SHROCKWORKS out of business?

[HenryMac]

Well bummer. I bought a set of their sliders for our 2019 SuperCab, they are excellent quality and they are as nice today as when I installed them back in January of 2020.

Glad to see others chose White Knuckle. Top notch, mine are great

Nice write up. Thanks for doing that.

Happy I saw this, new truck just came in and was planning to put down money for sliders this weekend. I guess it is back to the drawing board figuring out if I want the expensive white knuckle or to drill a million holes for the rocky road.

Has Shrockworks gone belly up? I ordered skid plates, sliders and the ultralight bumper from them on May 10th. Starting about 2 months ago I contacted them multiple times and was told that my order would ship in "a couple of weeks." In the past week I've phoned and emailed, to cancel my order, with no response.
Do we have any Houston forum members that could go knock on their door?

Howdy from Houston,
Interestingly enough this outfit is 10 minutes from my house. I should be able to pop over and check it out in the next couple days. I’ll let you know what I find.

Mark, that would be great. Thanks!

Not sure if this helps, but they were really non-communicative when I ordered all my stuff from them a couple years back (bumper, sliders, under-armor). I did get an email at one point saying they make their stuff to order by hand and were going to get to mine as soon as they could. Sure enough, the bumper in this case showed up a few weeks later. My guess is they're like a lot of other shops and trades these days, having a hard time hanging on to workers - reliable people that can cut and weld metal, especially aluminum, seem to be in short supply. Best of luck

Update from Houston,
I stoped by the Shrockworks address. They are still there, sort of. The roll up door was open and the front door was unlocked but no one to be found. May have been at lunch or upstairs or in the John. I don’t know. I wasn’t about to go snooping around in that neighborhood. What I could see through the door was promising. At the roll up door was several pallets of product with what appeared to be customer names on them. The shop floor was staged with product, rock sliders I think. But again, no one answered my repeated yelling into door.
I tried calling the local number. So many times the vmail box is full. it Doesn’t appear to be a very large operation so with all that said I’d say you may get your order, one day. But still no excuse not to answer the phone and return messages.
Good luck…

Thanks for the update. I'd say this is textbook 101 on how to NOT run a business. This is why I didn't go with them for my Jeep sliders, bad/no communication. I wish them well but I know if/when I'm in the market for sliders I'll be looking elsewhere.

May have been at lunch or upstairs or in the John smoking that whacky tobaccy.

The fact that you couldn't get someone to help you while you had your feet on the premises is worrying.

Mark,
Thanks a ton for doing that!
I'm not sure where this leaves me.
But I am sure that this forum is a great resource and has some excellent people on it.

Well it is texas so, good chance they were hoping for the chance to mag-dump someone for "breaking" into their store.
