the MAGNUM pricing. Go ahead and fire off another email ([email protected]), if you're a go or no-go. If you're a go, we'll create a special code at checkout for just the difference of the MAGNUM. For everyone else that has already said SEND IT on the thread, we'll PM you the 20% off code. The 20% off code will be available to all Bronco6G members forever ever.
============================================================
We're using 12' x 6" x 1.75" of USA made 6061 billets that we are cutting down to size, and machining right here at STARKILLER BASE, to make each and every MAGNUM STIRRUP. If you have an overland build, trail conquering rig, or your daily driver the MAGNUM will fit the bill. It's five inches of width will give your boot or shoe a proper platform to assist you in climbing up in the saddle, conveniently reaching gear on your roof rack, it will protect your BRONCO from shopping carts and car doors, or just something awesome to admire.
Those of you that have any of our products know that nothing we do is rinse and repeat jeep level engineering. This is all multi-op, chamfered edges, post machining, color matching OEM+ GOODNESS. Our entire intent is for our MAGNUM to look like it was on your BRONCO from the factory.
Let's call it 60" for the two door MAGNUM and add fifteen more inches of length for your four door MAGNUM. I've been around billet car parts for a while and the MAGNUM has to be one of the largest billet aluminum parts to be used and semi mass produced in the automotive world. It kind of has to be, to be called the MAGNUM, right?
The entire MAGNUM, along with its Clamps, are coated in a powdercoat that we went to great lengths to, to ensure it closely matched the color that FORD uses, furthering the OEM+ appearance, and not a aftermarket bolt on. Then, if you so choose, we post machine to remove the powdercoating from the top surface and reveal the raw billet aluminum and provide a very classy contrast. This will also give the MAGNUM years and years of striking good looks and no rust... ever. The more you step on the MAGNUM, the more naturally worn the aluminum will look but it won't affect the powdercoating.
MAGNUM is mounted to your OEM rocker rail with 4 Clamps each and M8 and M10 316 stainless fasteners. Nothing but the best. A single M8 bolt alone has 110,000 PSI tensile strength! The MAGNUM is definitely more solid than the rail it's mounted to. With its coating and the use of aluminum and stainless, the MAGNUM will require little maintenance and it will last the life of your Bronco.
The MAGNUM will be sold in a pair. You'll select 2 Door MAGNUM or 4 Door MAGNUM from the drop down. This will also be a BRONCO6G exclusive part, at launch, and B6G members will always be eligible for the 20% discount.
AR | MAGNUM Clamp Bracket
The Clamp on bracket is standard for both 2 Door and 4 Door MAGNUM. Both the 2" drop location and standard height (more even with the top of the OEM slider, are available on the Clamp Bracket.) This is the same tried and tested Clamp used with the AR | STIRRUP. We just doubled up the clamp number for both looks and just in case you want to take a family photo of everyone standing on a MAGNUM. *The first family that posts a pic doing this will each get our new Overland Bronco shirts.
The Clamp is secured with a pair of M6 316 stainless steel bolts. We apply a heavy duty rubber isolator to our Clamps to ensure there is zero metal on metal contact with your OEM rail. No metal chaffing means no wear on your rock rail's finish. And for those in the salt belt, that means less rust and corrosion on that steel part.
The Clamp bracket is easily installed and removed. We're talking minutes. Not so crazy easy that you would need to worry about theft. All of the mounting hardware is hidden from view and also placed in a counter bore in the Clamp to ensure the bolt head is never worn away or damaged by road debris.
*I'll continue to update this thread with detailed pics and the machining process. This is going to be fun!
Pretty ridiculous how you are telling customers not to ask for an update when we paid full price based on the stated info+ lead time on the website lol.
They charged me the cancellation fee I agreed to on order
People don't realize the amount of time it takes to look for a specific order, then find where it is in the process, locate where all of the supporting assemblies are in their respective processes, then find out how many are in front the order in question, then deduce how long it will take to essentially inspect, finish, pack, and ship all of the like orders ahead of the order in question, then come up with a ship date that is attainable for the order we're looking into, barring any slight hiccup in CNC machine uptime, delivery truck breaking down and not providing material on schedule, utility power outage, or anything else that can disrupt the production flow and cascade down to slipping lead times. Then fire an email back.
