Does anyone know what’s the wait time for Detours of Maine tire carrier

FB message with the tracking #.

 

good to know. tx!

 

Any updates on those of you who haven't received a reply? I messaged them 5 weeks ago and got nothing. Then again this week with no response. Anyone have Wilco or Rigd? Better option than crickets for weeks?

 

I am happy with my RIGd setup. 4 week lead time. Packaged very well with easy-to-follow instructions. Not that it is a complicated install. I got the optional table. I have hit a few trails with it and no issues. I wired my plate lights to the 4 pin trailer connector for simplicity's sake. Maybe sometime I will tape into the taillight wiring. No way I would deal with a company that can't communicate or deliver products on time. While COVID has caused disruptions those would need to be clearly communicated.

 

Hard to say if one is better from the other without owning both, which I doubt anyone does. If you must have it asap or the bike swingout feature is important then go with RIGd. If you don't mind waiting 6mos and want the best looking one (imho) and to mount tire as close to the hatch as possible then get the DOM. DOM is also half the price of RIGd but it has less features.

 

I would say in terms of mount quality they are all likely the same. RIGd offers a lot of optional accessories. I agree that having the tire closer would be nice but after using mine it really isn't as much of a key feature to me. That was a big consideration when I was buying one but I caved on that feature for others that RIGd offered. Namely they rate the towing compacity. Anyway, I don't want to take away from this thread as one on RIGd or others probably exists.

 

I made an order on the RidgeRunner. The 12week clock starts today.

 

Finally received mine (ordered last November I think). Looks good but only primed so still need to paint before put it into use.

 

RidgeRunner ? 6mo ?

I was promised 12 weeks..

 

Add another 12 weeks to that

 

yes, swing out version. yes, 6 months. Maybe he now has things back under control with suppliers and his shop expansion?

It came assembled but disassembled to paint.

 

I’ve messaged 4x website/Facebook until stumbling upon this post. Guess I’ll continue waiting ...

 

I ordered back on April 29th and 12 weeks will happen next week. Chatted with Mark owner of DOM this past weekend, he says it will not make the 12 week delivery.

DM him on FB and he will reply if he has openings. He’s booked for months and takes on a new customer after shipping out some products.

 

Any updates here guys? I ordered back in July 21st.

 

no updates but i ordered back in April

 

You're kidding?

 

let me ping Mark today

 

I've reached out 2x, didn't want to bug him but man

 

yes I thought about this before I ordered. I was okay with 6mo wait which will be oct 29th.

perhaps by Xmas

 

Any update on Dom. He recently told me 12 weeks but reading this people still wait 25. Lol.

I want a legit current lead time so I can expect to give full money for 12 Weeks or 50 weeks lol

 

Just to update this thread. Received my DOT RidgeRunner carrier 12/22/21. That’s a total of 7 mo and 24 days.

but between then I would get updates from them and also read on there site. Apparently it’s a one man operation and he got covid sometime in aug.

In the end I got a great product at a great price. Yes I had to wait longer, but I was in no rush.

I like to support family run businesses.

YMMV

 

Awesome. I wonder if lead time is catching up. I was hoping he told me 25 weeks. Because I would.expect it. But reading this I asked him 12 weeks but on forums it seems to be 25 or so so was looking for just a actual estimate. But he said 12 weeks. Might not make it. Instead of telling me 20 weeks or 25. Err

 

If I were to do it again. I would ask him to weld on 4 bolts to the part that attaches to the wheel.

I’m going to reach out to him and see if he could build this part with some bolts welded on.

 

Here she is unpackaged. Workmanship is top notch

 

I held out a long time for mine, ordered it back in March some time, still could not get a response or anythg from the vendor, I then spoke with my bank to get my money back. Once that interaction was complete, then he reached out questioning why I wanted a refund a few weeks ago. I apologized and asked if we could do business in the future and he responded with No! lmao. Great business practice smh.

 

Dam I would have paid u and took the spot. And have him ship to me lol

 

Come on let's see it mounted!

 

I did a test fit before powder coating

 

So nice. Now what about the camera

 

I like that, it looks real nice. What about the license plate? Do you have plans to relocate it?
