Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

SO to make this story worse I get a call from predator saying they were sorry they did not call me last week but for sure it will go out this week.

I get a call 2 days ago and the Guard is running behind and I wont get it until next week. Im mad but not pissed at this point.

NOW TONIGHT I GET A CALL and she says we are really sorry but our welder is in the hospital and it will be two more weeks until we ship the brush guard and another week for me and everyone else to get it.

SO to make a long story short this guard better be worth a 3 month wait and we should get free shipping if you ask me. $50.00 off for 2 months extra wait is not worth it by a longshot. IMO $50.00 is an insult since we already paid a deposit on something we cannot seem to get and who knows when it will be in and shipped.

Iam hoping no more issues arise and praying the welder is ok and back on his feet asap.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Well hopefully this doesn't piss you off more. I have some pics of my grill, the brushguard and my Mavericks Fabrications rock sliders. I am really happy with everything but the powder coater is running behind on my wheels which means longer until I can drive this thing again!

The grill was Line-Xed, cost $95.00 with the extra coating so it is never supposed to fade.

The sliders are really cool, I thought about covering them with Line-X but they would never look the same after rubbing some rocks. Tried the Rustoleum hammertone but it looked too different from the brushguard so repainted with Satin black. I am happy with that choice as I got some Loctite on one and was already able to touch it up. I will repost when the wheels are on.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Looks great. Can you paint the bolts on the mavericks to black. They would blend much better that way.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

They told me about the welder being in the hospital too. i wonder what happened to him. anyway, it WILL be worth the wait. also, they shipped my bg on thursday and i got it on monday.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Very nice man.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Merry Xmas all but still no Brush Guard. It has now been almost 3 months and still dont even have an ETA. VERY VERY Disappointed with this company and its HORRIBLE customer service and commitment to customers. I understand the welder got sick/hurt but they should of brought in another welder. If i did that type of business in my company I would be freakin homeless:raar: I hope that Bguard gets shipped asap. I will be calling this week again.

Did I mention almost its been over 2 months and I already pre-paid $300.

Hummeraddict FYI I have followed EVERY channel possible to get ahold of Josh but he refuses to call people back. I assume they are nervous because they pre-sold a bunch of Bguards and have only delivered a few. Iam being patient but really this is getting ridiculous. As you can see by my signature I have owned over 10 hummers and own a Hummer club with over 200 members. Each and every H3 Owner is awaiting this guard and I have nothing to show them.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

I'm sorry dude. I wish they would get their @$$ moving. You're right, if my business was run the way they run theirs right now, i'd be jobless. I'll talk to josh and find out whats up for you.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

i just sent josh an email. hopefully i'll hear from him tomorrow.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Thanks. I also know that these things take time and you are going out of your way to help me. I appreciate that.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Dude, josh just emailed me. he said their welder is back working now and they should be done welding and powdercoating the last few before the end of this week. of course i'm gonna help you bro. I feel somewhat responsible for your long wait. Trust me though, you'll love the thing once it arrives. I was smiling for week when i got it on.

On a side note, what made you get out of the H1's and 2's?

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Double post. sorry.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

H1's are Awesome, Like no other however maintenece and pop-up issues are EVERY DAY it seems. My brand New 2001 H1 at $119,000 had Rust on it straight from the dealer. If you have a Warranty you are all set if you are out of warranty like my other H1's it will cost you a tom of money to keep the truck running like it should. Now for me Iam a bit of a wierdo when it comes to air leaks or fluid leaks so I spent a ton of money on CTIS issues and drive shaft leaks. ALl in all I love the H1's but lack of space for passengers, maintenece and people constantly booing you made me go in and out of the model. I have a family of 5 so space was definetly a commodity that the H1 didnt have.

H2's Luv them however I need more of a usuable truck and that has lots of room and can take a beating. No offense to the H3's but the H2 interior is as nice as my escalade and I dont feel I can beat it up:-) I love my H'2 but use the H3 more for what I feel Hummers are intended for.

Off-roading. Hands down my H3Alpha out wheeled my H2 and Iam a certified off-road instructor. It was the closest thing to my H1 that I have ever off roaded in in any terrain. (H2 owners dont hate me its just a reality) Not to disparage H2's in any way shape or form but the H2 is just a little to big, high and awkward to get out of alot of situations. I have broke more rear and side windows in my H2's trying to get out of tight spots than I can count on both hands :giggling:. The offr oad instructors and I all agreed that the H3/H3Alpha were superior to the H2 in certain but NOT all off-road terrains. Please note my AlphaH3t also has a sweet FRONT LOCKER. Hope this answers your questions. I could go into pages of detail on all the vehicles and models that hummer has made. I owned all of them at least twice and plan to NEVER be without one.

Thanks agian for the assist-Peter

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Very nice! Thanks for the explanation. I don't think you're too far from me. We should get together sometime. Do you have any off-roading places near you?

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Sure do. Sounds Good.

120 acres in Spring Water NY

800 Acres in Geneva

Both sweet spots for wheelin.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Any word BACKINBLACK?

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Nope not at all. I just dont know what to do about it. Obviously email and calls dont work. The worst part yet is they dont even care that everyone sees in this forum that thier customer service and communication sucks. I just dont get it. I called yesterday and today with NO call back as usual.
-Peter

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

I just called again and finally talked to Josh. Nice guy when you can get ahold of Him. He was apologetic but not to worried that I have been waiting for near 3 months for this BG. In anycase I was told yet again that this week was the week for them to come back from PC and than shipping. I will keep you posted.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

:popcorn: i'm suprised at the customer service and still getting orders. Customer Service is the #1 reason I buy/sell with those that I work with.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

I agree 100%. Iam amazed they have not stepped it up after all of this bad press. Its all about that HD Brushguard. If others made it this would be a non issue.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Well another week. No call No Ship as promised by Josh and Predator.:twak: .

I hope you all are in for a long wait if you order one of these.

Can everyone from the first 10 orders please check in if you got yours. As far as I know only teo have been delivered.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

I can't believe they are still not shipped. I just emailed Josh again and asked why its taking so long. Honestly, they should have all been done last month with or without the welders issue. I'm so sorry bro. :lame:

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

5 have been shipped. Some guys that ordered from another forum i'm on got theirs. they shipped the first 5 orders first.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Hey backnblack, here's what i just posted to some other guys on another forum i'm on about the BG..........................

All right guys. Just got off the phone with Josh. He said the BG's are at powdercoating and should be back any day. He said all the boxes are put together already and he will ship as soon as the arrive back from the powdercoater. He also said that if anyone doesn't want to wait another week or so he would refund their deposit money back. I know alot of you are tired of waiting, but i strongly recommend you hang in there for a little bit longer. The product will be well worth it. I'm sorry if anyone on here is upset at me for helping sign them up for this. All I can say is you will be smiling ear to ear if you can wait just about a week longer.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

NO ones upset with you at all. You did a great job. I have had the SMA guard on 3 of my other H3s and it was awesome just as this one will be. I just wanted Josh to talk with me and explain this rather than use you as a bridge. Its just bad business and now I think people may think twice to buy from them. Like I said thanks for all your help. BTW here is a pic of my 07X with a SMA BGUARD.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Wicked nice truck bro. :clapping:

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Thanks. I liked as well. The colors really went well together.:)

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Another week goes by and NO CALL, NO SHIPPING, NO NOTHING!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
IT HAS NOW BEEN 3 MONTHS.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Dude, i posted that message 3 days ago. Give it 4 more days. :) :popcorn:

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Whats another 4 days amongst friends. :giggling: I Really dont have a choice but to wait.
Thanks.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

Now its becoming just a JOKE. ( I WAITED THE 4 EXTRA DAYS AS YOU REQUESTED and NO CALL NO RETURN CALL NO NOTHING) I cannot even believe this company even exists. I had at least 10 folks who were ready to buy this BG and now DONT WANT TO EVEN GO TO THIER WEBSITE. I just dont know what to say except WOW. Im now getting pissed and feel that because they are the only ones who make this they can treat thier customers like crap and delay orders for 3 months. I know I can get my money back but come on just send my dam guard out already!!!

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

According to a guy on another site i'm on that ordered one, you should receive a call today or tomorrow about them shipping it now. I suppose its done and ready to ship. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is true.

Re: Predator/SMA HD Brush Guard for H3
 

I just got the call (Yesterday). BTW Thanks for all your help.

**NOTE***Shipping Charges are nuts. Mine was $190 for shipping to NY. That my friend is a joke. But what can I do :-( total all in all was $730 something.
