Well, I just called Xterraparts who in turn called Calmini to check on my bumper... It sounds like it will be the end of November or into December before it comes in... very unlikely to be in for Barnwell... which was what I really wanted it for.

The Xterraparts website says *Available November 2003 - so a few weeks ago when I was deciding to do this, I called Calmini and talked to Chris. He said that they were readily available - that he thought they were out of stock at that particular time - but that they would be making more the next week.

So I figured that 3.5 weeks would be way more than enough time to get one.

I guess what I'm really pissed about is that they don't really seem to care much about my $700 order... if they had looked into it when I placed the order and given me an estimated ship date I would have been more prepared for it.
