A month or so because they fab them when you order them. I believe mine took about 6 weeks.

I just ordered mine for the Fronty on Aug 12. A week later after seeing the order status was still "queued" on their website I sent an email for an update. The response was 6 to 8 weeks. The good thing is, I'm over seas for another four months so I don't really have to play the waiting game with them. I also ordered their bumper. Personally, all I care about is that the parts are in the garage by the time I get home. I'll gladly wait for Shrock products though.

If you want a set of sliders that you have to weld on, I know somebody that may have a brand new set or two lying about their shop. I can check with him as he may have sets now that are bolt-on as well. Mine are welded on and they are super strong. His prices are comparable if not cheaper too shrocks and his turnaround is around 4 weeks if he does have to fab them up.

Best bet is to call shrock and ask their wait time. They're very up front about it and it'll be pretty accurate to the amount of work they have to do.

They told me 8 to 10 weeks and I got them after 12. Installed just last week.

You could also try Calmini (http://purenissan.com/nurf_bars.htm). From everything I hear their customer service pretty much blows, but their sliders look pretty cool and are a little cheaper than Schrock.

Shrock is stronger than Calmini because of the round tubes is much stronger than squared tube.

Glad I went with the Schrock then.

The wait time seems a bit ridiculous to me... There aren't any super exotic parts in a front or rear bumper and sliders are really simple. Shouldn't it be like 2-3 weeks tops?

You have to consider the fact that he operates out of one building/fab shop and he makes armor for both jeeps and nissans. The quality of work is only as good as the people he hires to build them and those type workers aren't easily found. He doesn't have the personnel or the capacity to operate on a level like ARB or TJM which is a good thing in that the quality usually exceeds theirs but the drawback is the turnaround and the fact that he can't produce enough volume to build up a "ready to ship" inventory. The demand for his products far exceeds his output. If you want quality, you have to have patience.

That or know someone with a custom fab shop who can build armor for you. If you think his turnaround is bad, there are some fab shops that are refusing orders due to backlogs.

Drake is right. I had to wait a while for my shrock products (Skidplates, front bumper, sliders) and I did hate the wait time but I completely forgotten about it once they came and the quality from Shrock is definitely top notch.
