I think if someone wants to get in bad enough they will regardless. There are still 5 other windows that can easily be broken and access gained easier than busting out the gull wings.

Just a thought. I did mention the windows, and that I'd already put in my order regardless.

Anyone have an update on when these should start shipping? I know it was expected this month, so I figured I might check in since we're 2/3 through.

TEXAS LEXUS!
I wouldn't hold your breath!
Frank sent an email to those who purchased the kit (at least I got one) with his build schedule and estimated ship date. I was always under the impression they were being built this month, which they are, and that they ship begining of May. Estimated date is 5/12. He gave his direct phone number in the email as well for questions or concerns. Communication from him is top notch!
Thanks for the replies, I'll keep an eye out for any updates from Frank. My receipt is the latest I've received and it says shipping 4/27, so hopefully there will be an update one way or the other in a week.
Odd. I got an email yesterday with that info. Check your junk mail etc. idk.

Did people buy these? Such a weird thread. Vendor never returned to display product or talk about pricing.

Just noticed this online - they seem to have figured out the window / gullwing thing, looks pretty sharp: http://www.vikingoffroad.com/front-runner-gullwing-access-window-g-wagen/
That is for a Mercedes G-Wagon. It uses glass instead of metal. It would be more like WagonGears version than Frank or Phil.

Yeah. I know. I just hear wagon gear is all backed up and remember there being a few queries a ways back about glass specs / possibilities and so posted for informational purposes..
I like but Man those look heavy... I like the integrated catalytic converter cages...
Just installed my wings! Super simple install that my teenage son could do, so we did it together in my messy garage (big house project I haven't cleaned up yet and getting home from Rubicon and camping...). These things are awesome! Can't say enough good about the excellent build quality from packaging to product and the video install instructions. Looking forward to easy and quick access to the fridge and items in the back! Thanks to Frank for all the good R&D. So happy to rep this product on my rig!

So now there are a few sets of these out there, can anyone who actually has them comment on the actual ease of access to stuff inside the truck? I think the design and workmanship looks top-notch, but it seems like it would be difficult to actually reach much of anything inside the truck, particularly if the truck is lifted much? Any truth to this? For me the molle panels are attractive for that reason because it keeps stuff "right there" where you need it.

Looks good, did you go with steel or aluminum? How long did it take start to finish? Brown Santa should be dropping my wings off in the next 2 hours, pretty excited to get these installed.
I have steel and don't think they are too heavy. Took me a couple hours to install both. Just a word of caution, the gasket is the toughest part and I used a bike tire iron (little plastic one) to spare my fingers. Have fun! It's a good little project.
Which is why I'm having some of the 4x4labs interior storage fabbed up to slap in there. It won't be hard to get things out of the fridge though. It's easier than going through the back with the dual swing outs. I'm not super high though. Only 3" and 35s.

I went with aluminum as I live in the north east and want to limit the parts that can rust. What do you plan to mount to the molle?
