I ordered my Calmini bumper from xterraparts.com about 3 1/2 years ago....ordered on friday and it was delivered by freight on monday. Sliders took a whole 5 days. It just depends if the product is sitting there on a shelf ready to ship. The hot vendor seems to be Shrocks, but i've yet to have an issue from my Calmini products (bumper, sliders, steering system). Like others have said, just play the waiting game. I almost waited a week for my 3" suspension lift.....almost.

well since you guys are talking about waiting for shrock front bumpers. I ordered mine on September 7th. I left the country on September 9th (and made the mistake of telling Jim he didnt need to rush to make it because i wouldnt be back untill mid November). I went to his shop on November 12th, and he told me that it would be another 2 weeks. It should be ready by Monday or Tuesday. Thats 2 months and 19 days. Is that the record or what??

Im not complaining at all, I love jim's work and am glad that i get to visit his shop personally to make orders.

I just thought i should tell you guys so you didnt feel liek you were the only ones waiting... even us locals have to wait!

yeah i just got my bumper in on monday nov 11th. exactly 2 months after i ordered it. he kept putting it off for me too. dont believe anything he says cuz he lies a lot. he promised me i would have had in like 2 weeks before i actually got it but once again he lied to me. i aint gonna order anything else from him b/c i got my bumper and on the top bar some of the black powdercoat was chipped off (not just a little bit.. almost half the bar) and i am NOT sending it back cuz i aint waiting that long anymore. im through with them. i got my bumper finally and they are NEVER getting it back.

i know hes a small company but still... if it was going to be 2 months he should have told me that in the first place.

I have Jim's sliders and expect to get some more items from him in the very near future. Damaged product is the liability of the shipper and should have been noted on the waybill before accepting it. Insurance?
Once it is out of Jim's hands, can you really hold him responsible for what a trucker or delivery person does to it?
Sure my sliders came a little damaged, but geez, you should see them now. I'm very happy that they took the abuse and left my X unscathed, except for the pinstriping and a dented in rear bumper corner. Looks like the Kiss in MOAB next year will not be a worry.

PS. Is the diff cover for the OR's ready to order or Preorder? If so I'm in for a complete skid package. I have to get busy and order soon before the rate hike.

I guess you really did ride the short bus didn't you?

Tell ya what...send me your bumper, i'll pay to have it re-powdercoated, and I'll put it on my X. Then, you can wait on Calmini to make and send you a bumper...Jim didn't lie to you, fuck tard, he answered your questions as best he could with the information he had available, when circumstances beyond his control change it's not his fault.

To be honest, if that is the additude you are going to take, I doubt many companies will want you as a customer. Quality takes time. As for the powdercoating, sorry to hear that, now go beat it off rocks so the rest of it looks the same.

Go buy brush gaurd you tard. I know you can get those next day at the dealer.

yeah and they also break. i know someone who got in a wreck and it snapped the brush guard right in half.. exactly what a tree would do to it also

ive already talked to shrockworks about it and they are paying for my bumper because they said that it was their fault after talking to the trucking company. so i dont really care what anyone says cuz i got a free bumper b/c he screwed up.

and i dont know why someone said something about calmini cuz i aint ordered nothing from them.

Are you fucking kidding me? Your bumper gets buggered in shipping, Jim goes to the mat, stands up after all of your shit and eats the cost of the bumper plus all of his time and you're all, "whatever I don't care 'cuz it's free."

You're an ass. Go choke on your bumper.

I think the short one meant he doesn't care what others say, because he got a free bumper...kind of the opposite of how you took it.



I think he's saying that BECAUSE Jim took care of it with a free bumper, that anything the OTHERS might say bad, doesn't matter to him, as for HIM, Jim took care of it.

Wait, he is giving you a "FREE" bumper because there was a nick in the powdercoating? Or is he paying to have it repowdercoated?

Whats going to happen when your wheelin', um I mean, at the mall and a rock flips up and chips the powdercoat? are you going to send it back? or make Jim fly down to repair it?

What a fuck'n douche bag you are shortbus.

Everyone else on this board loves Jim and Shrock for all the good products they make and the extraordinary customer service he provides. All the while wishing they had enough cash to purchase some of his products.

You get a chip in your bumper, (which your probably going to get worse if you actually use the thing for what it is intended), act like a bitch about it, get the thing free, and still act like a bitch.

I hope karma comes back with a giant shit sandwich for you buddy. Enjoy it

EDIT: OMG, I just checked your profile and your a chick? You really are a bitch. Enjoy your bumper you cunt.

Um, your external page linked to in your profile says otherwise...

No, asshole, you got a free bumper because Jim takes care of his customers...fuck you have an ass backwards way of looking @ things...and the brush guards rarely break...they fold over and destroy the front clip of you truck.

So stupid...so very stupid.

I agree here with Tyler take your confused personallity and stuff it. You dont know what you have on you truck by your profiles.

Also stay away from CO I hate winey little fucks on the trails.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!

you obviously missed the bus(short) on that one.

WTF?? Way to take care of a customer (albeit a douch bag customer). I can't wait until I have the money for the front bumper.

Short Bus: "Do you serve Crabs Here?"

Jim: "Sure, we serve anyone, have a seat"

x2

I just scratched the shit out of my sliders in Calico this weekend, maybe Jim should give me some new ones.
