Just an FYI, they seem to generate a shipping label when someone starts asking where the items are, then still take a while to actually ship. There was a thread on here a couple months back with a few people chiming in with the same experience.

I just called to find out the status of my set and still a month out.
More importantly I asked about the powder coating and was told that part is done out of house.
I mentioned the rust issue and they really didn't have a good answer.
I was told that possibly powder coating in Texas is not as aggressive as other states that see salted roads or near the ocean.
Basically told my best bet would be to change my order to raw pipe and get it powered coated here locally where they are familiar with the ocean air.
Not the information I was hoping for.

Seems like they should know what the company they outsource to is doing.

When I contacted them they told me they would discuss it with the powder coating company. Never heard back. But at least I got a free can of spray paint…

Yeah I just poked them asking to switch to RAW steel. I have local powdercoating shops near me, but after some googling, found that it's simply not worth PC-ing in the first place. "Rocks will win" is the common theme, and you're better off saving the $200 and just rattle canning yourslef, so when it does take a scratch, you just crawl under and shoot it again. I intend to actually use these as true rock sliders, so they'll hopefully take some abuse.
