While my wife and daughter would love these, they would have been destroyed during the off roading trail I drove yesterday. so easy to take on and off important and a simple sturdy bag for storage would be a plus.

If someone has any different information, please let everyone know.
Who knows….if this follows the pattern of most other auto accessory companies like this, they’ll just re-organize under a new company and continue this business model. Look at the company behind the ADV hardtop fiasco, same pattern.
Just started my credit card dispute. I recommend others follow before too much time passes…
Ouch. That sucks. . My order was placed on 6/6

I also placed my order on 6/6 ...
@EIGHTLUG /Curtis -- can you reply here with any updates? I suspect a lot of folks on this thread (myself included) have been trying to reach you unsuccessfully. A quick update would go a long way.

I tried multiple times contacting ArchetypeRacing directly and @EIGHTLUG /Curtis through this forum with no response, full on ghosting, very different to when he immediately replied to my enquiry as to where I could pre-order 
. But regardless of whether this was always a long con or just a heart-rending business failure, nothing excuses the lack of honesty and transparency. Especially given their website is still taking payments for orders we know will never be delivered... Time to get the moderators involved to block this user from creating new posts. I have also started the dispute process. I would suggest anyone else that prepaid for this start their own process ASAP. Now, given that we are all likely out of pocket just shy of $1K, but that is too small an amount to justify legal proceedings, except in principle, I suggest all victims of @EIGHTLUG /Curtis get together. As a group, we can justify the cost of pushing this to the ultimate consequences so this guy can't do it again to someone else.

+1 Also initiated the dispute process. Thanks for confirming the ghosting experience!
What’s…going on here?!
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. This guy took money from inmate(s) here, and ghosted them.
How in hell … guy/gal joined in the forum to cheat the honest people here. I almost became the victim.
How can he/she look to the meals eating every day which the $$$ stolen from others ?! Can we just honor working hard and earn it ?! Shameful …
Sociopaths are everywhere. Even on Internet forums.

So I started a dispute with Citibank and I just got updated that they have heard back from the vendor. I should know something in 10 days but I already moved on to buy other steps
I started a dispute with Chase a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard back yet. I ordered new rock sliders from Greenlane Offroad that stick out far enough to use as a step, but that is less than ideal. I was hoping to keep all the first edition parts. Did you find other steps that will attach to the OEM rock sliders on the first edition?
Nope, I went with the oem steps from Toyota that are direct bolt ons. They are aluminum though but will be fine for my application.
I would like to order these. Please let me know how. Love these!!!
