I got an email saying in production as of Aug 5 so I am trying to look at it this way, maybe these ones are not finished /shippable and IF mine gets built and is good to go it will go out right away. (Wishful thinking)
Yeah you're right but the thing is that Chinese steel has been known to be pretty crappy, I work in heavy civil construction and we joke about it all the time.
Well that's a kick in the ass. I am a Canadian, have a Bronco with Aug 9 build date, have a 4wp store just up the road from my house, have spent a crap ton of money there on my Jeep, and I can't enter. Bah humbug. Oh well good luck to all you US folks 😁
