What is the "R" factory quoting for a delivery time now, if an order were placed today?
The reason I ask is, soon my R9 will be here, and already people are asking me about it. You know once they get their hands on it, they'll want one, and I'd like to have an answer as to how long they will have to wait.
Thanks
-
So, how long have you waited?
Last delivery wait time was 5 mos., as far as my order was/is concerned. Mine's due in Sept. sometime...
-
If I remember correctly from John on his new order,I think it was stated 4-6 months estimated delivery time.. ;)
Skyhook-Good luck on your delivery.. 8)

As stated in my earlier posts, I'm in my ninth month.
When I called the R factory last October, I was told three or four month wait. we ordered in November.
I'm just thinking with the new facility production would be up.
I should have the R9 in two weeks.

Thanks, man. Any luck at all, I won't need luck, right? ;D

Okay-How about a SPEEDY delivery!!! ;) ;D 8)
You will be pleased with your R9.. :)

Mine was ordered in October and is supposed to ship out in another week or two according to the factory, so that's just over 10 months!
Once they get settled in and things are running smoothly, that should improve dramatically, I would hope.
-
The new truck I just ordered will take 8-10 weeks. Heck, I am a Rohrbaugh owner -- I can do that standing on my head! ;D
-
Very good, Duane! LOL
-
DDGator, what kind of a truck did you order? Great Employee discounts on the Big Three!
Yet, you probably could have found the truck you want on the lot at a teriffic price.....unlike finding a R9 ;D
-
Well, the "employee discounts" and such from the Big 3 are on 2005 models...
I know this may surprise you, but I have a bit of a penchant for getting "hard to get" items. I was one of the first people around to have a Chrysler PT Cruiser. I had to wait 3 months when I ordered it.
This is my latest order:

The good news is that I have a GM affiliation and I can get the GM Supplier price anyway. ;)
-
Ahhh, my an H3, very nice.
I like those myself, but the little pick-up type.
-
The H3 isn't available in a pick-up style, at least yet...
You are thinking of the H2 SUT. Nice, but BIG and a lot more cash.
-
Duane:
I just turned a slight shade of green from pure envy. Congratulations on your H3! I saw one on the Interstate last week and was so enamored of it that I almost ran off the side of the road. Enjoy, my friend. Enjoy.
-
Thanks, Richard. The order is in, but it really will be 8 to 10 weeks. I will post a pic or two when my new "Urban Assault Vehicle" arrives.
The H3's ability to ford 24 inches of water might yet come in handy this year!
The pic above comes pretty close to exactly what I ordered.
-
Duane, Enjoy the new tank,hahahaha, when it comes in. Something that nice looking will sure dress up your image.LOL Have fun with it and post pics, both mudded up and clean. Regards, Tom

Absolutely! As Brad Paisley says, "You gotta get a little mud on the tires."
-
What size engine does that beast have? With these gas prices I spend about $100 a week feeding the V-8.
-
Its the GM Vortec 3.5 liter in line 5, cranking out 220 horsepower. Its not a speed demon by any means, but hits about 17/21 mpg.
This truck, while giving the impression of imense size, is really not any bigger than a Ford Explorer -- although just a little bit taller.
-
A v-5 huh? Is this engine shared with anything else or is it strictly for the H3? Did you get to test drive?
-
It is an in-line 5. I did drive it, and I liked it a lot. I am supposed to get a 24 hour test drive this week when the loaner becomes available.
The engine is used in some other Chevy trucks... not sure which ones off-hand.
-
Look, guys, my email is triggering a response signal to the original thread-- something about R9s, remember?
The very, very, last thing I want to read is something about a Ford, Chevy, Dodge, Jeep, etc.
In normal circles on the internet, this is called 'Hikacking' a thread and is quite annoying.
Want to talk off-road, fine, I have two of the finest; but this here is a R9 place and the past half dozen postings have nothing to do with the R9...
((How do I get 'un-associated with this thread... anyone know??))
-

I think hijacking is generally a deliberate attempt by someone to take over. This seems more like thread drift...a natural event when the original topic generates limited interest.
The I-5 is from the Colorado line of Chevy trucks.

Skyhook - you could try selecting the link up top for ''Notify of Replies'' and click ''no'' - that may stop emails.
I know what you are getting at but ya know - in a friendly forum like we have here - sometimes ''thread drift'' does happen. Much as anything cos for many of us it is a place we feel we share with friends.
Ideally a thread should hold course but hey - now and again drift can occur ;) :)

I think you might actually have to pick "yes" because it will ask "do you want to stop getting notification"....assuming you are set up to get them.
-
Skyhook,
Indeed this is more of a case of thread drift... and it was my fault. Waiting for an R-9 became about waiting for other things...
I have generally not been too aggressive in policing thread drift. Being the administrator... I guess I give myself even more leeway! ;D
Sorry for the drift. If you click on the notification options at the upper right, you can turn the notification off for any thread that you tire of.
-
Gator, you had better be careful, we would hate to lose you. :D :D :D :D
-
Gator:
I'm sure you wouldn't want the hijack police to have to lock ya up! He seems to have fallen asleep or taken on new duties perhaps! :D ;D :P
-
I love trucks, and cars. I don't feel this topic was hijacked, and I started it. We all ramble on, and its nice.
I have a Sonoma 4 door P/U, and I love it. It does not have the inline five, it has a V-6.
Here is a picture of it at a PFC event.

Hey Chameleon, Nice truck! I hope you moved it, it is in the way of some of the targets. Also don't leave the keys in the truck, it could be car -jacked! Tom
-
Oh Yeah, I moved the truck, as we used my truck to set up the targets, but the rental van....now that's a different story ;D
-
I used to have a Dodge Dakota that I miss very much. I traded it in for a Jeep that I couldn't stand a year later and now have a Dodge Magnum. I like the Magnum but I still miss my truck. Nothing like a pickup for convenience. Unfortunately I live in S. Florida where if you aren't rich you at least need to keep up the appearance that you are. Meaning no pickup trucks in the driveway. The homeowners associations down here (for the most part) won't let you park a pickup in your own driveway. I guess it seems too blue collar to them. Have they looked at the prices of pickups lately? Luckily mine fit in the garage. The guy across the street has to park his outside of the developement in a strip mall at night because his garage is too small. Anyway, when the truck hit about 125,000 miles and the A/C went and the catalytic converter went and it was leaking oil like a sieve I decided to go for a hassle free association friendly vehicle. I miss my truck. Ah well, enough of my ranting.
-
We need to free Florida!!! Tom

I too, have a Dodge Magnum, Silver,but not a Hemi, got the HO v-6. :D
-
Yeah, I test drove both the HEMI and the bigger V-6 and well, test driving the HEMI was a mistake because OH MY GOD! That thing moves. I got the grey one. So, my payments are a bit more than I would have liked but I am happy, though I still miss my truck. :)
-
Here is a Magnum I got to drive once around the track, and did a lot of sitting in the passenger seat.
(http://www.fototime.com/4EF3FB5C1BB1081/standard.jpg)
-
That's the charger, but it is basically the same car. The magnum is the, dare I say it, station wagon. ;D
-
OOOPPPS :o
My fault...we have the Magnums in the line-up too.
I get them all confused these days.
We had this as a Pace Vehicle last season.

Though not as jazzed as those driven by chameleon, here's my work in progress:

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v107/Leathercrafter/Car1.jpg)
It was painted by my father-in-law and we got to use the same type paint that's used on the yachts he paints. Price per gallon - nearly $500! :o I figured with the amount of rain/salt water/hurricanes we get to enjoy in FL, that would be the best choice for the paint. Low maintenance, too - just spray with water and chamois, with an occasional buff.
-
Wow! Nice transition K-Man.
When I looked at the very first picture you posted, I immeadiately thought you may do something custom, like make it look like a holster...just kidding.
There aren't many cars I do not respect, I have a fondness for them all.
Is your Mustang sporting a V8? You know how nice they sound,
-
Here I am taking the Charger down the straight at a bit over one hundred miles an hour......just kidding, I'd scare myself, I am driving, but doing forty..

Actually I've done quite a bit to the 'stang in the 8 months I've had it. In addition to the free paint job, I've replaced shocks/struts, fuel pump, rubber gasket around sun roof, head liner/visors, put on window tint, put in awesome stereo w/amp & subwoofer. The next thing will most likely be changing tires/rims. Then probably would redo seats with leather after that. It's a '93, but just turned 87k miles. Last owner only used it to run around town and short errands - what a waste! ;)
-
Wow, that's really restoring/rebuilding the car! Lot of work.
It does look nice, so you did a great job.
Does the car sit lower than the stock height/ It looks like it does.That will make it handle better.
I like the stock look, but if you do change the wheels, put some thought into that not to change the appearance so much that it gets away from that look. Sometimes real high wheels ruin the ride, but look cool, if you know what I mean.
Keep the photos coming.
