The wait time on them is usually 3-4 weeks but with a group buy I'm not sure.

Post by: CAWoody on July 02, 2013, 04:38:43 PM: I've still got he guy that can do it cheaper if anybody is interested. If you want the hump style he needs one truck for a day to make the prototype and the rest can be done within a week.

Post by: SocalTerraX on July 03, 2013, 07:16:41 AM: I'd rather have someone do it who's done it before. Prototype doesn't sound so good for getting it done right. Lol. Maybe you should try it out, see how I works.

Post by: CAWoody on July 03, 2013, 12:11:29 PM: Your choice. He's built a lot of heavy duty race parts for friends of mine. A set of sliders should fairly easy.

Post by: Lava on July 03, 2013, 09:57:52 PM: I talked with John from WK the other day...Hes currently not doing any group buys, but will pay the sales tax if you pay in cash upon pickup when they are ready.....and you save on shipping.

Also, for you Frontier owners...I personally know that hes got a set in the works. Full production is a ways out, Id say at least the fall.

Thanks for the update Justin.

There you have it guys.

I think the sales tax/save on shipping deal sounds pretty damn good.

These are quality sliders guys...kinda like a West Coast version of Shrockworks IMO.

John has supported SCCX in the past...lets show our support of WK.

Post by: SocalTerraX on July 05, 2013, 08:05:34 AM: So lets see, 180 miles at an avg of 15 mpg. Say $50 of gas. Hopefully it'd be at least $100 saved off shipping and sales tax combined. Think sales tax would be $40. Not sure it would be worth the drive. Lol

Post by: Adio. on July 05, 2013, 08:30:36 AM: 1. Drive up there
2. Bring tools to install sliders
3. Install sliders
4. Pick your trail of choice
5. Test out sliders
6. ??
7. No profit... But money well spent. ;D

Xterra "pool" and save some gas money to pick up a few sets of sliders.

Improvise. :)

Actually...not a bad idea either. Make a Saturday trail run out of it and kill two birds with one set of sliders.

Post by: ultrapc40 on July 05, 2013, 09:03:53 AM: If you get enough orders, just pitch in for Diesel and I can run up and pick them up in my Ram. We can have a garage day at the shop in Fullerton. Afterwards, we can run Silverado Canyon.
Title: Re: White knuckle sliders group buy interest
Post by: SocalTerraX on July 05, 2013, 10:08:14 AM: Yah, if we get 3 people that order at the same time, it'd be worth pooling to get em picked up. I'd be down for an install day at someones garage. Good ideas
Title: Re: White knuckle sliders group buy interest
Post by: steve c on July 17, 2013, 03:38:27 PM: I just placed my order with White Knuckle!

I'm having mine powder coated so they will be ready in 3 weeks. I'm going to travel out there the weekend of August 9/10

If anyone places an order in the next few days I wouldn't have a problem picking them up for you. I'm based in Placentia/Huntington Beach. (may be moving to HB before they're ready)

SO, let me know, guys

Oh yeah, install help and someones garage would be GREATLY appreciated!

Post by: Toro on July 20, 2013, 11:58:16 PM: My place is open to anyone who needs a hand. These go on fairly quick, even with the frame drilling.
All we need is a small can of DW-40 with the straw, two new "Dewalt" 5/16 drill bits and a 12pk. Maybe a Chipotle burrito too.
Mmmmmmmmmm.. Chipotle...

Post by: SocalTerraX on July 27, 2013, 01:39:33 PM: Nice. I don't quite have the money for mine yet. Hopefully soon.
