Wow, crazy that the backorder wait has been so long. I have pretty well purchased everything from DDM so can't really speak for other vendors but is it worth looking elsewhere?

Have you called them and asked what is going on, perhaps your order got missplaced?

Sounds like Bob already has some, just head over to Canada and pick them up.

No fault of DDM's. I have been on and off the phone with them once a month since i placed the order.
Apparently their supplier left them hanging, multiple times.
I try to purchase as much as I can from DDM, but after the third month in a row of "maybe next month we just arent sure" (I technically ordered in February and the last call was "we are hoping end of July")  and a new Big Wheel Turbo on the way, I figured i would ask around on the forums to see if anybody had a set they wanted to part with.
Some people are returning to stock before they sell and some people have a set they never got around to installing or a spare set they have decided to part with.
Its the 'ol "the answer is always no if you don't ask" thing.
If nobody has a set I will order from Werks as he indicated a 2 week lead time.
For nostalgia's sake, I was kinda hoping to stumble across a Dejon set as that was what was on my last Sol. (almost got lucky on the other forum with a gentleman that had a dejon set, unfortunately they were the "shabby" version with a hole/mount for a BOV which i am not looking for.)Trying to keep it as stealth as possible out here in Cali...

No biggie, just  throwing it out there!

It sucks that there are so many delays getting all sorts of things these days. From chips to rubber, appliances to steel.
Been waiting 7 months for a range and there is no delivery date in sight.

Yes 2021 has been the poop icing on the turd cake of 2020.
I am guessing 12-18 months to see the supply chain settle down a bit. Barring any other world wide unplanned disturbances to it.

Good times.
