Hanna Sliders - Ordering?

I have been trying to purchase a set of Hanna Sliders for the past few weeks and have been unsuccessful. I have tried calling and leaving messages numerous times and have also emailed.
Any suggestions?

He's always been responsive to my emails.

Note that he was out for like three weeks in May to go to Moab and travel the west.

Try emailing or calling him again. He makes quality stuff, so it'll be worth the effort.

Ken is a fulltime firefighter and may be really busy right now, plus he has some race truck stuff going, be patient, E-mail is the way too get ahold of him.

FWIW, I'm also waiting on a set of sliders. I called Ken back in April to get my name on the wait list. At that point he was pretty backed up and said 6 weeks to build them. I just sent him an email yesterday to find out what the latest time frame is. I've talked to him on the phone in the middle of the day and emailed late at night.

He must be traveling, working, etc. and out of touch. I've had good luck getting in touch with him both ways.

If you want a set of his sliders and aren't in a hurry, I would recommend to be patient and continue to try calling him.

A ton of fire activity in CA around here. I bet he is working.


Edit: There is apparently a huge 12,000 acre fire out at Indians, which is in Ken's district. He is a Hunter Ligget firefighter.

Could be a while.

a good friend of mine who is good friends with Ken Hanna asked about getting some sliders and rear bumper for himself and me and was told he wont be taking any new orders till November. Whether that means for us or everybody, I dont know. But he has been fighting the fires and I was told he is really busy with work and also the side business.

I was on the fence whether to get hanna or metaltech sliders. Different construction and style but both seem adequate. In fact after talking to Ken on the phone I was leaning more strongly towards his sliders until I found out how long he was back ordered. The metaltech sliders have already been shipped and are bolted on. I was in too much of a hurry.

I was told the same thing. I really want the Hanna rear bumper. But he's not taking any orders until November.

Who else has a rear bumper with hoops like Hanna's?

4x4 labs does but not as high as Hanna's.

If you have to wait that long, I would just go with Luke.

You won't regret that but you will have to cut the frame.
