It's all good. Just thought I'd update this thread as it goes along., Since I'm in the north where it snows, I'm really just hoping to get it by June. I've got plenty of projects to do in the meantime. As somebody once said, winter's for wrenching and summer's for wheeling.

I live in the South where winters for wheeling, summers for wheeling springs definitely for wheeling and fall really is for wheeling...ohh and with all that wheeling, you are going to have to make time for wrenching.

Get those pics up quick! i know you will love it! Maybe once I can retire in 8 years I can get to your neck of the woods to see some trails.

Sounds like it actually only takes a week to build roughly.

Our plant takes about 4 days to build a vehicle give or take, the train ride to port so it can go to dealer is another thing. Usually, 3 months from load out to dealer. that is our pipeline supply.

 

[MTMan]

Does load out mean when it’s done?

 

[MTMan]

Dealership just called. I guess my salesman left and I have a new sales lady who reported the message and said on average it’s three months to arrive.

 

[Valhalla]

Yes, I mean when the plant hands it off to transport.

 

[MTMan]

Interesting it takes that long to ship.
