I just got my rear bumper in - was supposed to be here next monday, but fedex was hauling arse! 3 days from pickup to delivery! I was surprised at how many bolts, nuts, and washers came with this thing... I thought take old off, replace and slap a gate release on was it, apparently not.

Got my Shrockworks sliders. Nice engineering, nice packaging, easy install, quality product.
However who was the retard that packaged my nuts and bolts? Was missing a 1/2in nut, got an extra 3/8in washer, and got a 3/8in nut (this size is never used in the install). This didn't set me back as the hardware is commonly found for 10 cents.
Also why don't my sliders have the sweet Shrockworks sticker or paint on them, no free advertising for Shrock?
Also to any future people buying use the phone only, email is useless.
And powdercoating takes awhile.
Overall I am very happy though as my issues are very minor.
I would like to suggest that Shrockworks should provide an immediate copy of your purchase. I was also a little misled, as I was told on the phone it would be 2-3 weeks, ended up being 5 or 6, due to powdercoat.

I assume the hardware bags are filled by hand, if that is the case, I also assume that they just use bins of nuts and bolts to fill the order. I can see a few nuts, bolts or washers missing or having extras.
The "Shrockworks" logo on the sliders are just a sticker. Jim usually includes these stickers in the envelope with the hardware and instructions. If you did not get one, my guess is he is out of them. Drop him an email or call him and ask him to send one your way when he gets more.
It's always best to call and not email them if you want a quick response. Jim is usually pretty good about getting back to you via emails, but I am sure he gets swamped with emails. The internet should not replace the phone, though I wish it would.
Jim's time estimate always seems to be off by at least 2 weeks. I have ordered enough stuff from them now to learn, place the order and wait. I got my sliders in about 4 wheels when I ordered them. I got the front bumper in about 3 months and it took close to 6 months to get the skids and rear bumper. They are a small shop and do a lot of business. They pretty much build orders as they come in, so it takes time.

Yeah...they do have lots, and lots of orders coming in...they are swamped...when I went there to pick up my order, Jim was not there, but one of his guys told me, that they are backed up around a Month and more orders are coming in...the above photo is their Shop, and across their shop is their warehouse....they are a small outfit...and do remember, they also do stuff for Jeeps, and other vehicles besides Nissan....but I think Xterras and Frontiers are their Bread and Butter right now as we speak....Actually, I think Members of XOC should get a good discount, since most of their Nissan Customers are XOCer's....what do you think, Jim ?

Nice looking site. You need some rear bumper and skid info. Here is the best skid pic I have. Here is one of the better rear bumper pics. I made the 05 front bumper page twice!
