I have 2 months left in the window for a claim, I'll give it one more month and if I haven't heard back will ask him to cancel and refund, if he doesn't I'll refile the claim.

I talked to John on the phone today. He said he made revised fixtures for milling these and production time has significantly improved.

I'm in the same boat as everyone else (months behind when told "a few weeks" for lead time) and my fabricator needs them pretty urgently, so hoping I can get them soon. Today's update was "another week or two." So... fingers crossed.

I talked with him yesterday, heard the same thing. Had a great conversation with him, probably took too much of his time.

It’s been over 18 months and haven’t received anything. I spoke with John on the phone last summer and he said he was going to get my order out “within a week or two”. At that time I added the Ricks Tank upgrade and sent him more money for that. Now he has my $500 and he won’t respond to emails, and the online chatbot on his website isn’t helpful… I would prefer to get what I ordered, but I’m considering just asking for a refund at this point… But TBH, I’m not sure if I would even get that…

If anyone has received an order lately, I’d be curious what your order number was/is… I’m #3298… am I getting skipped over and others receiving their orders??

Same result here. Have not been able to get in contact in a long time and too many promises of the situation being fixed and product coming soon.

I can't imagine how many thousands of dollars this guy has stolen from members on this site alone.

Classic cash flow symptoms imo. I’m guessing that recall buried him in a huge hole and he can’t dig his way out.

I got a call on 3/6/25 and he said my order is ready to ship. I recently sold my car so I no longer need the vents, so I told him I’ll just take a refund. He then told me it will take a couple weeks to receive my refund, so I told him” fine, just send me the vents and I will resell them to recoup my money.” I want the fastest solution, whether it be refund or fulfill my order because I don’t trust anything he says anymore. He then said he would rather refund me the money than send the order. He said I will get my money back in a couple weeks because a bunch of people want refunds. I haven’t received the refund yet…. He tried to tell me the reason for the hold up on the vents is due to the new tariffs (which I call bull$h!t)…. I will update once/if I receive my refund.

Wow. I'm order 3579, so if you were 3298 and it was finally ready to ship, I'm screwed. His website says tariffs aren't impacting shipments! Ugh.
