New TJM T13 Bumper Comin' (1 Viewer)

[petrotk40]

It was the old style T13, the container that is due within a week has the newest updated T13 style. We should be having one sent to our shop hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Have those been sold already?

extremelandcruisers have the old T13s in stock, at least that's what Ryan told me a few hours ago. Extreme, like several US retailers, currently advertise having the new T13, I was even told they were in stock to later find out there's only old T13s. The advertising is screwing us up.

My guess is the bad shipment from Australia mentioned before screwed up all the US retailers.

Crusiersolutions advertises the new T13 as well. I will call them tomorrow.

Edit: I was told "two weeks" regarding the shipment of new T13s.

Don't take my word for it, but this appears to be the new T13 in black. I dug it up on some site in the Czech Republic (I wonder if they are having container issues in Europe, too)

I like it in black, and will buy one if TJM gets their act together.

So... any news on these?

 

[OregonLC]

Still waiting... Sounds like the container may be in customs now.

 

[LT]

The containers are on death hold waiting to be released from customs.

the government is putting containers coming from AUS on Snail hold. Basically it is wine season in AUS right now and the containers they put the wine in are set in the fields to be loaded. While in the field snails get all over them, i think they are tiger snails. When they are bought to the peer the snails are still on them and then they are loaded on the ship. While on the ship most of the snails fall off but the USDA is afraid some don't and might be on other containers. Once they hit the US peer they are put on snail hold and inspected.

these snails colonize like cockroaches and destroy streams.

That might be the coolest plausible excuse I have ever seen on this forum.

Where do we find info on the container package list? I might want some skid plates.

well that i don't know. I just know we are having containers being held up at the pier because of these stupid snails.

don't get me started if the shipping marks don't match the shipping marks on the paperwork....

Harmful aquatic hitchhikers (mud snails, zebra mussels) are incredibly invasive and can destroy river, stream and lake ecosystems. They are a HUGE concern. I wouldn't be surprised to hear them holding these boxes for a while.

Snail holds only usually last up to 3 days and they release them. If they find snails on the container it might hold it up another day. If it is a decimation issue it could be over a week.

Where did you get that info from?

 

[Austin LC]

They're in!

 

[SmoothLC]

So Dennis, did you ever get a new bumper.

If you sig is any indication, it looks like you're looking elsewhere.

If I can ask, what happened?

Nope! I have a nice rear from BumpIt, but still sans front. I also have a nice Titan 12k winch sitting on a shelf!

TJM completely dropped the ball. It finally came available in July but by then I was completely over dealing with them. ARB is great, but everyone has one and I'd rather have something more unique. So here I sit waiting for a custom design that I like. (MetalTech hint, hint!).

 

[hotboimaknusweat]

Wow almost a year later and still no bumper for you. That completely sucks. I was liking the look of TJM too. Everyone seems to have ARB, something different would have been great but maybe thats why everyone has ARB. Great product and easily accessible!! We are consumers and dont like to jump through hoops just to get something. Who's selling and who's buying again?

 

[Sverige]

ARBs are the most popular front bumpers for a reason...

 

[TheFuzz]

That sucks to hear. I do love my ARB, but it'd be nice to have something that isn't so wildly commonplace.

MetalTech definitely needs to jump into the front bumper fray.

 

[Chris Sandstorm FJ]

I think Christo is working on getting more of the TJM 13s, have you reached out to him?

 

[sleeoffroad]

We have them in stock.
