I ordered a Cage, Parachute Mount, and Wheelie Bars December 15th, I got my Cage and Parachute mount about a month ago, but still no wheelie bars.

I have spoken to Dan quite a few times he says they are just slammed with work, and they are pretty shorthanded, they even have a help wanted blurb on there webpage

Did you have to have anything custom done to it? I had my cross bar moved and had to wait about a month and a half for it. I was told they make a bunch of one style cages at once and I had to wait for the f-body jigs to be set back up for them to do mine. Give Dan a call, they are great to deal with.

I ordered mine Jan 31. I called Thunder on March 11 for a status, and on that day Wolfe was working on orders with Jan 5 order dates... So they are a little backlogged.

That is when I ordered mine. If I had known it would take this long I would have had one built local.

I`m sure we`ll all be happy when we get ours but the bad thing is I ordered a bolt-in with the "over the seat to the flat area" option, so, I can`t put my gas tank back in yet because I have to get to those bolts, or hook up my Racetronix electrical or install my 12-bolt and everything else that goes along with that (brake lines, shocks, PHR, etc,etc,) I can`t put my interior back in or install my 5-point harness...AAAAHHHH!!!

Ok, I feel better now.

Default Wolf racecraft

The reason is there so backed up from the Chirstmas sale they advertised 20% sale that ended Jan. 1st and they got swamped big time. I put my order in Dec. 20th or so and It took them about 10 weeks before I recieved my cage window net / torque arm / lowers/ panhard rod and through floor subs. They were well worth the wait, quality cromoly and lightweight cage and suspension saved probably 75 to 80lbs. over my mild steel stuff. T
