I deleted my first post but I cannot resist the moral/spiritual irony in your comment here

...the "christian thing" to "hang himself"

Pick up the phone and call the man.

I am confused: You say you one them on August 25,2005 than the post about winning is dated October 3,2006.
Yeah Dave should be getting them to you, as of April '07 it sounds like he was gonna ship. When I was in the service, there was a saying "The Maximum effective range of an Excuse is Zero meters"
I would have said screw it sometime back in '05 (of that date is correct)
But if you ever get them and they are for your 1st Gen (in your avatar) and don't want them, PM me and I will sent you some $$ for your troubles and shipping...

my bad entered 05 instead of 06

I have already contacted dino1967 and his tube doors are on their way...he never called to check just posted...The jig for that year took us a while to perfect...fyi...Dave

norcalsvx

you still have any more sets for sale dave?

TOYOTAPARTS

We are making them as fast as we can...part of what took so long was trying to find a steel fab source to make the hinge brackets and the flat plate for us so the doors can be made faster...every person we tried said yes and after weeks and months "sure" and never getting any we said screw it and went back to making the whole thing ourselves..so we are tring to have product on the shelf so orders can go out the same day..call me with the year you need and I will check..530-622-2148 Dave...p.s. our 90 up 4 runner "rear" doors should be out next month...

dino1967

got the doors thanks

I purchased a front bumper from Davez Offroad Performance, http://www.davezoffroadperformance.com/, on 5/21/2008. The price was $530, which was $75 more than the standard price of his front bumper. This was because my truck is body lifted, and he was going to add a 2nd front bar on top of the first one, to give it a different look and make it line up.

Bottom line: Today is 04/09/2009, 11 months after the charge to my credit card for $530, and I still have not received my bumper. I found out today that he credited my money back without my knowledge. See below for complete story.

The same day, 5/21/2008, I purchased a rear bumper from Marlin Crawler.

5/30/2008: the rear bumper arrived, so I called Davez to see where my bumper was. The shop told me that it was almost ready to be shipped out, that there was some issue with the 2nd bar, and that it would be worked out.

6/17/2008: I called them again, they said that the bumper was welded up, ready to go, and a truck was supposed to be by to pick it up at the end of the week.

7/03/2008: I called them, and this time spoke to Dave, the shop owner, and he said that he got all the parts together, and that it was getting ready to be welded together. Wait a sec, didn't someone else tell me that it was ready to go, and a truck was getting ready to pick it up? Dave shrugs this off by saying "must've been talking about a different bumper." I ask Dave to call me and/or post pictures on his forum of the bumper after it is all welded up. He says he will do both.

9/1/2008: I called them again, and this time ask straight for Dave. I ask him where my bumper is. He tells me this 5 minute story about how times have been tough for his shop, it's hard to find good help, blah blah blah. He basically tells me that he fired a welder over my bumper because it wasn't up to his standards. Something about him trying to pull on something with one of his shop trucks and my bumper, and it breaking apart. The revision 2 bumper is going to be welded by Dave himself. I tell him once again to call me when it is ready to go out.

10/20/2008: I called and spoke to Dave, and the first thing he says is "Did you get your bumper yet?" I say No, and ask when it was shipped. He tells me that it shipped last friday (the 17th). I ask him for tracking information, and he promises to call me back before the end of the day. He doesn't.

11/10/2008: I called Dave, and told him that I haven't received my bumper, and ask for tracking information. He says that he will call me back, again, and doesn't.

12/9/2008: I called, and talked to Dave. He said now that the bumper is sitting in front of him, waiting for a stinger to be welded on. 1) i didn't request a stinger, and 2) What happened to the bumper you allegedly shipped out already? It certainly didn't show up at my door.

2/6/2009: I called and got to one of the customer service representatives. He said that Dave is out of town, but my bumper was sent to a welding shop for finishing touches. I get the tech's personal assurance that Dave will call me back when he gets back to town.

3/5/2009: I called and ask if Dave got my message. He says that he didn't. I ask him where my bumper is. He still does not have a solid answer for me. I call him out on it, and tell him that not only have I been logging our calls, but that he told me it shipped out 6 months ago, then tells me that it's being welded together 2 months after that. He offers me my money back, but I'd rather have the bumper. I request the bumper, as well as something extra for my time. I ask him to make an offer, and he says he will call me back. I advise him to speak to legal counsel, because I inform him that I will be filing complaints with the FTC, BBB, as well as collecting my money back from claims court.

3/9/2009: I find that my account has been credited for $530, from Davez offroad. I call him, and ask when he was going to inform me. He says that he has been so busy that he hasn't had a chance to make a 30-second call.

Bottom line: Only order from Davez offroad if you want him to hold your money and get bull answers and run-around for 11 months. Avoid at all costs.

First of all it was a custom bumper and takes longer. Yes it was taking longer than it should have. The first bumper shipped was lost and we got reumbursed. True a welder was fired for the lack of quality on this bumper. Said bumper is done and was ready to ship but customer seemed to mad at this point to wait any longer so a quick refund seemed to me to be the best solution. I am sorry that I/we blew this order and mad a customer angry.

X2 on the patience!
I had a similar experience for a rear bumper, I finally built one with a friend who works at a fab shop and I now have exactly what I wanted....no compromises.
If you don't have the equipment and/or time to make one, try to find a local shop that is willing to work with you based on your own design.

I guess what I would ask is what was done to compensate him for all his time? Businesses, like humans, are prone to mistakes. I woukld say let us not jump all over him for poor business practices in ONE instance. If anyone else has an experience, good or otherwise, post it up so that we may get an idea of quality and customer service.

904_runner

You know what?

Bash him all you want.
I have spoken with MANY DIFFERENT people who say they are very happy with what dave has sold/made them.

Just with any company/business there is going to be mistakes. I think there should have been sooner information exchange and the customer should have known what was happing,

But wouldn't you have been pissed if you received a crooked bumper?

that's wierd. I have done business with Dave'z a few times and not had any issues with him. Tube doors I got from him are great quality. I have also read great things about him on other forums.

I understand the OP being PO'ed . Things get fubarred at times and a refund should have been issued earlier.

scuba

well Im not going to take him off my list of would buy just yet.

I do however understand the OP's feelings..

But it is a CUSTOM bumper he would have to make..Rob im sure you got your doors quick cause he has a jig from them...

Just my thoughts..

dropzone

iTrader: (6)

they are actually the first 1st Gen doors off the jig
Dave has come through on some misc parts for me at decent prices, usually shipped with in a week. Hopefully will be ordering my DIY beadlocks from him in a few weeks.

scuba

Well there ya go...
