It's important info as far as knowing that the shipment is being delayed but it not a discernable weather the ship is leaving port or not. I think they are playing it safe. I'm sure it's just protocal the ship people have to follow. I'm waiting for Eshan to send me the landing paperwork so I can get ready when the ship arrives

Referring to this information.

 

[huston53]

I had the same problem with my last shipment, however it sat in port there in Karachi for 3 weeks waiting for customs to clear it. But it is all worth the wait once the tops came in and they are put on the trucks

 

[El Cazador]

So, where are we so far in the "yes" or "maybe" columns?

I guess my point is this: if the situation in Lebanon is the cause of the delay, and that situation hasn't budged substantially, what should people realistically expect? And for that matter, why should Hilery anticipate her next order to arrive by Christmas, 4 months away, when no other order of this magnitude has come close to that timetable (at least, not those I'm aware of).

The order I was part of took 11 months to complete. I think that's what people should expect.

Hopefully ours should take 7 months. I'm not counting the time I had to wait to fill the quota. Ehsan started the work as soon as he got some money in Feb. I waited 2-3 months for the all the "moneys" to come in. And each wire transfer takes a day or two or possibly more if you if falls in a weekend and holiday. And I paid up 20 bucks for each wire transfer thereafter if they wanted to add to the order...which I also had to do. But none the less, Dave, you make a valid point......it may take longer than expected. Hopefully the ones that are ordering will send there moneys as soon as possible so Hoston53 wire part of the order early.

 

[huston53]

From talking to Ehsan he does have some of the bows ready for another order. Thhis is why I thought we may be able to get it by Christmas, but as everyone has said it may take longer. The last order i did I sent the money to him in January and I got the order in mid July. I will work on a yes or maybe colum for those who want to order anything. Hopefully I can figure out how to do this.

Also for everyone to know Ehsan can do vynal tops in grey, black, tan, and off white. Canvas he can do khaki, green (if the material is there), and I think one other color (which I will check on).

I am also interested in a full top, tan canvas with rear widows and bows.

I'll want a canvas top in black... no bows. I may be interested in the optional windows too... but I haven't seen them yet. Can you post a picture?

 

[Johnnymiz]

blue truck is vinyl w/o rear side windows, rusty truck is canvas with rear side windows

i seem to recall Ehsan saying the black canvas wasn't really colorfast....they fade fast
ask him...he's a really nice guy...his handle here on mud is.......ehsankiani

Please see this thread for the tops with the extra windows.

[swilson]

Thanks for the link. Looks good with the extra window!

 

[Johnnymiz]

it really does look better...much more like the hardtop's lines.
that's what i ordered. i hope to get it soon.

 

[huston53]

I guess i'm getting slow johnnymiz

I also wanted to remind every one that he does half hard doors w/ soft uppers for $525, ambulance doors (hard lower's soft uppers) $525, and full soft doors $500 (which look just like the factory soft doors). He can also get tailgates for the 40's and 45's and do bimini tops ($200 i think) for the 40's

Soft top

I may be interested in getting a soft top and frame for my fj45swb. I think I saw that they were $500 + shipping? Steve

 

[huston53]

Let me double check with Ehsan about the prices for the fj45's. I don't know if they are $500 still or if they went up to $600 like the fj40's. As soon as I find out I will let you know. And the price of shipping is added on to the price of the top. What will happen is I will let you know what the cost of shipping and customs is to bring the tops here and once they are here there will be a final shipping charge to your home.

 

[huston53]

Hello everyone,
Here are some pictures that Ehsan sent me to show you of the things that he can make. If you have any questions please let me know. Also the tops for the FJ45's are $600 instead of $500 + shipping.
Thanks

For those of you who have said yes to wanting a top if you could please email me the year of your truck, type of rear doors, what you want, color top, and address that would be great. I am going to start the list so that Ehsan will have an idea of what to make. I will also start collecting money and send it over once I have enough collected for 5 tops so that Ehsan can start on the order while people are still debating about getting a top. I will keep the order open till Sept 9 and will have a final list at that time.
My email address is huston53@att.net
Please let me know if you have any questions

Email sent. Thanks for putting this order together!
